Probably still tired, or Lou's having faith in Blanco
"Yes it's true. Everyone knows that I've pitched. I make sure of that. I have nine different pitches, all of which are awesome. I have a 0.00 ERA, got one out, throwing all knuckleballs. I don't remember who I faced -- some dude from Ole Miss." - Ryan Theriot
Its Blanco's Birthday
Why under-cut a guy on his birthday? AND… the Cubs only have 1 catcher on the bench, so if Soto goes in and gets hurt, the Cubs are screwed.

I bet it is hard for any pitcher to overcome
pitching against their former team in a high stress situation, let alone to be a pitcher that didn’t want to leave his former team. That would suck all around.

They were trying to do a double switch
and I guess Shark tried coming on to the field to early. Must be some kind of a rule about that. he just told him to wait a bit.
if shark comes in for gaudin
before reed is announced in the 9 spot
shark leads off
'cuz if shark gets to the mound
lou can’t double switch

throw is late. howard called out
lee comes up lame
Hot smash to Lee at first, knocked it down and it began squirting away from him towards second base
he grabs it, twists to throw across his body back to first to Shark covering – Howard lumbers down the line and appeared to beat the throw.

I'm still neutral on him.
Those two mistakes don’t surprise me a bit, but I don’t think Lou’s going to pull him from the lineup.
Yes, sir!
wouldn't make too much sense
he fits in the No. 2 hole pretty well, despite some his his deficiencies. But I think every successful team needs a ‘grind it out’ guy like him

I’m no Theriot FAN, but I don’t HATE the guy either. We knew coming into the season that we didn’t have the best shortstop in the league. The guy is batting over .310, and none of us expected him to do that well. Is he a great shortstop? Heck no. But he’s better than what I expected. Every team has weak links.
with who???
