A blowout win | Author: Carlos
The Cubs blew out an opponent. Wonder how many games passed before our last broad-margin win? Well, I shall inform you.
Thirty seven, since the Cubs won this one in Wrigley Field, 11 to 1.
Back to tonight’s game, JeroWilliams finally pitched a good game at Wrigley field and led the team to win 10-1 against the Atlanta Braves; the opposition fought and really tried to get back in the game but solid outings by the bullpen shut them in two innings of work.
JeroWilliams (4-6) allowed one run and three hits in 7 2/3 innings, his longest outing this season. The lone run against was a towering shot to the bleachers by Andruw Jones, his fortieth.
The Cubs looked good, and though they left many men on base, managed to score ten runs, four of those driven in by a Jeromy Beernitz grandslam, his first as a Cub. Michael Barrett also drove in multiple runs, two, with a bases loaded double in the ninth.
Atlanta Braves starter John Thomson (3-4) had his second bad start in a row and allowed five runs on seven hits. He walked three and struck out two.
And so the Cubs start winning again.
Also, I’d like to link to Lingering Bursitis, one of the most entertaining, well written Cubs weblogs — great work, guys. You obviously put on a lot of effort and enthusiasm into it.
