All-Star Sunday
WHOO!
Three Cubs in the NL's Starting Lineup for the All-Star Game!
Just freakin' awesome. Fukudome, Soriano and my homeboy SOTO!
Yeah, NotPuffy's been telling anyone that would listen (and several folks that wouldn't) That Soto's the best catcher in baseball and the fact that he's the first rookie to start at the position for the NL is validation of his (and I'll admit it my) love of this kid's skills.
Granted, the odds of Soriano actually playing are dicey at best, and I'm bummed that Berkman beat out D.Lee at first and I understand Jones over Ramirez at the hot corner...but three voted in is awesome...add Zambrano on the rotation and we're at four. I know the odds of more guys getting on the squad are not so hot, but the fact that the Cubs are the only team with multiple starters makes it easier to get more Northsiders on the bench.
What?
Don't follow my logic?
Well, with the Cubs being the only team with multiple starters, that means six teams have starters so only ten other teams are fighting for mandatory bench spots...(every team needs to have one guy on the team...)
Brilliant.
I love the All-Star Game. I really do. And as a Cubs fan I've spent many a year with no one to really root for. Shit, I've gone to the bathroom in the fourth inning and missed the token Cubs' appearance in the game. But this year...It's gonna be awesome, especially with Sweet Lou on the bench. Yeah, awesome.

He was also excited because Soto almost ran him over on Opening Day when he was running through the concourse.
