As the cubs try to win their first series of the year, against Cecil Cooper and the Houston Astros…their prized, speedy Center Fielder Michael Bourn was the first person this year to test Mr. Outfield Assist, Alfonso Soriano this year and I just have to say that the Astros lost on that one.
For the first time in a long time, the Cubbies actually have some strong arms on the corners (Fukudome in right) in the outfield, allows us to forget Juan Pierre… or maybe even the throwing problems of Jacque Jones…so for now enjoy it! as there rumors that Pierre might be on the radar as he has fallen out of favor LA, a little.
Bottom of the 3rd…Gamed tied at 1 apiece!
BTW… I am really liking hating this Bourn dude that plays centerfield for the Astros! He gets to everything!
Why Run on Soriano?
