Cubs lay down

How sweet was yesterday's win? Sweetest of the year I think. The Pirates made four errors and left 33 (!) men on base. Who gives a damn? They scored 13 runs. That will do it every time.

Many good things happened yesterday. Benson put in six good innings. Jose Castillo had a big game. Bobby Hill walked and scored against his old team. Craig Wilson continued his torrid hitting. Jack Wilson had three hits and stole his second base. Even Chris Stynes had two hits. Our new favorite Bucco, Estaban Meadows, took care of business and saved the bullpen. Tomorrow the Bucs can throw the best of everything at the Cubs.

Life is good. No complaints here.

Oh yeah. We also made a huge pile of money.

...commenter Dave is right: how can you leave 33 men on base in 9 innings? Don't ask me. But that's what this boxscore suggests. This one says they left no one on base. This one also says 33 LOB. Hmmm.

... the actual number was 16. The NL record is 18.
