With the win last night, the Cubs became the first team to reach 70 wins and John Lackey acquired his 174th tooth. Congratulations, John. Please don't hurt me. Anyways, 8 in a row! The Angels will be sending up former Cubs great, Ricky Nolasco. You might remember Ricky as the hidden centerpiece of the Juan Pierre trade! Thanks for that, Ricky. Juan really showed up for us that year and led the league in hits (AND NOTHING ELSE YOU HEAR ME) as he's want to do! Ricky Nolasco's stats this year look like this:
W L ERA G GS IP BB SO ERA+ FIP WHIP H9 HR9 BB9 SO9 SO/W
4 8 5.23 22 22 130.2 29 97 79 4.47 1.332 10.0 1.4 2.0 6.7 3.34
He's almost as bad as Jered Weaver. Almost. Let's see if the Cubs can get him there. The Cubs are sending up Jason Hammel who still has yet to turn into a pumpkin. Keep eating them tater chips, Jason! http://i.imgur.com/RNBvs11.jpg Given this recent string of victories the Cubs are pulling out, I'm trying not to get to confident about my abilities to clearly be the driving force behind this winning streak, but horsefeathers it. I'm giving in to dark side
Keep winning, Cubs.
