The Cubs have a chance to win with two runners on late and Lou doesn't pinch hit for Craig Monroe against a right handed pitcher? Monroe is hitting .190 against right-handers! We had Ward and Fontenot on the bench available. What is Lou supposed to try and be doing, winning games or not hurting feelings?
