Aww! I just saw this. Thanks.

Seriously, I haven't screamed at the TV that much and been so angry about a game in a long time.

I really don't understand it. Qualls gave up five runs in that inning to allow them to tie it up. Two runs were credited to Sampson who had been pulled, but it's freakin' Qualls that screwed everything up. What amazes me is that Garner let him ruin the whole thing without ever thinking about taking him out. It's like he enjoys seeing him self-destruct. Based on what I always see in other games, I'd bet just about any other manager would've had him out far before the Angels could tie the game. And because the winning run came in the 9th, Qualls didn't even get the loss. Yes, I was angry. Apparently I still am. haha

This makes me dislike the Cubs less. Should I be worried about that?

"Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said Barrett's arguments this month with pitchers Carlos Zambrano and Rich Hill had nothing to do with the deal."

Hmmm...
