Game Thread; Cubs at Astros, 8:05 p.m. ET/7:05 CT: Gallagher, Take Three
2008-05-21 23:30:00
I CAN HAS ANTHR MAJR LGE STRT? It looks like it, young Sean. You've certainly "earned" another outing, even though you should have been out there much earlier (to save Cubs fans from the failed "Lieber as a starter" experiment). An outing like Gallagher had last week against Pittsburgh (6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H) would be just fine and go a long way in winning over those who still may not think he's deserving of the No. 5 spot (I really don't know who else would be better right now with Hill on the minor-league D.L., but anyways). So, in doing some background on Gallagher, I found an interesting item. Seems that if this whole pitching thing doesn't work out, he has something to, uh, fall back on: Via scout.com Well, you know when I got drafted, I asked both of my parents if I should go to college or if I should sign. One of my mom's sticking points that she made with me was that if I signed, I had to go back to school. I'm not really a big school person. I took a couple months of class...

Cubs Go To Houston and We Visit Maddog -- Cubs at Astros 5/20/08 7:05 CT/8:
2008-05-21 00:56:00
Maddog's parents are gone, they've got guns and booze, and I'm not wearing pants In honor of something of which I am still unclear, the folks of LOHO, Wrigleyville23, and Cubs F/X (a site that goes well beyond my capabilities) are all heading over to Another Cubs Blog to chat with Maddog and the gang for the game tonight. As for this game, I can tell you that I saw Ryan Dempster pitch on Thursday, and whatever the hell he was doing (outside of pitching to the Padres), he should keep doing it.  A lot. No question the decision to put him in the starting rotation was a gamble, but, unlike every goddamned bet I ever make, this one seems to be paying off. Dempster's 5-1 with team-leading 2.35 ERA (you can look up his WHIP on your own), and his 48 strikeouts are second behind T.R. Lilly.   His secret weapon? Chris Sampson (2-3, 6.46) takes the mound for Houston.  Considering the seven runs in six innings that he gave up against San Francisco in his last start, that m...
