Jason Marquis and the Cubs take down the Pirates 7 -1 to win
the series before they take the day off. Jason pitched 8 innings, struck
out 5 walked no one allowed a home run for the lone run. Michael Wuertz and
Scott Eyre shared the ninth inning to get some pitching chances in and to
end the ball game. Soriano started making his money last night by hitting a home
run and came up today and slugged another one. Ryan Theriot is still red
hot going 3 for 4 with a double and scoring 3 of the runs and getting 2
more RBIs. After all the damage the Cubs put on the Pirates the Cubs may
have to sit Cliff Floyd for a while. The bases were loaded and Snell decided that it would be easier
to peg Floyd in the knee than to let him hit. That brought a run in. I
think that should have brought in all the runners for that. Floyd is a very
important part of this outfield staff. We can' afford to lose him. Theriot and Lee are proving to be a key batting combination for
Lou and the Cubs. They work one with the other to score the extra run. Lee
has only hit one home run so far but he has come up with key hits to keep himself
on top of the best batting average list. When Lee starts aiming for the fences watch out. This team is
not in full throttle yet. They have just mearly open the doors. What is a come from behind win. When your team is losing and
your team steps up to the plate and hits 3 home runs and key base hits to
get runs across home plate. The Cubs finished up the rain suspended game
and won 8 – 6. Ted Lilly pitched 5 innings, struck out 5 and gave in to 5
Pirate runs. The Cubs bats came back and made the battle for him and his
outstanding play he made throwing some one out from slipping and falling.
Alfonzo Soriano is on his way with his first home run and hopefully many
more to come. Cliff Floyd hit one out into the water. “Take that Barry!!”
Jacque Jones hit one out to center that looked like a fly ball but it kept
carrying until it went out. The Theriot Lee run scoring combination came in and added some
extra runs in the eighth inning to make it hard for the Pirates to come
back. Cubs Win!! Next game, please.
Cubs Win!! Cubs Win!!
