Rob G’s Keys to the Game:
A quick review of last night's before we start.
Throw some damn strikes Z!
Check. Z pitches 6 mostly wonderful innings.
Stolen Bases are your friend!
Not so much. JJ walked in the first and Lee singled in the 5th presenting two opportunities but Lou chose to let his sluggers try to whack them in rather than risk the caught stealing.
Spy vs Spy!
Their bullpen shut the door, Marmol gave up 2 runs - and a game was lost.
For tonight:
Solve the Rubik's cube
Lefties have had our number and Doug Davis in particularly has beat us up pretty good over the years (7-5 with a 3.39 ERA for his career).
TLFC Super Computer better be right
One of our
favorite Cubs blogs around these parts predicts 6 IP, 2 ERs, 7Ks, 1 single. I'll take that.
Spy vs Spy the Rematch!
Just like the comic strip, it'll hopefully be our bullpen's turn to take the upper hand.
Sobering thought of the day: The Cubs have never won a playoff series where they dropped the first game. Of course there haven't been a lot of playoff series for us to win.
