Chapman pitching to contact.
easy
We're good again!
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Cubs 9th, Chapman in to pitch for the Redlegs.
Barney bounces out to Cozart at short.
Rizzo bounces the 1st pitch to Frazier at 1st.
Soriano grounds out to Rolen
Chapman at 7 pitches, 4 strikes. (No Ks!)
And this one belongs to the Reds, 7 to 3.

Least dominating performance by Chapman in a victory this year.
And this one belongs to the Reds. Fun game.
Odd ending though...Chapman, non-save situation AND no k's. I'll take it though. :O)
Haha it's all good. I completely get why he'd use Chapman there, I just figured I'd have some fun with it.
The Cubs didn't want to make him work very hard, thankfully.

Actually a big win. Now Cueto and Latos, with Redmond in between.
Now if the Bucs and Cards would tie...
Great game and I actually got to watch it! Please tell me that George will be gone after Sunday. Is Thommy sick or something?

Magic number is now 38 for the Pirates, 37 for the Cards.

FYI...Billy Hamilton leads off the top of the 6th for Pensacola in 10 minutes or so if you want to head over to the Minor League Forum.
Thom is doing NFL tonight on national TV.
NFL games.
2nd pitch right after a dinger, fastball right in the ribs. I'm sure it's possible it was just a bad pitch...but if it was, that's some pretty crummy timing for it.
The thing I'm wanting to go back and look at is whether or not Ludwick did anything to show up Wood on his HR trot or something. Anybody notice anything out of the ordinary?
~edit~ Just went back and re-looked at it, I sure didn't see anything "hot dog'ish" about anything. Either just a bad pitch, or an intentional plunking. Regardless of which it was, the Reds responded EXACTLY they way they should. On the scoreboard.

Please tell me someone else heard George say "Well, Soriano got wood" on that last out.
