Apparently I should have stayed in bed today. I can't read. :oops: .... and here I thought I was the only one that had that problem ! :wink:

You have a point. Maddux seems to be giving up a lot of gopher balls this year. He needs to keep the ball on the ground. Of course if the Cubs score 6+ runs, we shouldnt have a problem..... CUBS are 23-5 when they score 6 or more runs.... 25-41 when they don't :wink:
