Cubs 18-14, -2.5 (2nd)
Reds 13-20, -8.0 (5th)
POTG: C Geovany Soto (HR, 2B, 3 H, BB)
Runner Up: SS Ryan Theriot (2H, 2B, BB, R, RBI)
I dunno: SP Ryan Dempster (6 IP, 0 ER but 5 R)
All I can think is if Mike Fontenot doesn't go home, Theriot walks him home, and Lee ties it up with the ground out. And if Fontenot turns a makable double play in the 3rd, 2 runs come off the board. I'm sure he knew all of this last night and felt horrible, but so does everyone else. He was the best player the last two game and continued his hit streak here, and the way the loss happened still over shadows all of that.
Quick thoughts
- At least Dempster pitched well
- DeRosa's really scuffling
- sending down Pie for another pitcher would be so dumb
- the short bench really could've hurt last night, but Pie got on.
- if Marshall needs to be stretched out, why not send him to Iowa, where he can actually start
- Soto is awesome
Cubs really need Z! to be a stopper here.
