Pirates 7 Cubs 5

As previously mentioned, I saw none of this game. I hope you'll understand that that fact causes me to doubt its existence. Consider that all of the following supposedly took place:

• Chris Duffy hit not one, not three, but two homers.
  
• BP Chacon hit an RBI double
  
• Scott Moore and Carlos Marmol both hit homers (career at-bats before today: 24 combined with only 5 career hits between the two of them).
• Get ready for this one, BP Chacon, 5 Ks, 2 walks. Also, six innings pitched, the longest start of his Pirate career. So it's not quite an Oliver Perez shutout, but it's better than what we've seen from BP so far.
  
• Did I mention Chris Duffy and two home runs? That's so amazing that I just accidentally typed "Christ" Duffy. Before today he had 1 career homer in 352 ABs. Today he had 2 in four.
  

We got another strong bullpen outing today, with Juan Perez making his first appearence a successful 1/3 of an inning, and he, Sharpless, Marte, Bayliss, and Torres combined to hold the Cubbies to 2 hits in the last three innings. We once again find ourselves in 5th place which would be last place in every division (and out of existence in the AL West), but dammit, it's not last place in the NL Central and that's all that counts (you know, if you have really low expectations or something).
