Saw the game on Sunday and I gotta say, he looked outstanding whenever he used his changeup. He had great control over it and hitters just can't hit him when he's got his control. It's a shame he got tendonitis and had to leave. It reminded me of his playoff performance in 2002 when he just looked unhittable. Why? He was throwing low strikes.
It doesn't bother me that Nomar is out, that TOdd Walker is out, that Kerry is hurting. It really doesn't. If you spend as much money as the Cubs do, then that means you're capable of dealing with injuries like this. And they are. They have Hairston and Neifi Perez (who is just clutch city - I must admit) who can start and their rotation is deep as hell. So no, I'm not worried. They'll be right in there when it's all said and done.
