First things first

Congrats to the Buss family on the new additions! Good stuff! Too bad you had to miss the game yesterday, but you'll miss lots of stuff now. And besides, it was a shitty game.

On to the rant --

that game blew for so many reasons, I can barely comment. But I will. If Theriot cannot catch the fucking the ball on stolen base attempts, then get a shortstop who can. I don't care what he's hitting. That hurt. Two dropped. Add to that the two throwaways at first by Aram and Z. And those sissy Dodgers bunting their cleanup hitter. And the biggest problem yesterday -- other than we are going back to our old ways of taking strikes and swinging at everything else -- Big Z pitched like a pussy. There. I said it. He was trying to a finesse guy and locate and throw those slow curves to guys with slow bats. He's a power pitcher and he needs to get people out with power. Fastballs with movement. Sliders that bite. That's it. Shelve that other crap and pitch the way you hit, dammit. Pathetic game. Dodgers should not score seven against us in four games. Fuck.

They'd better win tonight or I'll be really pissed tomorrow.

Once again...Happy Birthday yesterday to Courtney and Kendall. Welcome to Cub nation.
