I Stepped Out For A Minute, Did I Miss Anything?

You also have a case of the "My Mom feeds me too many Happy Meals" Syndrome.

While I busy freaking out about Mini Burgers and helping the GF paint her house, I missed my Cubbies over the weekend. Sounds like it was pretty exciting! Seems like everyone is getting in on the offense, including our pitchers. But it was the back-to-back days with homers by The Riot and D-Lee's Grand Salami that has him finally off everyone's shit list that are making the news. Which is probably good news for Bradley, who had the worst opening month as a Cub's new superstar since, well since last year with the Fonz. Don't worry Milty, we still believe in you. And look what Hoppy McHopalot did with the rest of the season last year.

Paddy cake, paddy cake, baker's man, bake me a cake just as fast as you can.

But the big news of late is about Big Z. Why do you try so hard, man? Honestly, I wish all the Cubs blogs would stop freaking out about Lou's decision to keep pinch hitting Z somehow led to him straining his hammy. The list of injuries keeps piling on, which when I heard the news this morning via Sportscenter via Mike and Mike I immediately did what any good Cubs fan would do and "Freak out, Man!"

Mr. Miles is handing out free prostate exams. Please report to second base.

But I'm calm again, and actually happy to be back at work. Let me tell you, if I never see paint again it will be too soon. And the Cubs are still undefeated...in May. Tonight the SF Dusty Lovers will come into town. Hopefully they will look like the bunch of fish out of water that were the Marlins. (God, I really need to work on my name-calling and puns, look's like someone has a case of the Mondays.)

Back to Z. In the "I had a cup of coffee" department, Bobby Scales has been called up till Friday to add some more power to the bench. Bobby has been burning up the minors, batting .303 (23-for-76) with five doubles, a triple, three homers and 10 RBI in 21 games for Iowa this season, his second in the Cubs organization. He owns a .372 on-base percentage and is 10-for-26 (.385) against left-handed pitching while appearing at first base, second base and third base (thanks Cubs.com).

He could have also gone with "Scales of Justice"

But what you probably don't know is that with the addition of Scales, the number of Cub's bloggers doubles! Of course we all know Reed has his blog in which he makes sure to make fun of Little Babe Ruth in every post, but Bobby also blogs on the MLBlogs Network under the title, "30 is the new 20." Although he has only 2 posts to date, I'm sure we will be able to read more about his big debut shortly.

Go Cubs!
