You all remember Hector Villanueva, right?
3 years with the Cubs?
22 homers, a stolen base, probably threw out a couple guys 'cause he played catcher?
He was an AWESOME Cub as I recall, and defined a certain body type you wouldn't ordinarily associate with a professional athlete.
Like lots of Cubs, Hector was no stranger to prolonged periods of time where his bat would miss the ball by oh, a foot or so.
So what Hector did, he grew a mustache to change his luck.
"I'm not shaving this thing until I get out of this slump." he said.
Consequently, he had a mustache for his entire career.
I would imagine that if I could ask Hector what the Cubs should do, he'd give the same advice.
Grow a 'stache.
Sounds like a good idea to me, Cubs.
You too, Lou.
Well, Speedy Reedy gave me some hope yesterday with the 2 run homer.
They said on the radio that he should be in the line-up alot in the near future, as the Cubs will face a bunch of left handers.
And...not giving up on the Hawks just yet.
Lets see what happens in Detroit.
Lastly, take a minute to think about the American Military today.
In fact, stop right now and do it, and for sure when they play the National Anthem at the beginning of tonight's game.
My dad spent 20 awesome years in the Air Force, and I could not be prouder of him.
You probably know somebody in the service too - if you see them today, shake their hand.
Happy Memorial Day.
