Cruel Irony

So for the second day in a row, the starting pitcher that I fully expected to bomb pitched very well. Except this time our bullpen, which is supposed to be awesome, failed miserably. Disappointing to say the least. That's all I have to say about that, I'm too depressed to elaborate.

Game Summary for April 5th, 2007

• Score: Cubs lose to the Reds, 5-2
• Player of the Game: Jason Marquis, for pitching completely the opposite of what his stats suggested. Runner-up goes to Mark DeRosa for hitting the Cubs' first and only home run of the year thus far.
• Subject of Lou's Wrath: The entire bullpen. Most notably Will Ohman for his horrific display of pitching against Adam Dunn.
• Comments: This game was completely awful from the 7th inning on. Bullpen was terrible and the offense had nothing. We left 14 men on base, completely unacceptable. And our leadoff man that we're paying $17 million for this year alone? One for five. Had a chance to get things going in the ninth, but he struck out. Soriano is the anti-clutch.
• Magic Number: 162. Pittsburgh is 3-0?
