Wow! Despite another shakey base on balls filled performance from Jason “Don’t Even Think About Sending Me to the Bullpen or I’ll Demand a Trade” Marquis, the Chicago Cubs won their Ninth Game in a Row by defeating the San Diego Padres 9-6.
That puts the Chicago Cubs at 17 games above the 500 mark, still the best record in all of baseball!
Boy is this Fun!
The game highlights included home runs by Geovany Soto, Mark DeRosa and Alfonso Soriano, as well as some good old fashioned Cubs Bullpen Excitement. The Cubs bullpen (Kevin Hart tonight) have always known that no lead should be too secure because that wouldn’t be interesting. A win is a win in the record books though, I’ll take it!
The Cubs also pulled the double steal off on Michael Barret twice and stole two other bases from him. Lou Pinella had seen Barrett behind the plate for the Cubs in 2007 and must had savored the opportunity to run on him. You had to laugh, poor Barrett didn’t stand a chance.
Neither did the Padres.
GO CUBS!!!
