Cubs Win! Cubs Win!
HOLY COW!And what a win. Final score: 16-6.
Check out these lines:
Patterson: 3-5, 2 RBI, 2 R
Walker: 3-4, RBI, 2 R
Nomar: 2-5, 2 RBI, 2 R
Ramirez: 3-4, HR, 4 RBI, 4 R (can we resign him every day?)
Burnitz: 3-6, R
Lee: 4-6, HR, 2 2B, 5 RBI, 2 R
The only blemish was Zambrano's wildness. He'd thrown 106 pitches in 4 2/3 innings, and got himself in enough trouble that Dusty hooked him before he could qualify for the win. And when Dusty pulls you, he absolutely had to. Worse was that he mouthed off to the ump and got tossed. If he finishes the season 19-9, he'll remember this.
Other than that, allow me to wallow in unfettered optimism. We're on pace for a 162-win season.
I'm surprised virtually nobody else liveblogged the game except me and Grace & Wayne. Like me, he had issues with Blogger's server, AND he had to leave before the end of the game. Freaky.
