Cubs are on a mission

6/09/2007 8:45 AM

Since Lou's show and Barrett and Zambrano's fist fight the Cubs have turned things up a notch. A lot of it has to do with the big investment in Soriano. Let's not over shadow last nights pitching either. Marshall was not awesome but he kept the Braves to one run and that is what pitching is mostly about. It is not strikeouts or ERA it is about keeping the ball in the park and runners from touching home plate. Marshall only gave up one last night and Ohman, Murmol and Wuertz kept the Braves at bay by striking out 2 and allowing only 2 hits and no runs through 3 innings.

While Soriano was having a big night Barrett came up and hit one of his own to add to the 9 - 1 victory over the Braves.

Lilly gets roughed up by the Brewers big bats

6/5/2007 8:30 PM

Lilly couldn't come through as he gave up 6 runs and only struck out 2 in 5 innings of work. Three of the Brewers found something in Lilly's delivery as they took his pitches for a ride. The bull pen gave up a run but kept the Brew crew in tact for the most part.

The Cubs tried to come back as Floyd contributed a jack of his own but 5 runs could not match the 7 runs the Brewers scored.

The Cubs were a bit over matched in this game but Lilly didn't seem to have his arm action going for him as the Brewers were able to spot his sweet curve balls that can be hit right to go out of the park.

The Cubs continue charge as they defeat the Brew crew

6/4/2007 8:15 PM

Jason Marquis didn't have his prime stuff but he managed the Brewers for 6 innings by striking out 3 and giving up only 2 runs. Carlos Murmol, Wil Ohman and Michael Wuertz handled the Brewers for 3 innings to help Marquis out. They gave up only 1 hit and struck out 3. Ryan Demster came in and closed the game out to keep himself true.

The star of the show was Soriano in his 5 for 5 with a home run game. Soriano is starting to heat up since his buddy Felix Pie has returned to the line up to fill in for Daryle Ward. Soriano, Lee, Ramirez and Izturiz worked together by scoring the RBIs to get the Cubs the 7 - 2 win over the first place Brewers.
