Fukudome!

What did the Cubbies expect when they signed quiet right fielder Kosuke Fukudome (KOSE-kay foo-koo-DOH-may) to a $48 million contract this off season?

How about a .462 batting average, good for third in the National League?

Or a three-run, ninth inning, game-tying home run?

A go-ahead, two-run single?

A drag bunt hit to start a three-run rally?

A running, spearing catch in right field to prevent a run?

The fans chanting "Fu-ku-do-me" as he comes to the plate with the game on the line?

Not a bad first week!
