    That's 128 pitches in 4 innings, for these keeping track at home.

    Javy is on his way back to Chicago. I imagine Muni will be sent back down.

    Donnie "Bananas" Dewees, last year 's 2nd round pick entered today's game with multiple hits in 5-6 games.

    2-2 with 2 triples tonight and a walk.

    He has 4 triples already. He should be heading to hi-A soon I imagine.

    He was my favorite pick in that draft class, I really think he's going to be the long term answer in center.

    Between him and DJ Wilson, that was an exciting first few rounds. I was hoping Benintendi would fall but I like Happ too. And Hudson the giant lefty from downstate IL has already added to his FB as expected. And the hammer curve is getting raves.

    I know Benintendi and his whole family, kid is a great ball player but a major douche. I'm rather glad we didn't draft him because I'd feel about him the same way I do Lackey.

    He'd have made a great Cub all the same

    Yeah, I'm not huge on Happ. I think he is a nice prospect and could make a fine big leaguer. But, that K-rate is ugly af. I also wanted Benintendi really badly, so maybe I am holding it against Happ a little too much.

    I love Happ that versatility is nice af. I think he's going to turn some heads this year and end up a top 30 prospect

    Something I always wondered with what happened today.

    Hendricks made the error, not anyone else. I understand the run wasn't "earned" I think in the case of a pitchers error it should be though.

    Now score some runs Cubs!

    Hendricks has been great. Time to score some runs.

    What's Addy's walk up song? I like it. Zobrist needs to change that shit. I get that it's his wife and all but come on man.

    Haven't been very sharp today. You'll have that in a 162 game season I suppose. Still 6 outs to work with though.

    Ball takes a bad hop and goes through a hole in the screen costing Addy an error. That's just bad luck. Need to hold them to 0 here.

    Encouraging news: Hendricks was great today. Jorge has been doing very well at the plate the last few games.

    Bad news: Baseball is stupid and this shit was bound to happen at some point.


    We've still got this, though.

    At least we've sequenced all of this horrible baseball into just the one game. Get it out of our system.

    Should be able to put up some crooked numbers early against this Bergman fella.

    Side note: when is Hollandsworth going to fix his voice? Guy has sounded like shit since the season started. The constant throat clearing is kind of annoying.
