[Flames24Rulz]

i thought the bullpen was this team's strength?

 

Not the pen's fault that the defense gave the Braves 4 outs.

Compare how many runs the bullpen gave up compared to the first three innings.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

The back end of the bullpen has been terrific.

 

The front end? ...not as much so.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ray in to pitch for Atlanta

[Sammy Sofa]

As topsy-turvy as this day has been, the big dogs are actually up now for the Cubs. Well, minus Hairy Jerry.

[Derwood]

The front end? ...not as much so.

 

Rusch has quite a front end too...I think the meal per diem is a tad high

The Braves must be shaking in their spikes with Hairston then Neifi up to bat.

who said rusch and novoa would be strong out of the pen?

 

the supposed pen strength was eyre, howry and dempster. unfortunately, dempster has sucked recently. few saw that coming tho.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]
