Electric Performances

In the last two days the Cubs have had two of their best pitching performances of the season in back-to-back games. The Reds have to be wondering what hit them. Yesterday the man of the day was young Rich Hill who threw the first complete game shutout of his career and struck out ten batters. Rich has been unbelievable since the first of August and has struck out double digits in two of his last three outings. I can't wait to see what he does in his last three! I am really excited about him.

I really did not want the Cubs to activate Carlos Zambrano for three garbage starts at the end of the seaosn, but obviously his back was fine. He was throwing his fastball in the mid 90s at times and threw 7 shutout innings while hitting his fifth home run of the season.
