He said he would only start Castro if he was under .300 since he's started something like 14 out of the last 15. What were Len and Bob talking about in terms of favoring a veteran and a rookie having to "earn his stripes", then? I don't know. I've got Pat & Dave on.

I agree, it was that tantalizing morsel that the Cubs give us. It is incredible that this game is not on WGN, it is traditional for the last game to be on WGN!! It is traditional for ALL the games to be on WGN, no??
