Forgot to mention that I did to to the Cubs game yesterday, and although Mark Prior was sensational, the curse of Ilk prevailed and the Cubs lost again. I did get to see a rather dubious honor:

Reds LF Adam Dunn set the major league record for SO in a season.

The new top 10--

STRIKEOUTS YEAR SO
1 Adam Dunn 2004 191
2 Bobby Bonds 1970 189
3 Jose Hernandez 2002 188
T4 Preston Wilson 2000 187
T4 Bobby Bonds 1969 187
6 Rob Deer 1987 186
T7 Jose Hernandez 2001 185
T7 Pete Incaviglia 1986 185
T7 Jim Thome 2001 185
T10 Cecil Fielder 1990 182
T10 Jim Thome 2003 182

And now, on to my "Locks Of The Week..."

Once again, I was a scratch last weekend, 1-1, pushing me to 3-3 on the season. After this week, I am going to start picking 3 games FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY:

Indianapolis -4 Jacksonville

Pittsburgh -4 1/2 Cincinnatti

Looks like Jack! has got a new honey. Good for him. Credit Wonkette,
