9/5: LA (Stults) at Cubs (Lilly); 7:05 pm CDT, ESPN, WGN

I love when a guy gets a lucky hit and he is treated as though he is clutch.

 

exactly. in any other situation, that's the classic 4-3

 

It would have scored that run no matter if the infield was in or back, so Jones did his job and against a lefty, that is amazing.

soriano with garbage time hits

 

not really garbage time at this point.

 

Kind of like ARod - sure his first 8th inning homer mattered, but the second was just selfish.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Finally the offense has awoken. I know it was just 2 games, but it felt like an 8 game losing streak.

[Brian]

how about they get the pitchers spot up and get Fuld an AB

[Butterscup1679666578]

Oh Len.

With 24 games left in the season, two games can sure feel like 8 games.

hernandez has to be like 47 years old

 

 

I think they said 46.

if only we could figure out a way to hit every ground ball through the infield, we'd be unstoppable

DeRosa agrees.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm amazed!

[PrimeTime]

Nice DeRo

[Post Count Padder]

8-2

[Butterscup1679666578]

this is the best inning of all time.

[Flames24Rulz]

I'll say it again. Please save some for tomorrow.

[weatherdood]

DERO!

[Derwood]

DeRosa starting to look like a bargain

[Guest]

brenly talks too much.

 

 

that was a cool camera angle where you could see soriano and the ball at the same time.

[KatJ]

Brew Crew wins - no ground to gain. :(

 

Ground to be gained on the Cards.

 

I'd think I'd rather have it that way than keeping pace with the Cards and gaining on the Brewers.

 

Next week is going to be a nail-biter.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Here comes Lee with the GIDP....

[IowaCubsFan]

I'll say it again. Please save some for tomorrow.

 

Why? These guys need all the BP they can get.

[Guest]

Oh Len.

Ok, who remembers that Derek Lowe game where he got tagged and then had a temper tanturm and cut himself on a chair?

[CyHawk_Cub]

I'll say it again. Please save some for tomorrow.

 

Eh, might as well make hay when we can....it doesn't happen often

[Little Slide Rooter]

After all those nail biters, the blow out was just what the doctor ordered.

[TheDude]

OFFENSE!!!!
