Cubs lose a game and an Angel
The Cubs lost to the Brewers last night, but they didn’t lie down. The Brewers are a good team, with great hitters and a decent pitching staff. It’s not as frustrating to lose to them as in past years, when they weren’t very good and we still couldn’t beat them. This year just hurts our standings more.
Angel Guzman has been put on the disabled list with tightness in his forearm. He’s been replaced on the roster by Double-A right-hander Sean Gallagher (7-2 this season with a 3.39 earned-run average in 11 starts). Gallagher will serve in the bullpen.
Does calling up someone from Double-A mean we don’t have anyone of quality at Triple-A? I don’t thing that’s the case. I think it involves waivers and such, and finding the right arm to use as a temporary stop-gap until Guzman is better.
