As for the goat, Eyre have to say, that while Lilly had his Wuertz performance, in my Hart, it Wood have to be Aramis Ramirez, who was just a big black hole right in the middle of the order tonight. Daryle Ward, Wood and Dempster where about the only bright spots in this otherwise craven surrender in Arizona. I totally agree with you that the Cubs are not being patient at the plate, and in tight ballgames late, you just can never see them coming back from a big deficit. On this front, no one is more guilty than Soriano. If Lilly had as many strikeouts as Soriano over the last two games we would have won this one no problem. But at least Soriano occasionally gets on base. A-Ram has frankly just sucked. But I still believe we can turn this thing around in Chicago. I hope the Cubs do too.
