Yeah right. Despite staging a furious comeback to make this game much more interesting than it should have been, the Cubs lost 7-5 to the Orioles last night in which no less than five Cubs had an opportunity to take this game. And not one did.

Let's start with Sean Marshall, recently recalled from his exile to AAA Iowa. He did not look sharp at all, giving up four runs in 4 2/3 innings. Interestingly, he sailed through the first three innings, before running into all sorts of problems in the fourth. First on a RBI triple -- yes, it can happen a Wrigley -- given up to Luke Scott that scored Kevin Millar and Ramon Hernandez. Then in the 5th, the RBI single given up to Kevin Millar, which allowed Nick Markakis to score the second run of the inning, was enough to chase him for good. Carlos Zambrano is expected to miss at least another start, and I have to think that Jon Lieber -- who was effective in an inning of work last night -- might be a candidate for a spot start. Marshall just did not look ready for prime time, and it wouldn't surprise me if he was sent back down in short order after last night.

Down 7-1 going into the 7th -- the run from a Kosuke Fukudome shot in the 4th -- the Cubs staged a rally to make the last few innings very interesting. First Jim Edmonds, who I think is officially out of everyone's doghouse, hit a three-run homer in the 7th. Then Aramis Ramirez singles in the 8th inning to score Fukudome. And that's when the anti-heroes returned.

Matt Murton, pinch hitting for Edmonds in the 8th, flies out to left with Derrek Lee on 2nd base, killing the rally. Then in the 9th, after loading the bases with no one out....nothing. Ronny Cedeno? Strikeout. Kosuke Fukudome? The same. Henry Blanco, never a good hitter to begin with? One more strikeout for good measure. One player put the bat on the ball, and we're probably celebrating a huge comeback win. They didn't, instead allowing George Sherrill to pick up the most well-deserved save that I can recall in recent memory. And Lou? Must he always play the lefty/righty matchup? Edmonds, hitting a big home run just the inning before, lifted for Murton? Is Patterson so bad vs. lefties that it justifies pinch hitting him with you light-hitting backup catcher? Debate that for awhile as we wait for tonight. I assure you everyone else was on the train home last night. In the meantime, check out the game photos from last night in the media gallery.
