Take That, Dusty!

Dusty was booed each time he emerged from the dugout last night. I have to say, Cub fans in general have become like New York fans. Used to be, we were the most placid and forgiving group you ever wanted to see. Ironically, it was Dusty and 2003 that changed that. After the Bartman game, the feel-good vibe did not last for any reason beyond winning. Which is not normal here for our North Siders.

The Cubs pounded 3 homers against our Reds nemesis, Aaron Harang, and his reliever friends. If Harang doesn't beat us, I'm not sure who the Reds have that can. Maybe that young Jonny Cueto; he has great stuff, overpowering at times.

Felix Pie was overmatched again last night; he struck out 3 times. Now he has whiffed 10 times in 26 at bats. He has not walked once. Last year, he walked 14 times in 177 at bats, which isn't totally horrible. He probably needs to go back to AAA, and come back to us when he can dominate down there - not just succeed.
