The Bald Truth

Unless Adrian Gonzalez is doing the hitting, it's almost impossible to hit a homer at Petco Park. And yet Kevin Gregg found a way to make it happen, serving up a fat pitch to some dude named Kyle Blanks.

I guess the extra "g" in the Cubbie closer's name stands for "gag."

THE BALDEST TRUTH

And how 'bout Lou Piniella? The graying skipper started walking out to yank Gregg, who already had let the tying run to score, only to realize before getting to the mound that he didn't have anybody warming up in the bullpen.

By the time Lou's crew gets home from this West Coast trip, its season could be more over than Joe the Plumber, 401(k) matches and the newspaper industry.

I expect to have a fresh TBT on SportsFanLive.com later Tuesday. I'll give a heads-up here when it's posted.
