07/18 Houston (Oswalt) @ CUBS (Marmol) 7:05 cdt CSN TV

Wow. Len (I believe it was him) just said that the Braves, with 10 runs tonight, have become the first team since the 1930 New York Yankees to score 10+ runs in 5 straight games. The Braves have now scored 61 runs in the last five games and today's game is only in the 5th inning.

 

St. Louis' pitching seems to go in some pretty awful spurts.

 

The Padres didn't hold the Braves down in the first three games of the stretch either.

 

Yeah that's true, but I also remember the same Cardinals staff giving up something like 20 and 14 runs in back-to-back games against the Sox a few weeks ago.

 

Mulder was hurt. At least he is an excuse.

 

fixed

Currently 13-1........Braves winning in the bottom of the sixth.....Marquis gave up 12 runs in his outing, but I'm not sure how many were earned.

 

All of them.

LaRussa must really have confidence in his bullpen.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-19 when the opponent's starter pitches 6-1/3 inning or less.... 10-38 when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Barret is absolutely SMOKING hot. Let's trade him phil rogers because his silver sluggeresque offense doesn't make up for his defense.
