Soto saw almost as many pitches as Rizzo and Castro combined in less plate appearances. But at the same time, Castro hit a couple of balls pretty hard.

Goodbye, top three draft pick.

ESPN:

Soriano’s home run was his 150th as a Cub. He is only the 13th Cub to have at least 150 in team history.

This was probably a really great day for this guy:

shush, you are not supposed to talk about that.

Nah.... eventually this team will suck ass again. It's only a matter of days before Dempster is gone, a couple of weeks before Garza is gone. I also would not be surprised if Maholm ends up on another roster as well, along with Camp, Baker, and Johnson. I suspect Soriano will be a waiver-wire deal in August. Everyone is flying high now, but that will change once this team is back to having Volstad and Wells back in the rotation.

Ha! Wells is broken! :lol:

 

[dabynsky]

Everything is bad. You are not allowed to enjoy your team playing well. Stop it, zach.

 

[2SeamHeat]

Ha! Wells is broken! :lol:

Yes, but isn't he expected back by the end of August?

 

[Rice Cube]

Yes, but isn't he expected back by the end of August?

For our sake, I hope so :lol:

 

[2SeamHeat]

For our sake, I hope so :lol:

Oh wow... you know it's a bad season when we're rooting for the return of Randy Wells.....

I'm enjoying this streak, but I do keep in mind that it's only a streak. It won't last, especially since it looks like our pitching staff is going to be gutted any day now. So, I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

I'm enjoying this fun-bad season so far. But if we're gonna tank, best do it in style :woot:

Mr. Cub should make another thread. We're .667 as a team with Mr. Cub threads :woot:

The Moneyball movie was kind of centered around the A's 19-game win streak to end the 2002 season and put them in the playoffs. Maybe this year's team can be the focus of a movie with the opposite... 19-game losing streak. It can be called "WeSpentOurMoneyBadlyBall".

Definitely. I really don't think more than the lunatic fringe think this is more than some good ball, but I also think it is dumb that people are telling us we aren't allowed to enjoy this stretch. It is going to get ugly once the pitchers are gone (Dempster, Garza, and Maholm).
