5/31 Rockies (Rusch) @ Cubs (Dempster) 12:05 CSN & WGN Radio

[Fred Hornkohl]

Dempster sacrificed, 5-4, Johnson to third

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 15-4 when they execute a sac bunt.... 15-17 when they don't

 

 

Gop CUBS !!

[haubrich91]

Big day for Alfonso.

 

5-2

[Hairyducked Idiot]

The downside is, after yesterday, I don't feel safe with any lead.

[bcruise]

Taveras is getting a nice workout today. :lol:

[genbar]

Awesomeness, Sori with the RBI

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano singled to center field , Johnson scored

[mlarner]

SWEET! Lets tack on a few more here!

[illiniguy]

How fun would this year be if St. Louis would wake the hell up?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Nice hustle from Soriano and Theriot to prevent the DP.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Theriot grounded into a FC, 4-6, Soriano out at second

[rawaction]

For someone who apparently can't hit in RBI situations, Soriano sure does have a crapload of RBIs. He'd be leading the team had he not missed 2 weeks.

Seriously, think about it - if I told you before the start of the season that on May 31st, the Cubs would have a 7.5 game lead over Milwaukee, you'd think we'd be running away with the divsion.

Because they should be. St. Louis should be a .500 club, not a .600 one.

I think that fact is a testament to how awesome our 6-7-8 hitters have been so far this year.

IMO, they shouldn't even be at .500

Damned near.

Well, they have Pujols. I figure he would keep them around that mark. Plus they always play better than they should. But, this year is just ridiculous. Even my friends and family who are Cardinals fans think this is ridiculous.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Helton homered to left field

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 7-5 when the opponent hits at least 2 HRs.... 23-16 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!
