Numbers Game

Aramis Ramirez has reached base in all 20 games so far this season, including 13 walks (gasp!). His carrer high for walks is 50 – for an entire season.
Kosuke Fukudome leads the league in # of pitches seen per at bat with 4.72. He is batting .357 with an on-base of .477. His style is having an obvious affect on his teammates – they all seem to be more selective at the plate which is paying off huge in getting guys on base and (obviously) scoring.
Derrek Lee, Ramirez, Soto, Blanco, Theriot, Fukudome, Reed Johnson & DeRosa are each hitting better than .320 over their last seven games.
The Cubs team franchise has 9,999 career wins as of today. The Chicago National League Ballclub has a lifetime record of 9,999 wins, 9,465 losses for a winning percentage of .514. They have won 16 National League Pennants, and 2 World Series championships (1907 & 1908)
