I'm going to quote from a comment I made earlier:
"Let's talk about tonight. Randy Wolf is a soft tossing lefty. He's going to tie our righties into fits with that change and slow curve. Just so happens that Edmonds, Ward and probably Fontenot could all hit him. Edmonds and Ward are very good on the change. Notice I didn't mention Fukusitdown. But we will have our all right handed lineup in the game tonight, and who knows what'll happen. We will see..."
Oops. Not a lefty in the lineup. Good thing we swung at so many first pitches, too, so that Wolf could go all nine. Guy had over 100 pitches in the seventh but we are still up there hacking at everything early in the count. Except Cedeno for some reason...who actually had a good night save getting thrown out at home. I didn't see it...so I can't comment.
Well, it's official. Hey world, the Cubs can't hit a change or slow curve!
What a pathetic offensive week this has been. Good thing we brough Hoffpauir up. Doesn't Iowa need him? Where's the shake up Lou talked about the other day? Or was this it? Might be, cause I feel pretty shaken.
This whole losing streak really messes things up. Look at the affect that it has on people. Look at Smitty, for God's sake. He can barely blog. And when he does, it's totally incomprehensible. Suddenly Ralph's litany of forwards aren't funny. (What's that? They were never funny? Right. See? Even my memory is fading.) Doc Weedwhacker is now taking his lunch to work and saving his sardonic predictions for his patients. They've begun begging for anesthesia. And he's an eye doctor. Mojo is just downright cranky. A. Orta, MD is considering Brewer camp. Madness!
Thank goodness the Mets swept the Brewers...but that has some scary historical roots, too. We finally get the big lead for most of the season and here come the Mets. Sounds too familiar for me.
Now we find out that Zambrano has a dead arm, or an injury, or a toothache, or whatever...and Harden is being pushed back for "caution" -- I have this nightmare. Our playoff rotation is Lilly, Dempster, Marquis and Marshall. Suddenly not so scary. Please let me be wrong about that.
Send McGeeheehaw back down.
Political note: I'm listening to Sarah Palin and gotta tell you...I like her. She's tough and will make a great Vice President.
best to cb.
Let's hope the Cubs win again eventually. That'd be nice.

Rant and Rave...Bitch and Moan
Stand behind your team
Excuse me whilst I wax philosophical....
The teams that will win in the post season have 2 requirements one hard, one softer, but still firm.
The unbreakable rule is that they need to qualify for the post season. Not a mortal lock yet, but close to a foregone conclusion in the Cubs case.
The firm rule is that those that are playing well when the season ends, win more often. Right now that's just about limited to the Mets and Astros in the NL.
Our saving grace is (may be) the we are not yet at seasons end. I care more about what we will be playing like in the last week of the season, than right now. Though it's been tough not to have taken advantage of the gifts we have been given.
It's hard to sustain anything great for a whole season (if it last more than 4 hours call your doctor). So let the optimist look at the current crapopalozza as a necessary lull before getting hot later. Being hot for the last few months gives us the luxury of being chased, not chasing.
... So Gov Sarah looks impressive...Can she pole dance?
Why you wanna wax me? Wax yourself!
Not seeing the crapopalooza equals necessary lull argument...but I will try to be open minded.
Didn't Sarah Palin also play Raymond's wife on the sitcom "Everybody loves Raymond" ??
