Cubs Battery Lose Their Minds Over Blown Strike Three Call
The call that got John Lackey going was a really, really bad one.

Cycles Are Good, And Jose Abreu Did A Good One
Before you come in here with your mew mew mew cycles aren’t valuable, a two-homer game is more valuable than a cycle routine, know this: cycles are good because they are unlikely and interesting.
