Not exactly Tinker to Evers to Chance [the only Cub DP combo to ever win a championship, for those historically challenged amongst us ;-) ], but good enough for a 4-2 victory, which we needed.
Kudos to Andy for 6.1 and only two runs. Kudos to Joba for striking out three batters of the four he faced =:-0 Kudos to The Great Mariano for being himself.
Now, Joba only got in 30 or so pitches. Wonder if he stretched it out over in the bullpen afterward [the target was 55 pitches]. Still, we needed a win, and danged if 4-2 after nine isn't exactly that! I'll take it..... Okay, checking in with PeteAbe reveals that Joba indeed threw 27 in the 'pen for his 55 total. This points him to a start after the weekend - maybe 75 pitches or so, depending on how he's feeling after the 55 pitches last night.
Moustaches. Giambino, Damon, Shelley Duncan. It's said that Joba is attempting one, too, and that he looks like a grade-schooler. Jason says that his is staying as long as he continues to hit [up to eleven dingers and .250 as he's impressing enough for a 2009 contract, somewhere]. Damon and Duncan, idiot/caveman types both, were certain to follow suit. Wonder if Derek J will grow one? Sounds kinda like Sampson and the hair, really [which would be cool, but I'd settle for The Bronx Zoo, part II, minus the bickering]. Well, I have one [and that swashbuckling soul patch, too! ;-) ]
