    I believe the 'runners left on base' count was something like 8-1, disadvantage White Sox, of course. I never really thought the game was over. You're right about Denks, though. He did pitch great. I was excited to Dotel come in the game. The Cubs used to do pretty good against him when he was an Astro.

    The only part I loved about the game was AJ hitting ANOTHER home run in wrigley field, lol.

    The part I loved was when A.J. was yappin' in the dugout after striking out in the top of the 9th on called check swing...BE GONE!!! :icon_lol:

    I'm surprised Bears 88 has not posted again in the thread yet. :icon_cheesygrin:

    Nice win today. Marquis was his usual shaky self but the Cubs gave him enough runs to work with. I did not like the pitching matchups all that well in the first two games so to already have the series win clinched, it feels good. After that debacle of a series in TB, the Cubs needed to get back on track and they have done that.

    Hadn't watched baseball in awhile. Swisher looks like he dropped about 25 pounds.

    Yeah, I bet you got a kick out of that yesterday! :icon_rolleyes: We'll see what happens today!! :icon_biggrin:

    I didn't really notice. Why? Was he bigger in Oakland? Did he used to look like he had the same pharmicist (Oops, I'm sorry! I meant, same health nutrition consultant) as Roger Clemens or something? :icon_cheesygrin:
