Maybe he has a set amount of appearances Howry needs to make
and he’s trying to get them out the way. Kinda like how I used to eat peas as a kid.

DeRo's not enjoying this game...
HBP, 2 Ks, and he’s missed at least 3 fat pitches. Probably doesn’t hurt so bad in a 9-1 game.

Bob said the other day before the first game, that the Cubs could leave Milwaukee anywhere from 5 up to three down? I kind of thought being 5 up was unrealistic/unlikely.

It's absolutely hysterical
Gagne had four pitches to plunk Edmonds and he couldn’t. How bad IS the Brewer pen?
The Cubs need to do what they’ve done all year. Shake it off, ignore it, point to the scoreboard and move on.
Champions don’t scrap with losers. Nor do they add any fuel to whatever fire might spark an upstart.

Gagne shows no class
Throws three inside pitches trying to nip Edmonds and then throws behind him. What a connard, vais t’enculer Gagne! Cubs dominate in Wrigley North, Let’s go Cubbies and way to go Jim Edmonds!
