he’s ok. Although he let a grounder through right under his mitt today.
I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

before we get a bullpen. Marmol throws every stinkin night. his arm is gonna fall off!!
I sit at home after the Cubs lose and wanna pound sand but I know I live in a state without that kinda land. I know in my heart Sori isn't a guess hitting hack and that Dero will never be back. Pitching is King, some do say and hopefully Aaron Miles doesn't play in a Cub uniform another day. By October this I know, to the playoffs we are for sure to go. Go Cubbies!!
And thats why Gooze shouldn't be closer, yet.
Maybe someday… but he’s not ready.

Bad pitch calling by Soto
You just had Blum swing at two high pitches. You should have thrown the next one a little higher. Instead Soto calls for a pitch low and away. Same position as the previous two pitches, but in the strike zone. Bad pitch location.

not sure what Soto called...
but the pitch that Blum hit into center was almost the same location as the previous two… maybe a tad lower..

last night felt better… but moehler isn’t good so its hard to tell.

The 14-inning game was, I think, a turning point
.. almost as much because of what it would have meant to lose that one. Imagine how gutted we would have felt if we’d lost!
But we won it.. and have been slowly clawing up the standings since the big losing streak… I’ll admit that I’m probably more optimistic than most here, but the flame of my optimism was flickering dangerously there and has gotten stronger lately… :)
