Note: told you all it's crazy busy, sorry this one's so late.
He walked.
And then manager Clint Hurdle put in a pinch runner for him.
What a balloon pop.
Sounded like he had fun, though.
I was driving home late on the Kennedy, which is under construction.
Right when Aramis came up, I got distracted by the flashing lights of a wreck.
So I pretty much missed his whole thing.
But I guess Big Z did the Cubs proud (even a joke pitch to Manny), Dempster struck out the side in the 9th, and Carlos Marmol with the confidence-boosting 2 strikeouts in the 13th.
And now it's the Second Half of the Magic Season.
I saw Hoffpauir's back in the Bigs, hitting 4-something in Iowa and ready to bash some balls.
Carlos wants the ball, Alfonso's coming back, with the addition of Harden the Cubs look to have a ridiculous depth of quality starting pitchers...
I am ready to watch some serious ass-stompin.
Our guys throw harder, hit farther, walk bigger, coach smarter, look handsomer and have balls bigger than any other pixie, skinny neck, gas-grilling team in the league.
They're the '85 Bears.
They're The Bomb, The Shit, The Best You Ever Saw.
They're John Wayne and Charles Bronson and Richard Roundtree and Lee Marvin and The Rock and Clint Eastwood and that guy from the first "Walking Tall" movie.
And they're going into Minute Maid Park today to take on the team I like the least, the Houston Astros.
I am READY.
Go CUBS!
