The Marlins get another run and Bender closes it out easily in the ninth.  What a gut-punch of a game.

Apparently, Alcantara got the memo that it’s better for Cubs to lose.

Judge Landis may be looking into this.

Only 10 game lead on the Pirates. That seems doable.

Can't be easy to score the only four earned runs of the game and lose.

The accent is on the second syllable (al CANT ar a), which makes the third syllable difficult to hear, or even say.

Schwindel with another bomb ties the game 1-1 in the 6th. He turned on a high fastball.

Alec Mills and Elieser Hernandez pitching duel...

Also...nothing against Boog and JD, but it has been so nice listening to Pat and Ron do the games this weekend...

Thanks Reb, it’s the accent.  Duh.  But you don’t see that accent in box scores.

It gets tiring dusting somebody else’s broom.
