Carlos Marmol: Live Cubs Game Blog

Had Derek Lee not grounded into a double-play, it would have been great. Lilly looked like the third-inning-and-beyond Lilly and both Fukudome and Theriot looked good.  Too bad with runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs the Cubs could only get one.  Oh well, there are another eight innings for those other 99 runs.  Go Cubbies!

The Cubs just blew it with Fukudome up and the bases loaded. Yeah, I could blame Fukudome for bouncing into a double play but I’d rather blame Soriano who maybe needs a reminder that second base IS SCORING POSITION. Ramirez singles to RIGHT and Soriano doesn’t even attempt to get home. Whatever. Get rid of him.
