So it's pretty much offical - when Soriano hits, the Cubs win. 3 bombs last night, and amazingly, thanks to a minor bullpen hiccup, the third was NOT the winning run. Normally, there would be freaking out in response to Samardzija and Wuertz giving up 5 ER without recording an out, but honestly the bullpen has been so solid all year (with the minor exception of one particular guy..cough.cough.Howry.cough..) one can't really overreact to bad outings by a rookie and a minor league pitcher. Which is basically what Wuertz is. This year, he's a minor leaguer. Period.
But the bats came alive, which is hopefully a sign of good times to come. Time will tell, but in the meantime we can take solace in that the Cubs are hitting the piss out of the ball, and the magic number is sinking...
Fewer and fewer minutes until October...
