Yeah how did he do?

Here's the line from tonight--he started. Looks like he hit 3 of the 11 batters he faced. Must have been a little too geared up.
Samardzija (L, 0-1) 2.0 3 2 2 0 0 1 9.00

Typical Cubs betting the farm on a pitcher thats not yet been proven.

I am scared to death that they have him in their clutches. God only knows how they'll f*ck him up in the next couple of months.

If anyone can manage to ruin their season and someone else's in an entirely different sport, it's the Cubs. All that they touch turns to horsesh*t.

I guess now that Manieri is off to LSU, Jim Hendry can overdraft and oversign THEIR pitchers instead of Notre Dame guys.

Looks like he settled down in second start - allowed a hit, a walk, struck out 5 in 3.0 innings
