After a 8 game losing streak the Cubs were finally able to write the ship, beating the Giants 8-1 at San Francisco. Bonds was held hitless (0-for-3) by Carlos Zambrano (1-2), who went the distance to grab his first win of the season. He pitched 8 innings and gave up 1 earned run on 5 hits and 5 walks while striking out 6. The Cubs sure needed the victory just as much as Zambrano.
Jacque Jones came through in the clutch with a 2-run blast to right field, going 3-for-3 with 4 RBIs. He's must be a producer like this on a more regular basis. His bat will have an impact on the average of runs scored per game until the Cubs find another source(s) of offense.
Reports claim the Cubs have put negotiations with Jeff Conine on hold. I don't know why the club's management thinks this is the right fit over at first. He's a decent hitter at best and can't give the Cubs the punch they're in dire need of in the lineup. It would be nice if the GM and owner would start using their heads for something better than a hat rack because this team is in jeopardy of another poor season. Come on guys get your ass in the freaking game!
