Live Blog - Fourth Inning

Aoki got a bunt single.  This guy really kills the Cubs, but he is a good player and a good leadoff hitter.  Interesting the Cubs might have gone after him as a free agent instead of David DeJesus.  I'm not saying DeJesus is a bad player, but Aoki is clearly better.

Jackson's back to being bad.  Bases loaded, but he escapes by inducing a double play from Weeks.  Four innings, 73 pitches.  He's got maybe one more inning in him.  Estrada is at 51 after three.  If all the Cubs were a little more patient, they might be able to break through against him.

Scherholtz comes up with a bloop double.  Aoki is playing way too deep in right field.  What shaped up as an easy inning for Estrada turned into a bit of a grind as he had to throw six pitches to Castillo to get a hard ground out.  No runs though.
