We can't lose here. Dodgers score and win: we gain a game in the Fecal League. Cubs hold 'em and win: at least, for one solitary moment, an exciting, improbable victory amidst a season of misery.
So much for Pierre never striking out. http://mlb.mlb.com/images/players/mugshot/ph_334393.jpg "Hello, my name is Juan Pierre, my head is three sizes too small for this cap."
Interesting addendum to the KC/Cleveland game, Royals' pitcher Runelvys Hernandez and catcher John Buck got into a fight between innings. We need something like that to liven up this game.
They might be making history in more ways than one tonight. 27 ground outs in a nine inning game, anyone? Edit: JJ's strikeout spoils that scenario, but the Cubs are still in line for a "no outfield outs" game.
Looks like 9 for a second baseman in the NL (AL record is only 5). Andy Leonard Boston 9 errors 06-14-1876 BUT, that was on the old fields. I don't think they even wore gloves back then.
