While the windy city of Chicago lived up to it’s name tonight. It was the Cubs that blew away the Blue Crew this chilly night in Chi Town. With Media hype Surronding HIROKI KURODA and KOSUKE FUKUDOME they did not disapoint with KURODA going 7 with two runs one earned with seven hits and a loses. While FUKUDOME went 3 for 2 with a rbi and a couple good plays in right field. When in a corner you should be able to turn to your bullpen however this was not so for the dodgers tonight. Like CLAYTON KERSHAW’S first start the bullpen could not hold the LOU PINIELLA daring cubs.
In a game were a warm cup of coffee was a premium so to were runs. Knowing this PINIELLA was a bit more daring with his base runners it happened to pay off as the score as evidence. But when you look around for people to blame in this game you can not blame only one person. By evidence of the box score with only one player getting two hits that being ANDRE EITHER as well as the dodgers leaving 14 men on base. In the 8th inning with there best chance JAMES LONEY could not make contact with the bases loaded and when he did he hit just like last night a foul ball that danced with the foul line.
The Dodgers take the bus back to the hotel tonight and tomorrow they hope that DEREK LOWE can shake his poor pitching. He will be contested by CARLOS ZAMBRANO the considered ace of the cubs staff. Derek will need to keep his sinker ball low and will have to again lean on the shaky dodger hitting. We also will hopefully see the Return of JEFF KENT who was a last second scratch due to back spasms tonight.
