The Cubs have a man on first with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth, trailing 10-8 to the Pirates. Make that first and second, since Ryan Freel just drew a walk. Aaron Miles is at the plate now. Matt Capps was just removed from the game during this inning after an apparent leg injury. I flipped the channel in time to see him limping off. And a 4-6 FC puts this game away as the North Siders have just lost their 8th in a row.
This should now be cause for concern. The offense came to life tonight, but Ryan Dempster allowed 6 runs in only 4 innings. The wheels are all coming off at the same time for the Cubbies, and it would seem that Lou Piniella is due to explode any day now. It worked in '07, so why not try it again? And yes, they do miss Mark DeRosa.
