Hey, at least the Cubs are consistant.

 

And with tonight's performance, and maybe one more good performance by Maddux, I think the Cubs should get a very good deal for Maddux.

Braves score in top of first in their quest to score 10 or more runs for the 6th consecutive game ( current 5 game streak the longest since 1930).

[Fred Hornkohl]

Nevin, pinch hitting for Eyre, walked

[Fred Hornkohl]

Miller in to pitch for Houston

[Mizzou]

Braves score in top of first in their quest to score 10 or more runs for the 6th consecutive game ( current 5 game streak the longest since 1930).

Did that game just start? It rained here earlier, but I didn't know it was still raining in the city.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Brenly said, "I'm sure Nevin would have like to have swung the bat there and make something happen." Well, even if hit a home run it would have been a solo homer. A walk is making things happen as well.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre bunted out to third, 5-3
