Didn't he have control probs at times? I do know he only had one pitch, which is why Rizzo is wearing his old number now. That said, Farnsie was a good man to have in a basebrawl.

My oh my how many times did Pat Hughes use an iteration of "lose" in one sentence, signing off!

You just want a Ron who goes, "NooOOOO!!!" whenever the Cubs blow it. ;-)

It's like watching Charlie Brown's baseball team.

Called it. JINX!

Oooh, commercial for Mr. & Mrs. T's Bloody Mary Mix. Good stuff, and I'm not a big Bloody Mary fan.
