The Chicago Cubs did not need suspended slugger Derrek Lee Wenesday to slaughter the hapless San Francisco Giants. The final score was 12-1. It was Carlos Zambrano's 12th win, making him the first to reach that total in the National League.
Barry Bonds sat the game out, as did newly acquired Cubs catcher, Jason Kendall. Kendall's replacement, Koyle Hill came up big with five RBI. The win is a good sign for the surging Cubs, who crapped out to the Giants Tuesday night. The series concludes tomorrow afternoon and hopefully the Cubs can wrap up what should be another easy one, as a Brewer's win tonight would leave them four and a half back with a moderately tough stretch ahead.
As of now, however, Chicago is also only two and a half games behind San Diego for the wild card. If they can keep up their current chemistry and momentum, they have a good chance to make waves in the mediocrity that is American League's ugly stepsister.
