CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!

 

Rich Hill climbing up to .500 (4-6 (4-1 since call-up))

Wow, another real nice outting by Hill. He's done a marvelous job the last few times out. And I have no problem admitting that I was wrong about him.

 

Don't celebrate too early... you'll jinx him. Plus he's a Cub, so he has plenty of time to go in the toilet.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nice k, Eyre.

 

Cubs...win? What th-?!?

 

CUBS WIN!

I thought he lost on the 11th and the 21st.

The Neifi-esc Pedro Feliz (lifetime .295 OBP, .443 SLG) comes thru for the Giants, why is it always the average to below average Joes who tear up the Cubs?

[Sammy Sofa]

Good showing by Murton and Theriot today, too. The kids are alright!

Theriot not trying to not smile as big as possible as he rounded the bases on his HR was downright, well, adorable.

And the person in the stands goes while for this meaningless game.

 

This doesn't help the Cubs chances at catching the Royals. But to see Rich "Benny" Hill throw a heck of a game, Matt "Red Skelton" Murton continue to show he can be an offensive asset to a team, and Ryan "Quiet Riot" Theriot showing he IS the next David Eckstein, maybe the Cubs future ain't as bleak as first thought. But then again.......

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Rich. Hill.
