Bako Strikes Back
mir·a·cle ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mr-kl)
An event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God: see Paul Bako, 5/31/04.
"3-3 with a double". Seems innocent doesn't it? Hell, you can see a similar line for some player almost every day of the Major League Baseball season.
But when 3-3 with a double follows this guy's name:
, you know there's something cosmic at work here.
It could have been "3-3 with 2 doubles", but Bako was unable to take advantage of his deal with Satan when he was gunned out at second by Richard Hidalgo trying to stretch a single into a double.
Anyway, the Cubs won again, 3-1. That's 2 in a row. Moises hit a two run homer that made up the difference and Sweaty Joe entered the ninth and luckily allowed only 2 hits and a long flyout to Adam Everett to end the game.
Glendon Rusch pitches on 3 days rest today. Probably not smart, but who knows.
The Cubs traded the decaying corpse of Damian Jackson (thanks for that one hit you had as a Cub) to the Royals for Gookie Dawkins (that's right, Gookie Dawkins) and a PTBNL. Gookie was tearing it up at AAA, hitting .223 with 41 strikeouts in 166 at-bats. Gookie was once thought to be the heir apparent to Barry Larkin at short for the Reds. What happened? Well, Barry is still "playing" short and Gookie is still named Gookie. In short, (and at short), he sucks. Unless the PTBNL is Carlos Beltran, we can all just thankfully remember this trade as the reason we never have to see the following in the lineup ever again:
1) Macias RF
2) Jackson 2B
