So wait a minute

We’ve been talking about Rich Hill’s back giving him problems. Someone mentioned that it might have been because he’s tall and lanky so due to “physics” when something goes out of whack, it really goes out of whack. Has Johnson had similar problems?

by cubsonWGN4ever on Jul 21, 2008 8:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

back problems?

randy johnson’s back is a mess. serious back surgeries, etc.

but i don’t know if they’ve ever manifested themself in the inablity to throw strikes.

What do we root for?

I think a split and we win all 4 would be the best would go into friday 4 up on the Cards and 5 on the Brews.

Of course if one sweeps the series and we win all 4.

No matter what we win someone loses games on us.
