Randy Wells:  Taking care of business.  He's been doing it all season.  The difference is winnability.  Yeah, I just made that up.

For those of you who watched those first few games Wells started this season, you know what I mean when I say he has really been pitching quite amazingly with not much offensive help.  His last few starts have really began to show that he is capable of winning games; he just needs Derrick Lee two-run homers and Fukudome doubles to make it happen.  Is that too much to ask for?

Cubs have amazing pitching; Hit the Ball.

Now I know I said Ramirez was needed for that offensive boost.  What really surprised me is that Ramirez coming back actually makes the Braves walk Milton Bradley to load the bases up just so they can pitch to Ramirez...?  When I saw that, I almost soiled myself thinking that may be the dumbest move I've ever seen.  Turned out Ramirez goes 0-4... Who knew?

Give Aramis time.  He'll be back in there hitting three-run home runs come the All-Star break.  For now, let's just concentrate on winning ball games.  Especially with the Cards series at Wrigley coming up... FOCUS CUBS..FOCUS.
