How far did it fly? Don’t care

How do you like that, Florida Marlins!!!! Doesn’t feel so good when you allow eight runs late in a game you thought was all but won, right?!?!?!
(Yeah, you’re right. Nothing will make up for The Game Which Cannot Be Mentioned, even nearly five years later.)
But a great point from Sunday’s 9-2 Cubs victory over the Marlins was that the Chicago National League Ball Club had no homers in its eight-run seventh.
From the Yahoo! Play-By-Play recap:
| - M. Fontenot doubled to deep right |
| - R. Johnson singled to center, M. Fontenot to third |
| - J. Edmonds hit for R. Dempster |
| - R. Pinto relieved C. Volstad |
| - C. Ross in right field |
| - A. Amezaga in center field |
| - M. DeRosa hit for J. Edmonds |
| - J. Edmonds walked, R. Johnson to second |
| - A. Soriano doubled to deep left, R. Johnson and M. Fontenot scored, M. DeRosa to third |
| - R. Theriot grounded out to pitcher |
| - D. Lee intentionally walked |
| - A. Ramirez doubled to left, M. DeRosa and A. Soriano scored, D. Lee to third |
| - K. Fukudome hit sacrifice fly to center, D. Lee scored |
| - G. Soto intentionally walked |
| - R. Cedeno hit for M. Fontenot |
| - L. Kensing relieved R. Pinto |
| - R. Cedeno walked, A. Ramirez to third, G. Soto to second |
| - R. Johnson doubled to deep left, A. Ramirez, R. Cedeno and G. Soto scored |
| - M. DeRosa grounded out to third |
The Cubs are making opposing staffs work. A lot.

Great point Tony! I’m glad they seem to have gotten off the “crush the ball” mentality and play as a team! All they really need to do is consistantly hit singles and doubles. As we’ve seen . . . they work great as a team!!!

Welllll … I think there’s still times when several of the middle-of-the-order guys try to swing out of their spikes. But they are working counts much, much better.
