“I Opened My Eyes
From A Night Like No Other
Was I Dreamin’ Or Is This Real….”
Carlos Zambrano’s performance yesterday was certainly “a night like no other”.
Today the Cubs continued to press at Miller Park. Ted Lilly pitched a magnificent one hitter through 7 innings. Well, one and a half hits. But it was still a magnificent performance. One hit, nine Ks, 1BB and 0 earned runs in his 15th win of the season. The Cubs bullpen maintained the one hitter for the rest of the game. What a treat.
The Cubs’ bats were alive today as well. Six runs. Home runs by Dee Lee, Geovany Soto & Jim Edmonds. Cubs won 6-1.
Playing the series in Milwaukee was a blessing. Having both games televised was almost too much to take.
Cubs are 8 games ahead with 2 weeks to go. Magic number for the division is 6. Four game win streak. They seem to have their mojo back.
Am I dreamin’ or is this real?
First time in MLB history that a team has been held to one hit by one team in two games (back to back). Truly this team is showing that they are special.
