I heard today on 670 the Score that the Cubs signed Shingo Takatsu to a minor-league deal. Now as a Sox fan, seeing Shingo Takatsu pitch in the 9th was almost as painful as watching the Bulls in the early 2000s or listening to American Idol tryouts. He went from Mr. Zero, as he was called, to Mr. 10. Now i know i am a sox fan commenting on a cub, but i just wanna tell cub fans everywhere to not expect Shingo to suddenly become lights out like he was for 1 month in 2004. Any player from little league on can tell he only had 2 pitches, a fastball and a sllloooow ball, you cant even call it a change up. And at a park like Wrigley, all you gotta do is wait back on that pitch and windows will be broken on Waveland Av. On the south side, if Shingo ever pitches this year in the crosstown series (the most underrated rivarly in baseball, best one only to Yankees-Red Sox), he will be the most booed person since Sammy Sosa. So go ahead Cub fans, ITS SHINGO TIME.

With Andrew Bynum going down, the Lakers seem like a good fit for Big Ben. No, i am not suggesting a Kobe deal for a combination of their upcoming FAs (Turiaf, Vujacic, Ariza, Brown, and Mihm). I know it isint much but what are you going to get for this guy? The Lakers are contenders this year so they would take it. Comments please
