The NEW one run
It is official Dusty lost his mind today trotting out his newest version of 1R, Ryan Dumpster. Dumpster is the new closer and I now must jump off a bridge.
Two nights ago Dumpster was put in, in the 9th inning of a 5-4 game. It was 5-4 because 1R gave up a homer to Doug "sick to my stomach" Mientkiewicz. Dumpster came in and gave up two utterly horrific runs, on 4 hits, to end the game 7-4. Dusty apparently didn't learn his lesson, as always, and gave Dumpster the opportunity to screw up again. Dumpster promptly screwed up by walking one batter and allowing two hits, to eventually score Doug Mientkiewicz. What really pisses me off is Dusty wasted another great outing by Mark "Jesus" Prior by making terrible bullpen decisions.
Dusty almost made the right decision, because he had M Dub up in the pen along with Dumpster, but we all know that Dusty and sanity parted ways at the end of last year. My favorite shot of the whole game was Dusty pacing in the dugout right before Dumpster really blew it by allowing the Valent single that scored Mientkiewicz.
Luckily Derrek Lee, the hottest player in all of baseball, bailed the Cubs out of the fire by hitting a Herculean homer against the wind to left field.
In other game news bad defense is back in a big way. Jerry Hairston Jr. committed two errors the first of which led to the only two runs Prior let up today. An easy chopper was hit to second right at Jr. which had double play written all over it but he let it go right under his glove like some sort of Bill Buckner. The two runners, Floyd and Piazza, should've been out, but instead both scored two batters later. The horrible defensive fundamentals displayed by Hariston Jr. are a symptom of bad management on the part of Dusty. Dusty needs to wake up and correct the errors the Cubs have been making as of late.
Luckily the Mets suck at defense worse than the Cubs. In the bottom of the second inning two defensive miscues by the Mets scored two Cubs and a third, Mark Prior, scored the old fashioned way off a Nefi Perez single. The first miscue was a wild pitch that allowed Hairston Jr. to score from third and advanced Hank White. Two batters later C Pat grounded out to first and Mientkiewicz threw a throw in the dirt to home allowing Hank White to score from third.
