Hey Cubbies...let's have a bit of fun beating up on the "boo-hoo" Crew! I hope Alfonse stares and points at his next HR...I hope he mambos before his next catch...and I hope Big Z takes hand shaking to a whole new level and then does the waltz back to the dug out after striking out the side.

Especially since the steal is usually more on the pitcher than the catcher. Although I don't know off the top of my head how good Z is at keeping runners on base, how quick his motion to home is, etc. Anyways, I am not condoning the home run gazing, I think it's pretty bush league. Braun is obviously a slugger, and is paid to do just that. I don't sit here and gaze at my computer screen after finishing an awesome report. OOOH THAT REPORT IS HOT Jose: Duley noted.

Go back to the dugout and get a hit the next inning - steal second - and score a run. Watching a homer go over the fence and doing a rain dance after a strike out are both equally stupid.
