No, Pedro Martinez, I don’t think Harold Reynolds and Greg Amsinger are anywhere near the broadcasters’ hall of fame, and I don’t think John Smoltz belongs there, either. Hand me over some of what you’re smoking, daddy-o. None of those men have either the personality or the delivery, and definitely don’t have the longevity, to warrant such inclusion.
Ok, on to the game. The Cubs played in San Francisco and Alec Mills and a succession of relievers looked decent enough, until the eighth. Robel Garcia and Kyle Schwarber turned on the power as the Cubs made efficient use of their few hits and almost pulled away with a win before grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory.
