Ozzie did have a lot of steals also, and he has a ring, so he does have some things that would merit the hall calling his name. Let's not bash Cards just for the sake of. I don't like em either, but Oz and Pujols are two legit dudes. Can't be mad at those guys.
ya i see your point! i guess im still heated about Santo still not being in the hall!

Unlike the rest of the Cubs fans in this thread (whom I have love for), you come off as a complete !*%%*. You're a Duke fan to top it off, which meansyour lame taste isn't just reserved for baseball. You and truthmain have that in common

Soto Has Big Night As Cubs Sweep Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH - Geovany Soto and Mike Fontenot hit two-run homers in Chicago's five-run sixth inning and the Cubs finished off a three-gamesweep of Pittsburgh, winning 7-3 Thursday night to run their winning streak to five games.
Soto had three extra-base hits, including two doubles, among his second career four-hit game, and Derrek Lee also drove in two runs despite not getting a hitas the Cubs won their sixth in a row over the Pirates dating to last season.
Jon Lieber (2-1) got the decision by pitching 4 1-3 scoreless relief innings after starter Rich Hill needed 72 pitches to get through three innings, allowingthree runs and three hits and walking four. Lieber pitched 7 1-3 scoreless relief innings in the series.
After going 12 and 15 innings to win the first two games -- the first time in 81 years they've needed that many innings to win consecutive road games --the Cubs won this one in regulation against the pitching-thin Pirates, who dropped their fifth in six games.
After emptying their bullpen in consecutive games, the Pirates needed a lot of innings from starter Matt Morris (0-1), who lasted seven innings but gave up 11hits and seven runs, four earned. Morris led 3-2 going into the sixth, but quickly fell behind when Kosuke Fukudome walked and Soto followed with a drive tostraightaway center for his second homer.
Jon Lieber has been nothing short of amzing these last 2 outings. Long reliever is a tough role, and the man has done itflawlessly. Rich Hill needs to get his head on straight.
And the Brewers lost WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Go GIANTS !!!
Almost forgot.....

Aw, beat me to the sweep pic. Good looking out.
Soto is a beast, definitely an up and comer, did you see the way he took off running the bases like a sprinter? He had to know that ball was gone, he knockedthe leather off it.
Lieber = ace in the hole, dude is money.

Ozzie was one of the finest SS to ever play the game. Idk about you, but his throwback jersey is sick. The 70's Padres version, I mean, because Iwouldn't be caught dead in a Cardinals Jersey. Oh the humanity.
Damn, our 5 game win streak was snapped. I kind of figured Big Z wouldn't have a superb outing in only 3 days rest. *** Marquis, damn you!!! If you onlyhadn't gotten the flu. I blame the L on you!!!
Oh well time to start another winning streak. GO CUBS GO!!!
