ok, this lineup is about what I would expect after how many games Gardy has had Thome & Kubel out at the same time – he’s going to rest them both together too. I really wish we’d stick to one at a time for all the above unless absolutely necessary. (/personal grumbling)

*sigh* yeah, that was so close but I think most of us just really wanted the sweep because it was Chicago. It’s good to have won two series in a row ON THE ROAD regardless. It’s a great set up to bring a winning team into Target Field.
