Sunday 3.2.08

The Cubs lost 8-6 to the Giants.

Since I made mention of Soto yesterday, he managed to commit and error.

Not much to cheer about. The team went 1 for 12 at the plate with runners in scoring position. Pie notched another round tripper.

Lilly was workmanlike in his two innings. 2 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, 2 strike outs. Hart and Marmol looked good.

Cotts continued his slide into unemployment, going 2/3 of an inning and giving up 3 hits, 5 earned runs and 5 walks.

Lilly, Ceda (in an otherwise decent inning), and Ascanio each posted a HBP.

Regarding the Marquis controversy, Piniella apologized and Marquis puts it down to a misunderstanding, though he did not retract (or regret, for that matter) what he had said. This is just a minor blip, but it can't be good for Marquis' mindset that he's thinking about his future failure.

Seattle is up next.
