Box Score
- Tony Cingrani: 7.0 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 0 BB, 9 SO, 99 pitches
- Wonderful outing for the young stud pitching product. It's jsut too bad Carlos Villanueva gave our offense so much trouble that we couldn't get him a much deserved 'W'.
- Best overall performance so far for the left-hander. Good things.
- Choo: 3-for-4, walk, run scored. AVG .385. OBP .535. Outstanding.
- Heisey: Home run (2)
- Paul and Votto had the only other two hits
- We gave ourselves a chance...
- well, the Cubs gave us a chance by sending Marmol to the mound in the 9th inning and we capitalized on that opportunity
- Then Dusty didn't have a lot of choices out of the pen with all the tired arms from so many extra inning ballgames and sent that jabroni Manny Parra to the hill.
- Parra pitched in the 9th and allowed only an infield single while striking out the side. That can't be? Ok, good call Dusty. Now you HAVE to send in Chapman next inning.
- Nope. Dusty runs Manny Parra back out there and Manny proceeds to give the game away to the lowly Cubs after his team had just fought their way back into it.
- Baker should have used Chapman. But he could have used Simon, Broxton, or LeCure, or even Hoover. Yes, they had all pitched the night before. But so had Simon and Ondrusek. There is no reason Chapman cannot be used. What is the point?
