Geo is obviously not hitting near as well as he was a year ago at this point. So far all 3 Cubs that I've taken a look at were hitting better at this time in 2008. We will continue until we have done every Cubs starting position player. Up next, Milton Bradley.
Remember, the numbers don't lie!
Shifting gears, I just finished reading a great Cubs book called "Sweet Lou and the Cubs". George Castle did a great job of describing every angle of Lou's first 2 years in charge of the ballclub. George also wrote chapters about some of the players like Alfonso Soriano, Ryan Theriot, Derrek Lee, Carlos Zambrano, Rich Harden, Ryan Dempster, Reed Johnson, and Kerry Wood. It's a great book that I would recommend to those of your who enjoy reading and the Cubs.
Cubs won tonight, great pitching by Rich Harden! Let's do it again tomorrow!
