The mini-blog below was published 2 seconds before Aramis put the Cubs up 1-0 with an opposite-way single. I had a premonition.
My other premonition, now that the Cubs have seized a 4-0 lead after D. Lee decided to actually hit a baseball, is that the game will be called on account of rain. No more runs, please! Let's get in 5 and put this game on the books.
A word on D. Lee: I still have a great feeling about him, and he is actually hitting fairly serviceably, but that dropped 1-3 putout in yesterday's 9th was like a little league play. This guy's a gold glover, and simply dropped a baseball for no reason. Frustrating, as was watching Alou's surrender to Isringhausen in the bottom half of that same ninth.
A word on Reggie Sanders: why throw this guy a fastball? He's the real-life version of Major League's Pedro Serrano.
"Straight ball I hit very much. But curveball: bats are afraid."
