Cubs' early lead wiped out by late rally
Soriano hits safely in career-high 16th consecutive game
Quote:
CHICAGO -- Where shall we start?
How about the first inning, when Alfonso Soriano got to third, but hesitated instead of trying to score on Derrek Lee's fly ball. Or the eighth when the Cubs had the bases loaded and one out, but Jacque Jones hit a sharp grounder to Pittsburgh first baseman Adam LaRoche, who threw home for the double play.
The end result was a bizarre four-hour, 39-minute game in which the Cubs stranded 10, went 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position, made three errors, several brain cramps and lost, 4-3, to the Pirates in 15 innings.
