So I'm going to attempt to lead another game day thread of reactionary, inconsistent play-by-play for today's game. So here it goes

Wandy Rodriguez, LHP 11-10, 3.51 ERA

vs.

Matt Garza, RHP 8-10, 3.54 ERA

Cubs Lineup:

Castro, S, SS

Barney, D, 2B

Ramirez, A, 3B

Baker, J, RF

Byrd, M, CF

Pena, C, 1B

Soriano, A, LF

Soto, G, C

Garza, M, P

Guess this is a must win game since no LaHair, LeMahieu, Campana... oh well you got to let the starters play if we are going to catch the Reds

[Fishin Phil]

I'm going to predict the Cubs get 1 run on 4 hits. It's kind of cool out today, and well you know the rest of the excuse.....

[LARRY]

Can anyone come with any logical reason for LaHair not starting? Because starter is a lefty?

That's the one.

[LARRY]

I'll argue with myself: But don't we want to know how he does against lefties? So come up with another.

I'd be stretching to come up with one, because I agree with you. The second you, that is.

Here we go. Wow the Astro's team, outside of Carlos Lee, has nobody that I know of.

I like Garza but he takes TOOOOOOO long between pitches, this game needs to be under 4hrs.

[MichiganGoat]

1,2,3 first for Garza

castro leadoff walk.. what?

[MichiganGoat]

Hi Larry, Hi TWC feel free to chime in

[MichiganGoat]

Barney HBP... but the 3B ump says it hit the bat and if it did results in a double play, way to be heads up Castro

[MichiganGoat]

It looks like it hit him in the wrist but its close to the nub of the bat

[MichiganGoat]

CASTRO JUST STOOD THERE AS THEY THREW TO SECOND THEN TO FIRST. ITS RULED A DOUBLE PLAY, but at least Castro wasn't eating sunflower seeds.

[MichiganGoat]

Come on Len and Bob you have to at least call out Castro for standing there!
