closers in closer situations against cubs hitters
in 2008 have surrendered 17 earned runs in 28 2/3 innings
that pencils out to a 5.34 earned run average
howry’s current ERA is 5.43, for a point of reference

If Howry gets through the 6th, Lou might just throw him back out for the 7th and THAT’s where the game’ll end!

I know this is off topic—kind of—but just who is it that owns the My Little Pony backpack in the bullpen? Is this the traditional rookie hazing tool, or does Woody just have a sick sense of fashion and/or humor?

It's back (or a replacement)
After Piggy and Hart got sent down, someone (probably Wood) decided to ditch it since none of the relievers were rookies. When Shark came up, it came back.

I grabbed the Rally Bat
That worked last night, and the FIRST PITCH after grabbing my rally bat, the Cubs got a single to load ‘em… I’ve still got it, so expect another hit… here we go DLEE!

Not with two outs.
He would have had to put Reed into the game anyway, then would have burned Lee and not had anyone to hit for Ward against a LHP.

For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”
