Sosagate, Stonegate, Chipgate....

So many articles in the news about all this breuhaha surrounding the team. Go ahead and read the articles and the punditry to get a flavor of what's surrounding our favorite team. And then remember this:

None of this has anything to do with what we want to see, which is winning baseball.

The entire focus of this team has been lost. Jim Hendry needs to get the focus, both internal and external, back on the field. How he does that is anyone's guess. I'll guess that it's done with some big free agent signings. Nomar Garciaparra is up first. He has exclusive negotiating with the Cubs until November 12th. If the Cubs sign him, it will be a 1 year deal and be done in the next 11 days.

After that, all eyes on Carlos Beltran.
