Box. Cubs drop to 8-5, Dodgers are up to 7-8.

Whom to pick for POTG last night has been bugging me for a good 14 hours now. Carlos had a 6 IP, 1 R game last night, but he walked 5 and hit one in the process, making this seem less like him getting back on the right path and more like a mirage.

The only other person I can figure is Jacque (Yahoo’s pick), but if your POTG is POTG for hitting 2 singles, scoring no runs (pinch runner – and I’m not sure he would’ve gone 1st to 3rd like Bynum did) and still hitting about 150, that’s not much of a POTG.

With regret, I’ve come to my decision.

POTG: vacant

For all the talk the first two games about a better hitting envoirment in Chavez Ravine this year because of the stadium changes, it sure hasn’t played out that way this series. Dodgers have 3 runs on 9 hits over 2 games, and they’re not that bad. Then again, it is only 2 games.

Taking today’s game and the series would be nice, but I don’t like our chances tonight. Sports books have the Dodgers as a +142 favorite. The under/over is 8, and if you’ve got faith in Marshall not going Kaboom, that’s tempting.

I don’t think I’m going to make it to the end of tonight’s game, but I’ve got a crazy plan to record the game off Gameday Audio and listen to it on my iPod tommorow morning. I’ll see how it goes.
