Hopefully Smardz' uncharacteristically bad outing is just his way of venting about their trading away his buddy.

Just can't be talking that type of secondary lead in any situation, let alone down late in the game.

 

Strop's stuff sure looks nice. Ditto for Henry Rodriguez earlier today. It would be nice if the Cubs have found themselves some nice, hard throwing arms midseason between those two (and Blake Parker).
