And this isn't a still photo, either.

It’s real time of him pitching.

Yep, it’s a video. Just watch it a while, he eventually throws a slider, low and away.

Ha you beat me to it

I feel like I never missed one of his starts as a Cub. Probably just seemed that way.

Probably cause the games he starts

are still going on.

Anyone remember the Air Show game?

Fighter jets kept buzzing Wrigley and every single time, Trachsel stepped off the mound and waited until it was completely silent. If there was even the hint of a jet engine sound, he stepped off the mound again.

by northsider on Jan 29, 2009 8:58 PM CST reply actions  

I remember that game.

At one point, he ducked.
