The Beat(down) Goes On
GAME 29 Death Letter
Tonight Cedeno and Murton were back in the line-up and acting as the speed guys, and it still didn't help. Neither did Jones' golden sombrero from the clean-up spot. Sean Marshall sees another fine outing wasted as the Cubs slip below .500 for the first time this season.
Updating the unhappy totals:
* One run in the last three games (again)
* Two runs in the last five games: first time since June 15-20, 1968
* Four runs in the last six games: first time since June 16-22, 1968
* Six runs in the last eight games: first time ever (since 1901)
