It was about as good a debut as you can have, especially for a local product, born and raised in the Chicago area.
Tom Gorzelanny made his debut tonight for the Chicago Cubs and was victorious against the Cincinnati Reds.
Gorzelanny changed speeds well and was consistently ahead in the count against the helpless Reds, who have now lost eight straight games.
Gorzelanny even helped himself with an RBI single in the sixth inning, giving him all the insurance he would need.
Gorzelanny struck out six while only walking one during 7 1/3 innings Tuesday night. Only three Reds were able to get hits off ...

Can you feel the anticipation? The July 31 non-waiver trade deadline is fast approaching.
This historically is always one of the most exciting times for any baseball fan, especially fans of the Chicago Cubs.
The last several seasons, the Cubs have been buyers (and very well could be again this year), but what if they became something of a seller this year?
Before I continue, know that I am in no way throwing in the towel for this season. I'm well aware of the makeup of the NL Central, and the Cubs are still in position to win their third consecutive division title.

Well, I had so much fun doing this the first time (by the way, feel free to check it out...shameless self-promotion) that I wanted to do it again.
With the second half underway, I want to share my current thoughts about this current roster.
Before I begin, I wanted to point out how messy this current roster is:
There is only one catcher (Koyie Hill).
There are only really four outfielders (Alfonso Soriano, Kosuke Fukudome, Milton Bradley, Reed Johnson).
There are eight infielders (too many to name at the moment).
I can't remember a time when the roster was so, for lack of a better word, unorganized. Granted, injuries ...
The Cubs/Nationals series is always one of the cutthroat, can't miss series that has every baseball fan drooling. This bitter rivalry dates back to the mid-2000s and has been going strong ever since.
They even compete in the same league.
Whoa.
Back to reality for a moment.
The Nationals are worse at baseball than I am at hyping up this matchup. They are like Marv and Harry from the movie Home Alone—bumbling, stupid, awkward, and so on.
Kevin McAllister would certainly be able to beat this team, just as he beat Marv and Harry twice.
But what an opportunity for the Chicago Cubs—to play, and beat ...
