Game 144-146: Dodgers @ Chicago Cubs 8:9 (11 inngs), 6:0, 5:6
We must have taken two out of three and we failed to do so. Especially given the number of chances that the Dodgers were presented with to even sweep the Cubs. Let's name some:
(1) A 7-0 lead through three innings in Game one with Derek Lowe on the mound;
(2) 6 errors by the Cub fielders in Game one;
(3) A 5-2 lead in the sixth in Game three;
(4) Great starts by Brad Penny and Hong-Chih Kuo, with the latter being blown by the bullpen;
The funny thing is the San Diego Padres did manage to fulfil their goal and took two out of three from the Reds. Which has several implications which I'm going to tackle in the very next post.
To finish on a positive note however - is JD Drew seeing the ball beter lately? Him and Raffy Furcal, even when they made out in Chicago, at least seemed to have that psychological makeup of "getting after the pitchers".
