The Cubs have put in a waiver claim for White Sox OF Scott Podsednik- he of the Texan drawl and beautiful body, you know, one of the only reasons I like the White Sox to begin with - and reports out of Chicago are that a potential deal is being worked on. Scott could be a great stop gap while Soriano is out on the DL- though I do love Matt Murton.

While it's far from certain that Scotty could be roaming the OF at Wrigley, just hearing the news of the possibility of that is enough to make me a happy girl for the rest of the day.*

* Note to Josh Beckett: you know what would make me an EXTRAORDINARILY happy girl? You getting win #15. Make it happen.
