Chicago Southpaw Tosses 3-0 Shutout Saturday, September 14th , 2080 The Chicago Cubs shut out the New York Mets 3-0 today behind the strong pitching of Adam Herbert. Herbert surrendered only 2 hits in recording the complete-game victory, and struck out 8. Following the last out, Herbert appeared to celebrate a little too boisterously for New York manager Rodney Smith, who could be seen scolding the famously outspoken left-hander as the clubs left the field. Herbert's own manager then intervened with some words for his counterpart. The Mets skipper would not comment on the exchange, but at the Cubs press conference, Herbert confirmed that it was regarding the celebration. "He basically told me I was being a lousy winner," Herbert said. "And I told him he was being a lousy loser," Chicago manager Vin Calia added. Herbert has made 29 starts, tossed 219.1 innings, struck out 237 batters and walked 46. His record is 14-10 with a 3.78 ERA and he has limited other teams to a .240 batting average.
