“Not exactly the best place to get tagged”

So I set down my book to write a thread.

Their isn’t anything real sexy about the Cubs right now but the game must go on and so must this site.

Justin Germano believes he pitched better than the box score would indicate after he gave up seven runs to the Milwaukee Brewers in his last outing.

He will get another chance to prove he can fare well against the Brewers when these NL Central rivals open a four-game set Monday night at Wrigley Field.

“People might think I’m crazy, but I feel like I pitched a lot better than the line shows,” Germano said. “I got ground balls that last inning. They just hit them where our guys weren’t. It’s part of the game. A couple inches to the left, a couple inches to the right, I could get out of that inning with just a couple runs. I definitely battled that last inning just trying to get that third out.”

Couple of inches to the left and to the right mean a lot in this game brutha Germano.

Ryan Braun is back in town so that should make Julie happy.

Ryan  who leads the majors with a .590 slugging percentage, is 13 for 43 (.302) against the Cubs.
