Heading to the land of Ichiro and the gyro-ball....

So my postings have been few and far between the last week. That's because I have been preparing to fly out to Japan tomorrow for a week of work. So, don't expect much else next week either....especially since I'll miss most of the Cubs games (considering they'll be playing around 8 or 9 am in Japan).

Its been a good couple of days for the Cubbies. Two in a row against our hated rival Cardinals. Zambrano and Lilly continue to dominante. 2-out RBIs are still coming. Soriano even got 3 hits last night to break out of a mini slump. Let's keep it up. A sweep today vs the Cardinals would just about eliminate them for good in 2007. Then we move on to Cincy where anything less than 2 wins will be a major disappointment.

In other news the Reds have taken 2 of 3 so far from the Brewers, but the Brewers just acquired Scott Linebrink from the Padres. That bullpen consisting of Villenueva, Wise, Linebrink, Turnbow, and Cordero is flat out disgusting and filthy. You better get to the Brewer starters (which is not easy either), cause I have a feeling from the 7th inning forward, the Brewers will not lose many games from here on out.

GO CUBS GO!

What are your thoughts on the trades so far? I'm a little upset that the Twins traded Castillo...but my hope is that the move was made to free up money for Santana and Hunter.
