Well, if she's not with Galvan...

Then who is she with? Could it be a kidnapper from the Evil BCB?

She said she

was going to watch the game on TV.

the ERA of closers vs. the 2008 cubs is

at 17 earned runs in 28 2/3 innings

5.34

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

by tim815 on Aug 16, 2008 8:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

2 outs

so far so good

The problem is...

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

by hmlee on Aug 16, 2008 8:07 PM CDT   0 recs

Pitcher up 2nd...

I’m sure he wants Howry to finish this inning, then he will bat for him.

OT

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?

i saw the pink back pack in DC with the Mets and Nats

I wish it were winter so we could freeze it into ice blocks and skate on it and melt it in the spring time and drink it!

Thanks all

For the info. I kinda figured it was something like that, just looking for confirmation. Thanks again.
