Aaron Miles is a switch hitter? Who knew?

 

I didn't even know he could hit from one side.

[RyCubsFan]

so... I'm not sure which to think... that I'm glad we can expect some production at the bottom of the order... or that I'm upset they're at the bottom of the order instead of the ever present Perez...

 

If Ronny and Murton continue to produce effectively over the next month, I can't see how Dusty will keep them at the bottom of the order.

 

Cedeno needs to work on his double clutching.

 

 

I wouldn't call the throw on Miles a double clutch. He realized he had a lot of time, so he relaxed in order to make a good throw.

 

But you're right, he double clutched earlier in the game.

[Jazz]

That was a very dead bat that JJ has, I wonder what its made out of, Ive never seen a bat that dead.

 

fixed ;)

[Chris]

Might have to write about how that run was set up by a nice, patient, smart plate appearance by Murton. Excellent.

 

You are the man!

Maddux is very efficient this afternoon.

Ronny can double clutch with the best of em.

 

Nice inning for Maddux.

Murton should be hitting 5th.

If you do, be sure to read it to Dusty tomorrow.

[RyCubsFan]

Greg looks good today. His control is spot on. Very good movement.

[KatJ]

How poorly did Encarnacion play that ball?

 

Probably better than Agon did.

 

Juan may be a butcher, but he's a butcher with a WS ring.

THE BEST SECOND BASEMAN EVAR!11!1!!ONE!1

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Neifi saves us!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Perez blooped a single to center field

[Andy]

Nice ducksnort, Neifi. Take another one out, Derrek!

[USSoccer]

Neifi with a seeing eye popup single.

[Rob]

Neifi'll be starting tomorrow...

[KatJ]

Like I said Wednesday, a lot of you may think he's overpaid and past his prime, but when the chips are down (or, we are missing chips, in the case of the rotation) Maddux will deliver the results.
