Man, this one hurts.  This was supposed to be the triumphant return of the prodigal starter back to the rotation.  He was supposed to be the Liebs of old.  Instead, he did his best tin can impression.   In the process, the Cubs served up a plethora of homeruns - Dusty's favorite way of winning - including two to a couple of jabrones, Bako and Hairston.  Oh, the pain.  The sweet, horrible pain.

Point of fact, Cincy scored only on the longball today, and all but two of their homeruns were solo shots.  Meanwhile, Joey Votto looked like freakin' Mickey Mantle out there, slugging out three servings over the course of the game.  Three.  Thrice.  Threeway on the freeway.

Not only did Jon Lieber look clown-like out there, but the two candidates to replace him in the rotation followed up his performance with crappy outings of their own.  Sean Marshall and Sean Gallagher combined to pitch four innings and they also gave up four runs scored.  This outing couldn't have been uglier if it was Tori Spelling.  

Do the Cubs play tomorrow?  Does anybody care to watch them lose again?  How close is Lou Piniella to blowing his top?  (Hmm.  I need to make a photoshop for this.)

Series Recap: Screw it, I'm pissed.  I'll do this later.
