On paper, this game should be a no contest for the Cubs. Their starting line-up features a heart of the order that includes Bryant, Rizzo, Baez, Scharber (sp?) and Contreas. Jason Heyward is their # 8 hitter.
In contrast, the Bucs are responding with a line-up that includes Reyes and Newman in the # 7 and #8 holes, that has a 30+ year old 3rd baseman that has barely played ball in the last 2 years, and a RF that is now a veteran journeyman.
So, I for one am hoping that the Bucs can continue the Cubs' misery run and see them spotting a 2-8 record when the game is done and over. Gotta kick the Cubs when they are down because they appear to have too much talent to be featuring such a lousy record.
Go Bucs.

Wow, how many errant throws to first have they made already this year? It's not like Bell isn't a big enough target!

Cmon Newman my goodness how many errors can you make in one inning that costs them nearly 4 or 5 runs.
