Even though they couldn't complete the rally, I'm really proud of how the Cubs got back into that game. They had no business doing so against the O's best relievers but they were patient and got some timely hits. (Edmonds, wow) I would have let Edmonds bat against Sherril though just because he had been hot and had HRed off a lefty on Saturday, and Murton has been terrible but would have been a better option in the 9th. As far as the 9th, we ran into a bad spot in the lineup after we loaded the bases. Cedeno has been pretty bad lately, looking like the 2006 Ronny. That AB was one of the worst I've ever seen. Kosuke was just overmatched by a tough lefty, and after his AB I don't blame Lou for PHing Blanco, the only RH option he had left. If we had Lee/Ramirez coming up, I think we win last night. Hopefully they are pissed off and come out strong tonight.
