so apparently..
today is one of THOSE games that you have at least a couple during the season…
"Go Cubs Go"
Pfeh. We were down to the rockies 9-0
This is nothing we can’t overcome. not after yesterday.
Not much to say
Might as well work a little bit if there’s not much emotional attachment.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

there’s a clause in his contract that says you can’t use the words “Theriot” and “Slugger” together with out the words “is not a” between them.

Well, I'll be honest enough to admit...

I do know that it’s widely accepted that Ronny Cedeno is a far superior defensive shortstop than Ryan Theriot. And just citing a couple cherry-picked stats and showing me the mlb.com stats page really does very little to support argument.

Try looking up Forsch
Not sure whether it was Bob or Ken, but one of them only went 1IP in their next start after a no-no
"I owe [Dunston] a lot. Nobody would know how good I was at digging balls out of the dirt if it wasn't for him..." -Mark Grace
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
It was Bob Forsch!!!
Clutch: You were right! Bob Forsch pitched a no-no on 4/16/78. His next start he lasted 1+ innings and gave up 7 runs on 7 hits! Here is the box score link:
http://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=197804231PIT
So this may not be the definitive answer, but it let’s Carlos off the hook. Maybe this is another example of a “sophomore slump”!
BTW: Did you remember this or find it somewhere???
Thanks!!!
