Cubs counter losses with 2-0 shutout

Thanks in part to a sterling pitching performance the 2-0 victory was in the bag yesterday. Derek Lee launched his 27th homerun of the season as Lilly pitched a 8-inning hum dinger with 4 hits allowed and 5 Ks. The southpaw jumps to a 10-8 record. What riddles this team is the point in offense every time when the starting pitching can't make it happen. Behind again as in typical fashion the Cubs trail in the Central and keep falling behind since they fail to make new key acquisitions.

Carlos Marmol did the trick in one inning of relief and rendered no hits. When the bullpen is on point the rest comes natural. I don't like several moves that are made during the course of games yet don't watch every freaking home game on WGN. Frantically, it's not worth the time. Management always thinks they can sit back and watch the team slowly slide down the tube with nothing manufacturing into success. It's sucks to be a loyalist these days as a fan when you don't get your money's worth at games. If this Jewy ass way to turn deals continues for Chicago with horrible trades then I could care less to watch at all.
