Braves at Cubs


Make yourself comfortable, we're gonna be here awhile today. A long home run from La Roche, as I'm sittin here on a Sunday listening to Pat Hughes and Ron Santo on MLB Audio while watching the game on WGN. The Audio is two pitches behind.

Now Langerhans hits one, as did Renteria, and the Cub lead is cut to 4-3. Ron says, "It's a tough, tough day." I should get back to studying, to drinkin iced coffee, to waiting for Mark Prior to get healthy. What is it he's got, a bad arm? A bad wing? A bad shoulder, elbow, forearm — and Beckett blisters? Holy shit, he's ready. Send him out for a rehab start. At any rate he'll throw better than Jae Kuk Ryu.

Now Pratt and Smoltz have gotten hits. Ryu can't get anybody out, open up the bullpens, it's a reliever stampede. Smoltz's hit was off the vines and the fans are getting restless. On Howry, on Eyre, on— Holy shit! Marcus Giles just hit a three-run homer! Hah-hah, the Braves are up 6-4. Rusch can't get warm fast enough. Oh man, Renteria just got a hit, oh boy oh boy, Neifi and Barrett out to the mound, it's almost like batting practice.

Ok. Here's Dusty. Phew. That was brutal. Chipper will face Rusch.

(The Braves went on to win 13-12 in eleven.)
