Hey, can't win them all.
Lets make it interesting.

We cut the lead by a 1/3!
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings. ~Earl Wilson
Holy crap...
THE Bobby Howry gave up a hit?
That, ladies and gentleman, snaps a streak of 35-straight scoreless innings.
Let’s give him a round of applause!
DeRosa: And who is the best and who is the worst card player?
Dempster: I think the best is yourself. [ . . .] I think the worst player is D-Lee. I think he bets every time just to bet.
My one game at Wrigley this year (since 2000, actually)
Was on August 9, the last time that Z faced the Cardinals at Wrigley, same result.
What the Z is going on?
Rumor has it that his grandmother passed away earlier this week

Walk
But only 1 out – looks like were starting early this game.
Current temperature in hell: 43 degrees F - and falling!
Do you think that Lou and TLR are one-upping each other at this point?
Looking at the lineups, it almost seems like they are saying “well, if you can play so and so, I can play so and so”, until you have the rest room attendant stepping into the on-deck circle.
Fun.
Ward DOUBLE
Here we go

Oh well.
Lou pulled him before the big “below .300” milestone could be reached. Even before his 0-for-2 today his OPS+ dropped to 92. If he hadn’t frontloaded all of his offensive production into April of this year I think we have a different shortstop right now. Incredible, innit.
