An Open Letter to the Chicago Cubs

Dear Cubs,

If you're going to lose anyways, please don't drag it out for 4 hours and 15 minutes.

Also, play Felix Pie more. Get rid of Jacque Jones if you have to. In fact, do that either way.

And never put in Will Ohman with the game on the line. Call Angel Guzman back up from the minors as quickly as possible and send Ohman down. He needs the extra work, he'll thank you for it later.

Thanks,

SITI





Game Summary for April 17th, 2007

• Score: Cubs lose to the Padres, 4-3, in 14 agonizing innings.
  
• Player of the Game: Felix Pie. Has already thrown out more players at the plate than the rest of the team combined.
  
• Subject of Lou's Wrath: Himself. I think he gave up on this game when he put Ohman in to blow the lead, and put Jason Marquis in as a pinch runner, meaning if we somehow managed to tie it Marquis would be playing first. Shame on you Lou.
  
• Comments: All that matters in this game is Felix Pie, the rest is an afterthought. I'll write more on him later, but all you need to know now is that Soriano will be out for about a week, so the kid has plenty of time to convince Jim Hendry and Lou that Jacque Jones is a waste of time.
  
• Magic Number: 153. The Cubs sit alone at the bottom of the standings in the Central Division. A sad day indeed.
