I hadn't actually seen the note that Blago wrote to manager Lou Piniella until just now, but it still just makes the Blago situation become even stranger. He clearly felt he had a lot of sway with everyone who he came into contact with. I actually agree with Blago's assessment of the Cubs lineup and think that Alfonso Soriano could be a major run producer if allowed to stay in the third position for an extended period of time. Although he is a leadoff hitter at heart, just like he adjusted to the outfield, Soriano could play his way into the batting order and drive in more runs for the team. All that being said, I just find it hilarious how Blago thought he was actually better suited to manage the Cubs than the great Piniella. Blago should have been concentrating more on his campaign finances and maybe he wouldn't have needed to ask potential candidates for their support. I see though how Blago's personality could not stand that sort of arrangement and he would never had been satisfied with the power he had in his hand. The publicity and attention he is receiving right now is exactly what he wanted all along and despite most of it being negative he is a person that everyone is talking about.
