Who stayed up and watched that game last night? I have to admit that I did. The Cubs lost in the bottom of the 16th inning. I have one observation about this season's Cubs: That closer (Jose Veras) reminds me of Mel Rojas. (For you youngsters and non-Cub fans...that's not a compliment.)

In the latest Cubs news: Don't look now, but Emilio Bonafacio leads the majors in hits, ex-Cub Matt Garza took a no-hitter into the 7th last night (and lost), and Carlos Villanueva has lost both games this season.
