Maybe Dusty is all tingly knowing he can insert Neifi on a daily basis. You obviously can't replace Lee, but might Soriano still be available?
Other Cubs things:
- David Aardsma looked much like a AAAA pitcher the other night. For those who don't know what that is, it's a player who is above AAA level caliber but can't cut it in the majors. I hope I'm wrong.
- Depending too much on Will Ohman will be scary if not destructive. He has been shelled. In 3.1 IP he has allowed 3 BBs, 6 hits (2 of them homers) and 8 runs. He was solid last year, but at this point he is a LOOGY.
- When Hairston gets the call he has to run the bags better. He is only 21-38 in SBs the last 2 seasons.

Hairston is iur 2b as long as he produces. Neifi is the team's 6th man if you will. When someone needs a day off, insert Perez that day. He's flexible that way.
Deals are not usually found this time of year but if Hendry can pull it off, that's a bonus. Who would the Nats take for Soriano anyway?
Zoner...
Not sure if this the appropriate place for this comment....but here goes.
I'm a die-hard Cardinal fan. But beyond that I'm a baseball fan. What was with checking the baseball twice yesterday with Mad Dog on the mound? The guy's a first ballot HOF-er. He doesn't need to be doctoring the ball.
I was impressed with the emotional control that Maddux and Dusty showed in not throwing a fit the first or second times the Cards asked for the ball to be examined. Have you heard anything about any of this?
I haven't heard of it but it totally smells of LaRussa, aka the Delicate Genius. He's bush like that.
