Well, that was fun. Knew there was something off with that ump — I was making remarks to that effect on that good old farcebook, also referring to a possible payor in my comments, given the interesting strike zone he was using. That said, I hope Chris Guccione is okay. I just would prefer him not to be at the plate. Jerry Meals, the crew chief, had a more consistent zone. But then Jerry was behind the plate for Kerry Wood’s 20-strikeout game.
The Cubs bats were okay. Cole Hamels looked good in his Cubs debut.
