So you start Rusch? I'd rather see Neifi pitch than Rusch! :cry: Agreed, why not just throw a non-pitcher out there. The results would still be the same, but it would be far more entertaining.
Still up 2-1 heading into the bottom of 7th. Novoa coming into pitch. You wouldn't think it, but the Cubs have 8 hits over the last 3 innings. Addendum: 3 pages! My work here is done. Out the door I am, good night. The Cubs may still lose this yet.
See what happens when Fred's not around? 2-1 Cubs heading into the bottom of the 6th. Should be the last inning for Marmol. Other than the walks (3 in the first inning, 5 total), he's looked good.
Don't worry, he'll be a Cub in a couple of weeks. He's the exact type of veteran presence this team so desperately needs. He and Glendon should make quite a pair... http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/n/naturaldisasters/03.jpg
Good thing Kerry pitched through an injury and delayed having surgery so he could help us "contend" for the play-offs late last year. Oh well, it's just a rotator cuff, it's not like it is his livelihood or anything.
Wait, there's a game going on? I've been listening to Pat and Ron talk about Leave it to Beaver for the last half inning or so. Oh wait, 2 runners on, they are back to talking about the game.
swinging bunt? real bunt? was it Dusty's call or did Jacque decide that himself? I'm not watching it, but Santo was speculating that Jacque might have done that on his own. Who knows with this team.
To be fair, Jacque doesn't hit lefties. But when you've got a guy who is struggling with his control, you are basically doing him a favor by giving him a free out.
