His game ERA. The overall ERA is 3.53 that's what he meant. Sarcasm. it was more of an FYI for other posters... I'm pretty sure that everyone knows his ERA isn't 22.50 Not everyone. I was sitting here with someone who actually asked if that was true
I just heard that Fontenot is at SS, DeRosa's at 2B, Floyd's in RF and Bowen C. My lineup guess Soriano, LF Fontenot, SS Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B Floyd, RF DeRosa, 2B Bowen, C Pie, CF Hill
I'm more worried about tomorrow than Sunday. Marquis will probably give up 3-4 to their offense, but I think the offense has a good chance to do that to Bush as well. I'm not sure what they are going to do against Sheets-he has allowed only 6 runs in his last 5 outings combined. The Cubs beat Sheets earlier in the year, scoring 5 ER, when he was coming off of a complete game 2 hitter (1 R). We'll see what happens tomorrow but I am encouraged by the Cubs hitting of late. True, but that was basically a bad inning for Sheets and then he locked it down. Granted, sometimes you just need that one bad inning, but it's not like the Cubs were hitting him all game. I think the Cubs hitters had something to do with the inning... EDIT: I just took a look at that game and Sheets never really had the opportunity to coast. The Cubs had 12 hits (9 against Sheets). He also gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. They scored 2 runs in the 2nd and 3 runs in the 6th. Plus, they had at least one hit in 4 of the 6 innings.

LaChoke Hawkins strikes again! The Rox scored 3 run in the top of the 8th only to see LaChoke give up 3 runs in the bottom of the inning. Their stupid play at the end extended the inning with 2 outs (where have we seen that before?).
