Karma Hits Cubs, Soriano Injured in 7-2 Win; Cardinals Continue to Roll

CHICAGO, IL -- I'm not going to say I was glad to see Alfonso Soriano get injured last night, but I kind of felt a sly grin cross my face when the Cubs slugger bite the dust only a day after Cubs fans were cocking off about Albert Pujols going down for three weeks with a strained calf.

(Karma's a b!tch, isn't it Cubs?)

So while the Cubs fans were shaking their hineys in the general direction of I-55 South, karma was flying into town on an express train from Atlanta.

Yes, the Cubs won their 10-in-a-row at the Friendly Confines and hold the best record in baseball, but something happened just a bit south that couldn't have made them feel comfortable at all.

LOOPER... BRADEN LOOPER



Looking like he did as an undergrad at Wichita State, Braden Looper fired a three-hit shutout, his first of his Major League career, as the St. Louis Cardinals had the cannons thundering at Great American Ballpark for a 10-0 rout of the Cincinnati Reds.
