Another close game was played yesterday between the Reds and Cubs. I think every Cubs fan wants the season to come to an end. God should have mercy on the club. Being knocked off again 5-4. It was Ken Griffey's pinch-hit 3-run homer in the 8th that put Cincy on top to seal the win. The Reds have a glimmer of a chance yet to clinch the postseason (3.5 games out of division). Wade Miller again got shot down for first win and remains 0-2. He can't catch a break this year with the injury and all.
The Chicago lineup scraped out only 5 hits. No one got more than 1 hit besides Juan Pierre. These guys had given out months ago and have shown no real desire to win. Bronson Arroyo went 7 quality innings without allowing any earned runs yet didn't get the decision. With 5 games left on the schedule, who even knows if the Cubs care to win any of them here in the final week. It's been torture to watch this franchise crumple throughout the season and no one in the front office taking charge or handling responsibilities. I guess what can anyone expect out of brainless, incompetent hacks who aren't fit to run and manage professional sport teams?
Sean Marshall get another shot at collecting his 6th win as he squares off with the Brewers' Carlos Villanueva (1-1) at Wrigley Field tonight. If there is a time for the boys in the lineup to swing for the fences it's now. What else do they have to play for, fundamentals? Yeah, I know how well that turns out. So tee off into Waveland and Sheffield Avenue and give the loyal, die-heart fans a reason to cheer.
