Welcome back, Mr. Dempster.
Ryan didn’t pitch much today – just five innings – but he was effective, allowing just four hits, and striking out four, all while taking his scoreless inning streak up to 27 innings. He was on a pretty strict pitch limit, so the five innings aren’t really an issue. The many, many teams watching were undoubtedly pleased. I hope the Cubs send you to a winner, Ryan.
The Cubs’ offense stepped up with two big innings, capped by a three-run bomb from Starlin Castro. It’s a nice end to an otherwise very ugly first half of the year for the Cubs.
Paul Maholm got a rare relief appearance – the first of his career, in fact – as a tune up before the break.
Well Colvin is begining to become legend on here, he is brought up at least two times everyday.
Tyler Colvin’s arms are covered with Dick Tidrow’s mustache.
ha, Tidrow is more than famous… you could almost say he is INfamous. Yeah I watched that movie today hopeful all you kids get the reference.
Agree on Colvin. BJAX leads all AAA in 3b’s, K’s and lack of errors. top 1 or 2 at icubs in runs, 2b, 3b and HR’s. Top in PCL in most catagories including steals. He is having a bad year. I’m still on the wagon.
hint?
hint for what?
