Cubs offense struggles again
Well the Cubs lost their 5th game of the last 6 they have played. The offensive production was again not there while Lilly gave up 5 runs, two of the runs coming off a hit by pitcher Dan Haren. I can't believe what I am seeing from the Cubs right now. They are playing absolutely horrible. Lilly who had been pretty good so far this year gives up back to back two run doubles in the fourth inning to break the tie and not keep the Cubs in the ball game. Soriano once again showed his amazing ability to hit one of the first pitched thrown in the ball game by belting his 3rd 1st inning home run and 52nd of his career. Haren would go on to allow only two more hits (Fontenot, and Lilly of all people) and retire 20 of the last 21 batters. Fontenot's hit was also a home run but was not enough help. Someone has got to get Soto going!! He is batting a measily 119. Lee, Ramirez, and Bradley continue to sit on the bench from nagging injuries. Bradley at least got a pinch hit appearance last night signaling that maybe he will be back soon. But it won't do anything but hurt the Cubs since he struck out and dropped his batting average to 42....YES!! 42... COME ON CUBBIES!
