Bill Hall Still Sucks, Just Not as Much

Today's game was not as much of a rowdy affair as yesterday's game. We were sitting in the second row where the incredibly drunk people were yesterday, and well, we were not incredibly drunk. Therefore, we did not succeed in harassing Bill Hall until our lungs collapsed. Because of this he managed to get a hit, and the Cubs soundly lost. No real highlights to share except that we were right next to security guy Scott again, and he's still the coolest. And I had an actually conversation with Ronnie Woo Woo this time, which basically amounted to talking about how the Cubs were going to win. Too bad it didn't actually happen. If we can't win with Hill on the mound, what hope do we have?

Game Summary for April 24th, 2007

• Score: Cubs lose a rainy one to the Brewers, 4-1.
  
• Player of the Game: Mark DeRosa. Got an RBI double in the 9th, for the only offense the Cubs could muster.
• Subject of Lou's Wrath: I want to say Rich Hill here, but I can't considering he still has a 1.57 ERA. He did fail pretty badly during this game though, however with no run support it would have been hard to win even with a shutout. So I think the whole team is getting an earful tonight.
  
• Comments: Lou came out and said before the game that today's lineup will be the permanent one that he'll work with for now. Well Lou, you might want to rethink that statement. Rich Hill was not his normal self, and the Cubs couldn't get anything going. Add the rain to that and it turned out to be a fairly depressing game. So much so that I left in the 8th inning, and I never leave a Cubs game early.
  
• Magic Number: Still 149. I hate the Brewers with a passion.

Tomorrow is the final game of the series, with the surprisingly good Ted Lilly facing off against the surprisingly bad Ben Sheets. It would be fitting if the one game in this series that I didn't go to was the one game that we actually won. Let's hope that happens.
