Pittsburgh and Houston need to get with it.  There could be a 6 way tie!

In the AL East 3 games separates the Yankees from everybody else - except the Red Sox, who are 4.5  games back.  And Tampa Bay, in second place, has the same record as the Cubs.

The NL Central is the very definition of mediocre.  So far, the Cubs fit in nicely.

Jes - now that the Cubs are in first place, I imagine you are quite concerned about our bet.  Tell you what.  Being the good guy that I am, I am willing to let you buy out of the bet for just 9 steak dinners.

Let me know.

Heh, isn't it great to be following a first-place team?

Just think how good the Cubs could be if they weren't throwing in the towel every fifth game by starting James Russell.

Any recent word on Cashner and Wells?

By the way, the word on Guzman seems to be promising.  I had really written him off.

Does the article touch on the fact that Cashner is a horrible pitcher and yet another wasted draft pick?

Jay Jackson pitched 5 innings and threw 70 pitches in his start yesterday.  That means that he's as stretched out as Russell...maybe he should get a shot the next time through the rotation.

Didn't Jay Jackson just return to the Iowa roster yesterday?
