ah, forgot to mention the Chubs: Sosa strikes out too much and isn't as much of a threat without the cork (or the 'roids, for that matter). Outside of him and Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez, the offense packs nowhere near the amount of punch the Cards or the Yanks do. And the rotation IS only average without Prior. Last time I checked, they were 6-5, in 3rd place in the Central. Wood and Zambrano have been good so far (Wood got a bad game today, w/ the home plate ump blowing those calls w/ Adam Dunn). Chubs fans better hope that Mr. Prior is back soon so they don't have to rely on Sergio Mitre much longer.

The Cubs still have a great staff. The only thing that is holding it down is the terrible starter replacing Prior.

And you're statement about Sosa: Dude, that's a freaking cheap shot. Lay off.
