"I love that chopper, man," Theriot said. "That's classic. I've been
waiting for it and expecting it. It's classic. I'd like to think if I
would've hit left-handed, I'd hit like that. It was cool to watch him
go out there and play."
-- Cubs shortstop Ryan Theriot in reference to Kosuke Fukudome's base hit that he chopped over the third base bag in the third inning.
If our #3 hitter starts hitting like Ryan Theriot we could be in trouble.

Didn't Theriot go 3-3? I'd take a #3 hitter going 3-3. Lee hit like Theriot in the first half last year and things turned out alright.
Sorry I gotta stand up for my fantasy outfielder.
Come on, Theriot hit .267 last year with three homers.
