The Cubs are still the only major league team to avoid a three game losing streak all year. They were in danger today, having lost their last two against the Dodgers. Jason Marquis and Mark DeRosa made sure of that.
Marquis gave up only one run, unearned, in six plus innings. DeRosa hit a solo shot in the first, then added an RBI and a run scored in later innings. He was involved in all three of the Cub scores.
Kerry Wood picked up his eighteenth save in 22 tries. That makes eight straigth save opportunities that Woody has converted. The conversation about whether or not to keep him in the closer role seems to have died down.
The Cubs will take today off and prepare for a three game set against the Braves. Then they head back on the road for interleague play.

I sense that you are losing steam. The posts are getting shorter and taking longer after the games ... errrrr ... wins to be posted.
I think the GM is going to make a deadline trade to acquire a blogger with more time on his hands to complete the job.
Just call Show your version of Rick Sutcliff.
Obviously kidding about the last part, but you do seem to be tiring.
I don't understand the Rick Sutcliffe comment.
As for late and short posts, guilty. This weekend got away from me. I thought I could do Saturday on Sunday and then the ESPN game during. Instead I went to Sean's to drink.
The shortness had a little to do with what, IMHO, were boring games. Not a lot of hits, nor lead changes.
I tried to do a Braves preview yesterday but ran out of time at work and never posted it.
