The Day in Review

The Cubs win the Cubs win! Granted I wish it would have been 11-to-1 instead of 14-9, but I'll take a three-homer night from Soriano anytime. I had to change my whole outfit in order to wear his jersey as an homage...

Injury News:

• Ben Sheets isn't hurt. I'll explain why later.
• Joe Crede will be out the rest of the year. It's likely Fields will see regular time at third, so play him in deep leagues. That said, if Crede was your third basemen, you probably aren't paying attention anymore.

Notable Performances:

• Jack Cust had two homers and is quietly having a decent season (27 homers). 
  
• Brandon Webb is stuck at nineteen wins, and his loss today allowed the Dodgers to take over the West. Billingsley was the winner of the decision, and struck out nine over 6.1 innings.
• Ben Sheets threw a complete-game shutout of the Padres, while Roy Oswalt threw a one-hitter against the Rockies in Colorado.
• Shaun Marcum struck out seven Rays and gave up zero runs. If he is unowned, pick him up because his schedule gets easier.
• Elijah Dukes had two homers as the Nats beat the Braves.

That's what you need to know about the day.
