The Chicago Cubs are one of the smartest franchises in Major League Baseball history from the signing of big time talent like Alfonso Soriano to the acquisitions of such great players as Nomar Garciaparra and Rich Harden. These players are among just the few superstars that have propelled the Chicago Cubs to the greatness they are today. The Cubs just keep on improving their championship team with their absolute genius offseason moves by acquiring Xavier Nady.

The Cubs have found the missing link to their playoffs woes with Xavier Nady. Nady is looking like a key addition in right field for this team from Chicago since they did not take back the sure fire hall of famer in Milton Bradley. The other teams in the MLB passed on Nady, probably from fear that his two Tommy John surgeries will fail, but not the Cubs.

“(Xavier) Nady is a rare player,” Cubs General Manager Jim Hendry exclaims “Tommy John surgery is just a minor blip in a amazing career, like I always say, if it doesn’t kill you it only makes you stronger.”

That is a good motto; I believe they first practiced it with former Cubs legend Mark Prior. The Cubs know what they are doing with the Xavier Nady signing and will show us in the World Series or when hell freezes over, whichever comes first.

It’s like one Cubby after another going on the DL.  Next up is Giovanni Soto, the under-performing catcher.  This guy must still be dreaming of weed or something because he is just horrible this year.  And you know what they do when you are horrible, they find a spot on the “DL” for you.  Soto is not hurt – he just sucks.  That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
