a check for $101.50 and on the same day sent us a statement saying we owed them $101.58. The 8 cents was the interest on the 101.50 we owed.

pinch hitting for the Strohs. Gathright in center for the cubs, Johnson to right. I presume Sori is still in left, or maybe the Cubs have pulled the goalie.

Another nice victory
Harden looked shaky early but dominant late. Offense in the first inning was all the Cubs needed. And they took advantage of some gifts.
Here’s hoping Lilly doesn’t get smacked around like he did last time in Houston and they get the sweep.

Had forgotten about that. Had to put out Marmol’s fire and then shut ’em down in the 9th, as well.

I still hate seeing all those guys LOB
but at least we’re getting them there, and pushed enough over. Nice game by Harden.
Theriot - interesting note
He’s only the second player in the past 70 years to end a home run drought of at least 600 at-bats by homering in consecutive games, joining former Cub Gene Clines more than 30 years ago.
