Please don't tell me the Gremlin tried to bunt his way on. No, it was just a chopper that didn't go anywhere. I say bunt when actually bunt the ball.

I think Baker said on the pregame show that he intended to play Hairston instead of Patterson, but Hairston wasn't available. Not entirely sure about this, as I came in in the middle of the discussion.

No, he's stationed down in Augusta, GA. Had some stuff going on this week at work, and couldn't get away.

Well, I just got back from the game a little bit ago. Saw one hell of a game, and had a pretty nice party afterward.

After Tuesday night's game I thought about mentioning that Tuesday was the first time since 10 Aug (9th time this season) that the CUBS had used 6 pitchers in the game. So what happens ? Last night the CUBS used 8 pitchers in the game. First time since Fri 08 April (CUBS home opener vs. Milwaukee), and second time this year. On one other occaision in April, the CUBS used 7 pitchers in a game.

Some interesting notes on last night's game....... CUBS drew 6 walks in the game..... first time since Tue 23 Aug vs. Atlanta. CUBS' leadoff man (Hairston) got on base 5 times (1 hit, 4 BBs), but never scored. CUBS did not hit a double in the game...... first time since last Friday vs. S.F. (only the 21st time in 145 games this season) CUBS did hit a triple (Murton) in the game (19th time in 145 games this season) CUBS saw 4.16 P/PA in last night's game. Fourth time in the last 19 games that they've exceeded 4.1. Season average is 3.62 CUBS did not make any double switches in last nights game.... all player substitutions were in the pitcher's spot. This may have never happened before :wink:

If you look closely at the schedule, the only time the CUBS ended a road trip with a night game (Sun 24 July @ St. Louis) they began the home stand the next day with a night game. The only 2 times this year when the CUBS begin a homestand with a day game following a road game the previous day, were after 2 day games in Milwaukee.

Tomorrow's game is a night game, too !! Four in a row at Wrigley is a first !!

Worthless stats of the day for Monday...... CUBS are 7-11 on Mondays CUBS are 5-7 vs. Cincinnati CUBS are 35-32 at night. CUBS are 33-36 at home. CUBS are 22-23 in games that open a series CUBS are 3-7 in games openning a homestand CUBS are 39-31 when they've won the previous game.... 30-41 after a loss CUBS are 11-9 when they've won their previous 2 games CUBS are 18-30 when the temperature is in the 70's CUBS are 21-18 in one run games, 12-13 in two run games. CUBS are 33-16 when they hit at least 2 HRs, 37-57 when they don't CUBS are 57-26 when they score 4 runs or more, 14-46 when they don't CUBS are 54-10 when they give up 3 runs or less, 17-62 when they don't CUBS are 14-16 when Maddux starts Maddux is 16 of 30 in quality starts Maddux's ERA pitching to Barrett is 4.62.... pitching to Blanco 3.40 CUBS score 4.47 R/G overall.... 4.87 R/G when Maddux pitches CUBS hit 1.22 HR/G overall.... 1.30 HR/G when Maddux pitches CUBS' offensive support of Maddux..... 04/04 - 09/11 AB R H 2b 3b HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS CUBS w/Maddux 1080 146 313 68 3 39 504 137 85 164 0.290 0.347 0.467 0.813 CUBS overall 4946 639 1350 294 22 175 2213 613 373 800 0.273 0.327 0.447 0.775 Maddux's last five starts.....
