Another obscure sports question tonight, I really do love these things: Which town won the Little League Softball title for the state of Massachusetts in 2010? As tough as this one sounds it was pretty easy for me. Thanks to nearly 2 years of doing the ChaCha, I am pretty familiar with where to find things on the Little League website. The Swampscott Little League won the Massachusetts Little League Softball title in 2010. They are from the town of Swampscott, Mass. and they went 2-2 in the 2010 Little League Softball East Regional. They beat Maine (boooo!) and Rhode Island, but lost to Vermont and Connecticut.

I am a total baseball and statistics geek so even the toughest baseball questions don't phase me. I got one of those tonight: What is the Cubs projected 2011 opening day lineup? Luckily, I knew right where to find a depth chart for the Cubs online but it still left me with a lot of typing to do, and some of those names aren't that easy to spell.

Left Field - Alfonso Soriano
Center Field - Marlon Byrd
Right Field - Kosuke Fukudome
Third Base - Aramis Ramirez
Short Stop - Starlin Castro
Second Base - Blake De Witt
First Base - Carlos Pena
Catcher - Geovany Soto
Pitcher - Ryan Dempster

As a die hard Boston Red Sox fan I was very happy to see the Cubs pick up Carlos Pena and Matt Garza. I like Pena but he seems to hit about .500 against the BoSox who are his hometown team. He grew up in Mass. and attended Northeastern. I dislike watching Garza because he spits between every pitch, sometimes multiple times. It is monumentally disgusting to watch him pitch a game.
