Cubs speedster Tony Campana

-I guess I must be getting better about what I eat. It was a dollar dog night, and I resisted the hot dog temptation.
-I am surprised I was unfamiliar with Campana prior to this weekend - The Cubs had such a rought 2011 that they must not have made it onto my radar. He appears to use the LH slap hitter technigue, we have seen from Ichiro a lot. Getting several steps down the line while swinging.
- Phils got 2 bunt singles (Jimmy Rollins, Pete Orr) while they were able to retire Campana on his bunt attempt.
- Jim Thome didn't play and the Phils have several players that may be coming off the DL soon. He hasn't looked good at the plate and I am wondering if he gets involved in another Phils Home game.
- Papelbon's save was his 8th in as many attempts.

Campana is a great story. Beat cancer as a kid and is now a fan favorite. I hope the Cubs give him a shot to play everyday. He could easily swipe 70+ bags in a full season.
