Overflow Thread 2: Cubs vs. Reds, Wednesday 7/9, 7:05 CT

It just seems like the last two nights the cubbies have been doing it all right. I think that the trades and such may have lit a fire and the boys are saying “This is our division”. They seem to be playing with a little more fire the last two nights is all.

it helps that they're playing at home

wrigley is chock full of magic this season… 35-10!!!

Don't break out the champane yet

This game shouldn’t have even been close…...I’m not carping b/c they wwon…

But a 10/19 LOB….a lot of uncconverted ops….
and MARMOL’s got to start throwing STRIKES.

The best defense is a good offense

by kcjones on Jul 9, 2008 11:38 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

three of those ten

were in the bases loaded with two outs rally inning. Just saying; they scored a lot.

Marmol… needs to figure it out. Don’t know how he does that without playing…

It was one of Z’s best outings. So glad to see that there is no hangover from being on the DL. It wasnt even the best stuff that i have seen from him. I laughed when I saw his slow curve. It’s the first time I have seen him throw that in a long time. He even had a smile after the pitch.

Some facts...

...we are 4.5 ahead in the division, the biggest lead tied with the Angels’ 4.5 lead. We are 19 games over .500, the high watermark of the season is 20 games, last reached on June 24. We are tied for the most wins (55), and 2nd least losses (36). And our run differential is at +110, best in the bigs, second is Boston with +91. Cardinals are +16 and the Brewers, +9.

questions for ya

is Kosuke( I call him Kookie) just in an adjustment phase? he has been striking out a bit lately

and do you think D. Lee has lost a bit of his pop for good? he has been stuck on 15 homers for awhile now…..and isnt it amazing that soriano has 15 homers and hasnt played in a month? i cant wait for him to come back

The league has caught up

With kookie the issue (I believe) is that the league has caught up a little. Been able to scout him much more and figured out what he is and what he isnt. That being said, he is a professional and will make his own adjustments. I think I saw tonight he was at .290 or so. His first year in the league I would take it. And It think he is hitting higher with RISP. He will make adjustments, pitchers will make adjustments. He is a fun hitter to watch though, that is for sure
