You'd do well to consult a physician about whatever's ailing your gut.

CUBS have hit into a lot of DP's lately...... 7 in the last 3 games. That brings us up to average in the NL. Actually, average is 36, and with 37, we're tied for 8th place. Interestingly, not one of our pitchers has GIDP'd...... 04/06 - 05/30 GDP Soto 10 Bradley 4 Fontenot 4 Theriot 3 Fukudome 3 Miles 3 Hoffpauir 3 Scales 2 Soriano 1 K.
