Where's the love for Mike Tauchman, the current Cub leadoff hitter and CF and Bradley Alum? Did I miss it, or are you all Cardinal fans?

Where's the love for Mike Tauchman, the current Cub leadoff hitter and CF and Bradley Alum? Did I miss it, or are you all Cardinal fans?

He's off to a nice start with the Cubs. Hopefully he can regain the form he had in his first season with the Yankees.

Hope Tauchman can keep hitting. He is 32 years old now, and I think this might be his last shot at staying on a big league roster. He's had brief stints with the Colorado Rockies, who drafted him in the 10th round in 2013, the NY Yankees, and the SF Giants.

To paraphrase an old saying, "My four favorite teams are the Bradley Braves, the Chicago Cubs, and whoever is playing Illinois State and the St. Louis Cardinals!
