Cubs take two out of three and kick the Sox out

5/20/2007 7:45 PM

Game 1 - Cubs Win 6 - 3

Ted Lilly pitched 7 innings struck out 6, walked 2 and only allowed three runs. Lilly got some help from the bats though as Michael Barrett jacked his sixth one of the season off of Buehrle. The Whitesox lead the game 2 -1 and made it 3 -1 in the 7th inning. The Cubs hitting came alive and score 3 three in the bottom half of the 7th and 2 more for insurance in the bottom half of the 8th. Dempster came in and regained his trust by shutting down any possible Whitesox offense.

Game 2 - Cubs surprise the Sox 11 -6

The Cubs fought a back and forth battle against the Whitesox as Marquis gave the Cubs 6 innings. It was not Jason's usual best pitching but the Cubs bats including his own home run helped things out. The Cubs were down 6 -5 in the 8th inning and it looked impossible to come back. The bases were loaded and DLee is coming to bat after trying to recover from a neck injury.

Lee jacked a grand slam that gave the Cubs an 11 - 6 lead to take the win.

Game 3 - Cubs give the Sox one plus a grand slam to the punk

If there is one thing that is so annoying it is the stupid Whitesox announcers. They sound like idiots when some one hits a home run from the Sox. Barrett got two home runs in this series but was silenced by a rookie pitcher as the rest of the Cubs were as well. Ramirez came through with 3 run home run off Aardsma. The cheap dealings of Cotts and Aardsma proved to be the worst trade for both teams. They should redo the trade.

The Cubs didn't wake up until 8th inning against Aardsma in the rain. Most of the runs were from Ramirez's three run homer but the rain was helping matters either.

The Cubs ended up dropping this one as Zambrano had given up 7 of the 10 runs in this game. Zambrano looked good once he got in his groove but he still doesn't look like he did last year. He looks like he is not working hard and he doesn't care. Where is the fire that he used to have?

All in all the Cubs take two from the Whitesox and gain a game on their division.

Tomorrow is a well deserved day off.
