In his defense, hollandworth blew it.

True, but LaTroya did give up a single and a double with 2 outs either way.

Hollandsworth with a leadoff walk.

 

Hairston deadens a bunt on his second attempt and the catcher picks it up and throws Hollandsworth out at 2nd base.

Even if the Cubs win this game, I'm still going to take some pleasure from it knowing that Hawkins has already blown a game. I guarantee every Cubs fan is b****ing about their closing position right now. Much more so than we were yesterday.

Indeed. Every Flubs fan is going to hate Hendry for not signing a closer like Troy Percival or Armando Benitez.

Patterson K's on a horrible pitch. 2 outs. Patterson is trying to take over the title of "K-Master" from Geoff Jenkins and Jeromy Burnitz.

Have to love Patterson's swing

That was a pretty disgusting swing. Even Crede might not be able to match that one. :puke

I'll never understand why Cubs didn't go harder after Benitez. Benitez was lights-out last year, and he's still young enough that he's not going to start throwing 88 mph all of a sudden. On the other hand, I think Percival is well on the decline. He was very shaky for the Angels last year. I'd guess every Angels fan is happier with K-Rod as their closer instead of Percival. With the Cubs high payroll, you would think they'd spend some money on their bullpen, which failed them so much last year.

Even Crede doens't look that awful.

Cuz Hendry lost his brain this offseason. He thinks he's a genius, when in fact, he's just an overrated GM.

 

Nomar singles to RF. Hairston at 2nd base, Nomar at 1st base, Ramirez up with 2 outs.

Ramirez K's on a nasty slider way off the plate to end the inning! Let's go Brewers!

That was the worst AB I've seen from Aramis in a long time. Now, Jenkins has the chance at 5 K's in a game. Where's Austin Kearns when you need him?

If 4 K's in a game is a "golden sombrero", what is 5 K's in one game?

LMAO.. I have like 10 people in my office and I am reading this.. when I read he struck out I was like YES!!! everyone looked at me like I was crazy.. LOL.

Ah yes, the reverse psychology worked against Jenkins! Leadoff double for Jenkins.

I like the Cubs jerseys with no names on them.

 

Also laughing as someone says "Jenkins, you stink" so you could hear it on tv.

Geoff Jenkins = Brett Favre ?

Finally. He doesn't K. Miller showed bunt but he now has a 3-1 count.

THAT'S A WALK FOR MILLER! HAHA! NO OUTS!

Geoff Jenkins = Brett Favre ?

First time I met him I thought he was Farve.. I asked him for his ID to prove he wasn't.

Good lord, Dusty is an idiot. He took out Nomar for Neifi Perez.

Good bunt by Branyan. Not in a million years would I have thought he could get it down.

Good bunt by Russell Branyan. He's definately not used to doing that. Runners advance to 2nd and 3rd. Kasper and Brenly try to stay calm...

Jon Leicester in for 1-year wonder Glendon Rusch. Is there any doubt now that last year was a fluke?

Hmmmm.....so this is what it looks like to save relievers in case the game goes to extras? Sorry, had to say that.
