This is a key inning for Rich. Should be tough with the 3-4-5 hitters up.

Rich at 92.

I love it when hitters dont even pretend like they're slightly interested in POSSIBLY taking a swing.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jones singles up the middle.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jones steals second.

Barrett doesn't even make a throw on Andruw Jones. ARGH

[Roast]

Gah. SB jones. Barrett didn't even have a chance.

Hell, Jones was half way to third by the time Hill released the ball.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Barrett doesn't even make a throw on Andruw Jones. ARGH

 

That one was stolen off the pitcher. By the time Barrett had the ball, Jones was a already at second.

 

Frenchy flies out. 2 down. Jones to 3rd.

[inari]

Nice job pitching out of trouble, Richy Rich.

For anyone that didn't see thisESPN article, there's some interesting notes about us:

 

People in Chicago would be amazed how many scouts following the NL Central report that they either think (a) the Cubs are a better, more talented team than the Brewers, or (b) the Cubs will end up winning the division. "I know they've played spotty, to say the least," one scout said of the Cubs. "But I think they have a chance to rip off about 14 [wins] out of 15 one of these days." The scout's theory is that the Cubs have played tight, in great part because they haven't adjusted to Lou Piniella's personality and he hasn't adjusted to them. "I think they're at a real turning point," the scout said. "If Lou can use that [suspension] time to watch from afar for a few days and then come back and make some adjustments, I think that team could take off. And knowing Lou, I think he can and he will."

 

That and other interesting nuggets about the Cubs, Lou, and Big Z can be found in the article.
