In progress, bottom of the second. I missed the first inning, but Z left with lower back soreness.

Marcus Mateo pitching now, and the Giants are up 1-0.

Kerry Wood's wife is hot.

Mateo got out of a jam, corners with a 1-0 count and no out didnt give up a run

[Old Style]

Giants have runners on the corners with one out in the third.

[Old Style]

Mateo gets a key strikeout of Pat Burrell.

Popout to Castro to end the inning, Mateo gets out of it unscathed.

Mateo navigates his own jam.... 2 solid IP from him

Agreed. He's getting it done today. Going toe to toe with Matt Cain so far.

[Old Style]

Quade has the bullpen going. Hard to want to pull Mateo at this point, but his arm probably isn't stretched out enough to go much longer. Hate to see him unravel if they leave him out there too long.

[Old Style]

Mateo Ks Burrell again. He's seriously cruising.

[Old Style]

...And he gets Schierholtz to ground out for the final out.

Cubs need to put runs on the board, because our pitching is actually doing phenomenally well so far.

[Old Style]

Matt Cain is shutting us out pretty easily. We wasted a great opportunity in the 3rd inning, and haven't had many chances since.
