Nice Knowing Ya

Way to look great on national television boys. From Ken Gurnick...

Dodgers starter Eric Stults went only three-plus innings and allowed four runs for the loss, and he now has a bruised ERA (4.80) to match a bruised thumb suffered two starts ago. With Hiroki Kuroda returning to the rotation Monday, Stults is likely headed to the bullpen or the disabled list.

Fontenot chased Stults in the fourth inning with a one-out RBI triple, and Fontenot scored on Theriot's RBI single off Guillermo Mota. The Cubs extended their lead with three runs off Jeff Weaver, who walked five (one intentionally) in 2 1/3 innings.

The Dodgers were also shut out for the first time all season, as they fell to the Cubs 7-0. Hopefully those Dodger fans watching the game in the Los Angeles area took advantage of the cool weather, and turned off the game after Stults' departure. Anytime you see Guillermo Mota make an appearance in the fourth inning the white towel has already been waved.
