Cubs Win 8th In A Row

Cubs-7
Padres-6
Finally got the MLB.tv package hooked up at home so I'll be more in tune with the Cubs and whatnot for the rest of this season. Actually, since moving to Minnesota at age 5, 2005 was the only season I was able to catch every Cubs game (thanks to Direct TV), however, thanks to bartending, I never had a chance to watch the games.
Got home from the Twins-Yankees game last night in time to catch the Cubs grab the lead in the 5th. With the exception of the hiccup in the first (again, I didn't see it), Zambrano pitched average but still picked up the victory and moved to 8-1 and moving him to second in the NL in wins behind Brandon Webb (10).
Kerry came in in the 9th and picked up his 15th save (5th in their 8 game streak), thanks in no part to (an overworked?) Carlos Marmol. Surprised I didn't see Eyre come in instead of Marmol who gave up a three run home run to Adrian Gonzales in the 9th.
And how about the final out of the game? I thought Barrett tied it up--exhale.
Not even one game into the MLB.tv experience and I already got a look from the girlfriend after slammed my hand into a pillow following Theriot's RBI single in the 6th...she seemed irritated by the end of last season and I didn't even have access to too many games. Stay tuned, this could get interesting.
