Last night in the STRAIGHT UP REDIC LEAGUE, I took a huge gamble and it paid off. Picking up Randy Johnson the 44 year old left-hander from the Arizona Diamondbacks who entered the game with a 1.98 career ERA and 10-0 against Chicago. Going into the game I thought if he gets seven strikeouts and only lets up a couple of runs this is an OK start . It was a pitchers duel last night in Arizona, the Cubs Rich Harden looked great as well, striking out ten and only allowing 1 earned run through 8 innings. Not as good as the Big Unit, striking out four, only walking one batter and allowing no earned runs. The Unit Lasted 7 strong innings. In the top of the 8th inning the Diamondbacks brought Micah Owings out of the bullpen. For Owings owners, this is the end for him as a starting pitcher and look forward to Max Schererz being called up as soon as he is healthy. The Unit ended up with the win making that his 291st win of his career. His next start is Sunday against the SF Giants at home. This should be a good match up for the Unit as well.
