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

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)

EVERYBODY SING!

“Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Cause it’s root, root, root for the CUBBIES,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”

LET’S

GET

SOME

RUNS!
