Keppinger swings at a 2-1 pinch on the hands and flies out. Way to help him. I hate that stupid little hop Soriano does when he catches a flyball. I'd love to see him do that in a playoff game and drop a flyball.

Damn. Kepp pops out to LF. A base hit there would've been SWEET.
Juan Castro is now batting second.......i mean even JK pitch selection has gone south.
Soriano homers again. Cueto just isn't sharp tonight. He was dominant his last few starts before the injury but his stuff isn't that good tonight. I just don't understand why they brought him back.
3-1 Cubs after 4 1/2.
Phillips shows his great patience by leading off the 5th with a weak groundout on the first pitch.
Hoffpauir grounds out to begin the 6th. Cueto got ahead 0-2 on DeRosa but come back and walked him.
That's it for Cueto. Burton coming in.
Johnson singles after seeing three straight fastballs. First and third and only one out.
Burton K's Marquis....Soriano up with 2 on. He's 2 for 2 with 2 HR's.
Crap. 3 run HR...3rd homer of the game for Soriano. 6-1 Cubs.
Three homers for Soriano now - I've turned it off. I don't mind getting our brains beat out, but I can't stomach it sounding like it's Wrigley Field. Ugh!

Cueto ends up getting charged with five runs in 5.1 innings. I can't stand Soriano. I'd put one in his ribs next time up just for that stupid little hop he does.
Theriot flies out to mercifully end the inning. 6-1 cubs middle of 6.
Chubs fans are cheering now but the tears will be flowing soon when the Chubs get eliminated in the first round again this year.
