That's more like it

Somehow, some way, the Cubs scored 10 runs last night in Denver without Aramis and Fonzie, with DLee going 0-5, and with only one quadrabagger. That's cool.

The 10-2 win for the Lovable Ones puts them just a 1/2 game behind the Brew Crew. The Cubs put an end to their four-game losing streak by exploding for 10 runs in the first four innings.

Coincidentally, Sweet Lou held a pregame team meeting and I don't know what he said but it sure worked. Jacque Jones went 4-5 with 4 RBI, DeRosa had three hits, Theriot scored two runs, Kendall had three hits and my man Felix Pie had a pair of doubles. That is a lot of contribution from a lineup that has been struggling.

Theodore Roosevelt Lilly won his 13th game by allowing only two runs in six innings. The new Nasty Boys, Wood, Marmol, and Howry, combined to strike out five in three hitless innings.

This might have been the best the Cubs have played all year and they did so at a time when they had been struggling and their opponents were Red Hot. Good Job boys keep it going tonight and let's pray that Jason Marquis doesn't get shelled.
