That was easily the best I have seen Chafin throw.

That was good.

Chafin.  So good.

Workman to close it out?

Nope.  Mills.

Somebody check on Deeg.

I'm fine with a strike thrower on the mound for the 9th.

Mills gets the last three outs without any trouble.  Is this the first time seeing him get the final outs since his no-hitter?

Not sure what's racing through his mind, but Mills looks so calm and composed.  Nice finish for him. 

Cubs score 5 runs on 5 hits.  4 games in, a perfect match between 17 runs and 17 hits thus far.  :)

Lots of luck in the game.  Adam K's a guy and gets a nice solid looks-like-DP-out-of-the-inning; then a bad hop and a HR and the game is totally different.

Most of you are too young, but some of you might remember.  Back when I was a kid the Cubs had a reliever named Dick Tidrow.  I think his mustache was longer, and his hair darker, but I was thinking that Chafin looks like Dick Tidrow?  Anybody else remember him, and if so am I crazy?

I only know him from his 1980’s Topps Card, but close enough.  The Cubs just haven’t had many guys with great mustaches.

My favorite all-time mustache is the pornstache on Maddux’s 1987 Donruss rookie.
