The Cubs were on their way to wrapping up their second consecutive win with a 3-1 lead entering the 9th. Kerry Wood faltered, giving up a 2-run double into deep right field by Ryan Braun as the Brewers went ahead 4-3. These type of games sting a little after a 19-5 blowout the previous day. Kerry just had an unfortunate outing and has to look past it as he's been pitching quality innings in 13 relief appearances with 2-1 record. These Brewers, Cubs series always are kind of weird anyway. It's either a late inning comeback or a slaughter. Carlos Zambrano received a no-decision, which stinks yet he showcased his power stroke with his first homer of the season.
To closeout April with a 17-11 record is an improvement for the Cubs. They're normally around .500 and scuffling at home. Definitely a positive turnaround from last season's start. I like the effort from Theriot and Fukudome in the game Thursday, accounting for 7 of the 11 hits in the lineup. Eventually these two will be scoring a ton of runs for the Cubs when the offense falls in place and gets into a rhythm. I have a feeling this Cubs team will explode for several big scoring games. I'd like to see Soriano rediscover the pop this weekend with Lee and Ramirez following suit. Rich Hill will push for his second win against Adam Wainwright (3-1). Alright, Cubs LET'S GET SOME RUNS AND PULL OUT A WIN!
