The Team Gets an "A" Today
Pitching and defense wins championships and the Cubs were solid on both fronts.
Lilly gave them 7 strong innings and Marmol and Wood came in and finished the job.
No errors, and the team came from behind against one of the teams that will be there in the playoffs.
This is one of those wins I have been hoping to see from the Cubs: Beating a contender in a close game with great pitching and solid defense.
Way to go boys!!!!!
Quick Assesment
First off, what a great win to start the homestand. We needed this bad, getting a close win against a good team.
I have three positives to take from this game
1. Ted Lilly’s pitching performance. We’ve seen a couple different Ted Lillys so far this season, but today was a Lilly I hope to see more and more. He was under control and threw first pitch strikes. I was pleased to see after the Young HR he didn’t get rattled. Settled in and threw a great ballgame.
2. Alfonso Soriano. Yes, he’s still having issues at the plate, but he really came through for us today and provided the winning RBI. I am really hoping this will get him moving in the right direction. I don’t know who posted it earlier, I’m sorry, but they had a great point. Soriano will not continue this poor performance all year. I am willing to let his track record speak for itself and this guy can flat out play. He needs a spark and I hope today was what he needed.
3. Kerry Wood. IIRC 12 pitches ALL Strikes. Wood closed down a tight game with the swagger of a legitimate closer today. Let him round into this position. This guy has a great shot at becoming a consistent 35+ saves a year closer.
Great game, lets roll it into the weekend!
"What a great call! Your doing a fantastic job, but people expect me to come out here and be upset. So I'm gonna kick some dirt, you understand?" - Lou Pinella
nine, actually.
