Cubs @ Marlins August 1st 6:05 WGN

[mattbulls]

I hate Florida

[SpinninHouse]

Big Z on the mound. We need a win. The Cards are surging behind Holliday, who is going ballistic. A win tonight would put us in position to win the series tomorrow. Bradley has an OBP nearing .400 at this point, Soriano is on one of his streaks, and Aramis is hitting really well, too.

Cubs 5, Marlins 4.

Zambrano 7 IP, 3 ER, 6 K, 3 BB.
Soriano 1-4, 1 HR (2 RBI)
Bradley 1-3, 2 BB
Fontenot 0-5
Lee 1-3, 2 BB
Ramirez 2-5, 2 RBI
Gregg 1 IP, 1 BB, 1 K, Save

Nice 1st inning. Still have to put up a few more runs for me to feel comfortable.

[mattbulls]

If Aramis plays for the rest of the year will he qualify for a batting title???

He's on pace for around 400 Plate Appearances, you need 500 to qualify.

[Posey H8er]

He needs 502 plate appearances to qualify (3.1 per game). I'll try to find out how many he has currently.

[SportsWorld]

Well a 3 run lead should be enough with our "ace" on the mound. Of course here come the walks.

[mattbulls]

I love Lee!

[SportsWorld]

Nice play by Lee
