Things are always goofy with the Cubs and if this game winds up being the turning point of the season nothing would be goofier than a season turning on a Theriot grand slam.

I wonder if Neal Cotts may have turned the corner today.

Also, I believe that was David Patton’s first scoreless appearance (including his first MLB win).

Lots of positives about today’s game.

I do wonder what’s going on with Rich Harden. Hopefully, he can work it out.

Hey, it's a new century!

by cowsarecool220 on May 1, 2009 5:00 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think

that Cotts, Patton and Marmol all had very positive outings despite the 5 walks between the three of them. I was certainly encouraged by Marmol finding the strikezone again.

that’s a HUGE weight off the pen. Because Lou’s just gonna keep throwing him out there anyway.
