Daniel Cabrera (0-5, 6.07 ERA) vs. Randy Wells (11-10, 3.18 ERA)
Story Lines
Randy Wells' rotation spot for next season is pretty secure, I would guess, but I'm sure he would like to end the year with a better than .500 record.
The Cubs, by the looks of it, looked terrible yesterday. Thank goodness, I didn't see anything.

Well kids, it's time to bid adieu to the Koyie Hill Appreciation Society for 2009. As you know, for every hit Koyie Hill delivered in 2009, I removed a section from this picture:Koyie finishes the year with 60 hits and a .237 average in 83 games. Let's face it, Koyie isn't going to be remembered for his offensive output, but for the stretch of consecutive games he caught...

Last day of the season (for teams that aren’t good enough to be in the playoffs). Time to hand out some awards for accomplishment or lack thereof to deserving Cubs players.
