Hmm..does Juan Pierre play well in big games? Maybe the World Series? .333 BA, .481 OBP-I would call that good. I think Juan Pierre is just a slow starter.

Well, since the high in Houston is expected to be 100 or so, it doesn't look good does it? Or does this matter since they could close the roof? Or does anything matter about the Cubs? :cry: Oh wait, the game is at Wrigley. Never mind. :oops: It's time to start drinking anyway. :P ...... and if they were playing in Houston, and they did close the roof.... what would the temperature be ? Bottoms up !! :wink:
