Reason #4 Why We Love Tom Gorzelanny: He Knows His Place

Reason #1 why we love Tom Gorzelanny came in the form of a 7.1 IP, 3 hit and six strikeout gem on Tuesday night against the Reds. As a bonus, TG added in an RBI in the 6th for a little icing on top of the cake.

Reason #2 is that Tom hails from Evergreen Park which is about as blue-collar as Torrance, CA. While we're going to overlook that the Unabomber is from there, other notables include Wayne Huizenga (CEO of Blockbuster), Jenny McCarthy (TLFC Poster Girl from 1996-98) and Chris Chelios.

Reason #3 is that, as evidenced by supporting pic from the Tribune, TG clearly reminds Cub fans of Sloth from the Goonies. Rocky Road? Indeed...

But more importantly, the fourth reason that we heart Tom Gorzelanny is that, clearly, he knows his place in the Cubs pecking order.

Said Tom, "Ted is going be back soon...I just want to do my job until then, and I can go to the bullpen and go from there."

Exactly, Tom, don't rock the boat, understand your place in the rotation, pick up Ted's dry cleaning when he asks and all will be right with the world.
