Cubs Split Doubleheader

Cubs
I hand an oppurtunity to watch the first inning of the first game today, which ended up being the worst of the day for the Cubs. Fortunately, Prior was on fire in the second game and the Cubs split the doubleheader. The worst part of the games today was Neifi Perez was actually in the lineup for both games. It was made even worse when he went 6-9 raising his average to .412. Now, I would like to see Dusty ride this out. The guy deserves a chance, but as soon as he performs to his regular self, Hairston should see the action every game. That is unless he stinks it up and goes Neifi on us and then they're really crappy at second base. We'll just have to see. Always a good Pittsburgh series in there to cheer me up, like this weekend. Good story that the lifetime Cub fan, the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, Michael O. Leavitt was visiting the Cubs today, pushing organ donation. If they wanted an organ donation person, they could have come up to Milwaukee and MU for Trey Schwab, but they didn't. Anyway, this guy is a lifetime Cub fan, but has never been to Wrigley Field. It's kind of ridiculous, seeing that this guy has probably been in politics all of his life and has had many oppurtunities to visit wherever. He could have called up the Cubs and got tickets whenever he wanted, but he didn't. I take offense to his naming himself a "life long Cubs fan." Come to look it up and the dude's from Utah. I'm sure many people from Utah are Cub fans, but this guy, I'm not so sure.

MU News
Turns out Mortensen is coming next year. I don't know how this will affect the team, except maybe clog the 2-3 position even more. I hope he does well though. MU has not done well with recruits outside of the Midwest lately (see Bradley and Christian). And I hope a Mormon can fit in on our campus and our basketball team. I really am excited to see the recruits next year and see how the first Big East season goes.
