BCB reader digitalbenjamin emailed me with this suggestion for "Name That Cub". He's sent me a number of photos of pitchers with their faces and uniform numbers blurred. Can you identify this Cub pitcher just from his pitching motion?

Maddux?
Craig in South Bend - January 15, 2009
Nope.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
That's got to be Kerry
chipwood23 - January 15, 2009
Interesting thought, but no.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
Ryan Dempster
GreatIn2008 - January 15, 2009
Nope.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
Jon Lieber?
deadcatbounce - January 15, 2009
Nope.
This was a really good idea! Keep guessing!
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
Harden Or Weurtz
socalbob - January 15, 2009
Mike Bielecki?
Jody Jody Davis - January 15, 2009
LaTroy Hawkins?
initram - January 15, 2009
It'd have had to be Photoshopped, not just blurred, to be Hawkins.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
Marshall...
… superimposed.
initram - January 15, 2009
Marhsall
is right handed on MLB: The Show for PS3. Otherwise looks just like him.
JohnM - January 15, 2009
None of the above.
And it’s not reversed. This is a righthander.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
Seriously...
… I’d guess Harden.
Can one tell that the lip of the cap is almost hiding the eyes?
initram - January 15, 2009
It does, yes.
But it’s not Harden.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
Kerry Wood
NebraskaCubsFan - January 15, 2009
Already been
rejected.
DamonBerryhillsMitt - January 15, 2009
Chad Gaudin??
DamonBerryhillsMitt - January 15, 2009
Oh yeah my bad...
How about Howry
NebraskaCubsFan - January 15, 2009
Nope and nope.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
Joe Borowski
Corey Patterson - January 15, 2009
I think that's it.
DGU - January 15, 2009
The question is, could we have guessed it
from a picture of him yelling at the ground?
DGU - January 15, 2009
DINGDINGDING!!!
We have a winner. It’s Borowski. And look who guessed it, one of his former teammates!
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
so that pitch mustve gone a mile
bren - January 15, 2009
My initial reaction was Kerry Wood, too.
Weird.
daver - January 15, 2009
It looks like he's
bearded. Who are recent bearded right-handed Cubs pitchers? Dempster’s been rejected already.
DamonBerryhillsMitt - January 15, 2009
Wade Miller
PurpleLineToWrigley - January 15, 2009
Really like
the Wade Miller call.
DamonBerryhillsMitt - January 15, 2009
Howry?
salparadise23 - January 15, 2009

DamonBerryhillsMitt - January 15, 2009
Mitch Williams
hawkmullen - January 15, 2009
Or Michael Wuertz
PurpleLineToWrigley - January 15, 2009
Kyle Farnsworth
santoswoodenlegs - January 15, 2009
my guess too
but Joe’s legs are too small
chicagodave - January 15, 2009
As noted above...
… it’s Joe Borowski. I’ve asked digitalbenjamin to send me the original photo so I can post it.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
That was fun!
DamonBerryhillsMitt - January 15, 2009
That was awesome haha
PurpleLineToWrigley - January 15, 2009
I'll do more of these.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
TWSS
ZING!
PurpleLineToWrigley - January 15, 2009
Here's the unobscured Borowski photo.
Al Yellon - January 15, 2009
HULK SMASH!
drewishdrewid - January 15, 2009
sweaty joe
Andre Fonseca - January 15, 2009
would you mind blurring it again
the man always had a face for radio…when he was “focusing”
LAcarl519 - January 15, 2009
Heh
I would have bet money it was Kerry Wood.
Guess it’s a good thing I’m not rich enough to bet.
cublessinmilwaukee - January 15, 2009
"Name that Stache"
is another possible game……….?????
cozmotaylor123 - January 15, 2009
If you've got any pix that I could use for that, send 'em along.
Al Yellon - January 16, 2009
This was one of those where I knew the answer right when I saw it...
but failed to answer it first….
So much for looking COOL. haha
EJThunder - January 15, 2009
My guess was Harden.
Joe was looking lean.
slocs55 - January 15, 2009
I thought Kerry too
because of the way the shoulder and elbow are tearing
