Of course, 7 of the Cubs runs came in garbage time as well. Including 5 off of C Luke Maile who took one for the team and pitched in the 7th and 8th innings.20-9, and four of the reds runs came in garbage time. Wow!
That should make the next 2 a lot more interesting.
But, the Cubs have the talent to win the division. There is no reason for them to not be able to compete. I expect a 3-way race with the Cubs, Brew Crew and Red Legs.
The Reds need to hold serve until Lodolo and Greene get back and hope they are both healthy enough to make a difference. Or just keep on doing what they've been doing for the last few months without them.
* I've been in the office since 9:30am yesterday. Been going full bore, too. Took a dinner break from 7:30-8:00 last night. Marge just brought me a change of clothes and my shower stuff. I went down to the gym, had a glorious shower and then saw the clothes she brought me... shorts that I never wear because they are horribly designed to inflict pain. They go so far up my ***, I get a proctologist bill after wearing them. But the shirt takes the cake. It would be too tight on wcc circa 2005.
I look like a garter snake that just swallowed a basketball.
I'm uncomfortable, tired, cranky and pissed at the world. But I smell good.
And I appreciate her making a nearly hour round trip to make me look stupid.
