DeHomer!
Congratulations to our third baseman on his first career homer! :)
Oh, and a hearty “Way to go!” to the rest of our power-hitting lineup, who have a trio of homers so far in tonight’s game. :)

Cubs need a CF, eh?
Rumor has it the Cubs are looking for a CF and are taking a serious look at Coco Crisp.
The Cubs were reportedly looking to resign Juan Pierre before the Dodgers picked him up. (They gave up a lot to get him in the first place.)
From a Cubs news item on February 2007:
Long gone
CF Juan Pierre: He led the NL in hits with 204 and swiped 58 bases, third-best in franchise history. But Pierre left via free agency because he wanted a long-term deal, and the Cubs didn’t want to block prospect Pie. They’ll miss Pierre’s expertise — he was a good mentor for young players — and his energy.
Think they’d still be interested? If they’re that interested in Crisp, why not Pierre if we subsidized the salary?

Small sample size warning.
Andruw and his homers
It’s funny — despite Andruw Jones’s “down year”, his 26 homers are still better than anybody else on the 2007 Dodgers.
And with today’s news that the Braves are cutting ties with him, the Dodgers Hot Stove has already begun to shine. :)
