It was game two in Los Angeles for the Cubs and the Dodgers, with John Lackey on the hill for the Cubs in opposition of right hander Brandon McCarthy. The game was on FOX, so I did a lot of yelling at Joe Buck and a lot of laughing at John Smoltz’s fetish with the word firm. So what happened in the events of this sportsball competition?
The answer, at least in the early going, was not very much. For either side. It is worth noting that both Lackey and McCarthy got through three with no hits to open the game.
