3rd inning, the Cubs season flashes before my eyes as Juan Pierre plows into Derek Lee at first. This happened a couple of years ago…when the Cubs were also playing well, and Lee was out for a while…and there went the season. It might have even happened at Dodger Stadium. Thankfully Pierre is 120 pounds soaking wet.

Either follows with a hit to continue the rally…but thankfully porn-stache owner Jeff Kent raps into a double play as the crowd erupts (yes, this is Dodger stadium, but half the people here have to be Cub fans).

Lowe is spinning a no-hitter through 4 (jinx intended). I don’t have the numbers to back this up in front of me…but Lowe has always seemed to give the Cubs a hard time.

Dodgers rallying in the 4th, 2 on 2 out and who’s (Dodgers Short-Stop Chin-Lung Hu…but close enough) at home. This gets me thinking, there have to be a million ways you can use or misuse Hu’s name. He rolls weakly to Derek Lee. The game is really moving quickly as we are on to the 5th.

Bye-Bye, No-No, Soto-Soto loops one to right and the Cubs have something going.

Fontenot bunts the runners to 2nd and 3rd. One out for Reed Johnson. Speaking of using the bunt, I am still puzzled why Torre did not bunt Loney to 3rd in the bottom of the 9th on Friday. Nobody out, runner at 2nd, trailing by one, at home…that is a must bunt situation, unless your best hitter is coming up. Don’t know why I am complaining, I think that is what enabled the Cubs to win that game…guess I am a baseball purist, even more then a Cubs fan. As I pontificate, Reed Johnson raps to Short and Fukadome scores from 3rd. Cubs lead 1-0.
