The Cubs are still playing the Cards right now. Top of the 11th, 2-2 tie. Lilly pitched a good game, going 7 1/3 innings and giving up just 2 runs - a solo shot in the third and one run in the 6th, which could have (and should have) been a much bigger inning for the Cards. Two homers by Edmonds got the Cubs two runs. Stick it to 'em, Jimmy.
It's been going well. DeRosa hit a granny on Wednesday to help power a Cub 11-4 smashing of the Astros. Soriano hit a 3-run dinger on Wednesday to put the Cubs up late in an eventual 11-7 victory. This all after a 2-0 loss to the 'Stros in the middle of that weather nightmare on Monday night, which gave Dempster his 5th loss of the year.
Prior to today's game, the Cubs sit 23 games over .500 with a stellar 69-46 record. Soriano has 20 hits in his last 11 games. DeRosa is hitting .355 (4 walks, 12 RBIs) in his last 10 games and 8 RBIs in his last 2 games. Edmonds has had 12 of 17 hits go for extra bases. Kerry Wood pitched and looked good. It's a good time for the Cubs to feel strong.
