It Was a Long, Rainy Night

The Cubs withstood a 3 hour rain delay before their game against the Mets began. By the end, they wished that the Game had been postponed. A dismal showing from the offense and pitching made for a painful, long game.

Game Summary for May 16th, 2007

• Score: Cubs lost a rainy one to the Mets, 8-1.
  
• Player of the Game: Cliff Floyd. Had one of only two Cubs hits, and the only RBI.
• Subject of Lou's Wrath: Rich Hill. He's losing the spark he had before, and this game was pretty terrible. Gave up 4 runs in 6 innings. He needs to get back on track.
  
• Comments: Not much to talk about here. Jorge Sosa was very solid, and Rich Hill wasn't. Neither was our bullpen, but that's not a surprise. Neal Cotts had an especially bad night, giving up 3 runs in his one inning of pitching and skyrocketing his ERA to 3.31.
  
• Magic Number: 130. The Brewers are on a 4 game losing streak, and we can't capitalize on it.

Today, actually right now, Angel Guzman is making his third start against Julio Vargas, who is making his first start of the year. Let's win this one, split the series, and get some momentum going into the big crosstown classic.
