Make that a sweep!
Thursday, August 5, 2004
Well Boston, we in Chicago know you are 'happy' to be rid of that clubhouse cancer, shell of himself, oft-injured shortstop... who blackmailed your organization with threats to go on the DL, or secret plans to demand a trade... but the Cubs are now 4-0 in the Nomar Garciappara (correctly spelled Garciaparra) era, and the only ones who still seem to care about what Nomar did or did not do are the sour-puss journalists, and CYA GM's and club Presidents based out of Boston.
The Cubs finished off the Rockies in Colorado and head back to San Francisco to face Barry Bonds and Dusty Baker's dog. Today's game was a fairly easy win, with Derrek Lee hitting his 22nd dinger of the year in the second inning, and Mark Prior throwing 6 scoreless innings.
The Cubs had a fairly close game going until Corey Patterson hit a solo shot in the sixth, and Paul Bako drove in two in the seventh. In the top of the ninth, Glendon Rusch poked in another run and looked set to complete the Cubs' 4th shutout of the year. However, a 9th inning double (that was scored as a triple) was turned into a run by Sammy Sosa booting the ball a couple of times in right field. The final score was 5-1.
Anyhow, the Cubs won, they swept the Rockies, and its on to San Francisco!
