Mac on Chulo

Mac got in a good one about Simon, and Bob Dvorchak caught it:

McClendon had already decided that Vogelsong wasn't coming back for the seventh. His pitch count had reached 107, and McClendon had been itching to give his bullpen a lead to protect. So with two runners aboard, the manager sent up Randall Simon to pinch hit. Simon, who has underachieved at the plate, drew only his third unintentional walk of the season to set up Kendall.

"That might have been the biggest accomplishment of the night," McClendon said of the walk to Simon."

Bwa-ha-ha.
