Richard Gallardo just left the Smokies game with an arm injury after going to the ground following a pitch. Doesn’t sound good at all.

The level of conversation on this site is intelligent, reasoned and informative. Miles ahead of other Cub sites.

wall stole a HR from busch...double. nice to see him destroy a curve ball.
upon further viewing, that might not have been a homer in too many parks...it had a lot of hang time, though.

I’m at the game—woot!
If the streak breaks, it’s not my fault.
