likes to play! NO "off" switch! FIERY!

"This has always been my favorite place to play," Kendall said. "I'm just as excited as can be. This is a good change of scenery for me, being back in the National League. I'm fired up."

Manager Lou Piniella is as fired up as Kendall, because he now has a veteran catcher who plays the game the way he likes—without an "off" switch.

"He's an experienced guy who has played on winning teams and he's a grinder," Piniella said. "He likes to play and he likes to win."

Kendall wound up going 0-for-3 and dropped a throw from Alfonso Soriano that allowed a run to score in the fourth....

Hold up here - I called it. Didn't you see the "change of scenery" in the quote? & who made that particular comment before? That's right. The cricket lover. Eat it!

p.s. I just discovered (sorry if I'm late on this one) that if the first comment is overwritten because of a long post title, you can click on the show original post link, and that will push the comments down so you can see the first one. So bring those long post titles back!

You know, that veteran presence is probably the reason the Cubs won today.

That or the sixteen hits and three Giant errors...
