Inside the Box Scores: Astros 5, Cubs 3 -- 4/9/2007; & Astros 4, Cubs 2 -- 4/10/2007

"We’ve scored, what, 5 runs in two ballgames?" says Lou Piniella. "That’s not going to win too many games."

The Cubs' power drought continues. Just one extra-base hit on Monday and just one extra-base hit on Tuesday, both doubles. Alfonso Soriano, Jacque Jones, Derrek Lee, Cliff Floyd, Matt Murton, and Michael Barrett are all still without home runs. The Cubs' .107 Isolated Power is 14th in the National League, ahead of just the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants, and well below the league average of .142. That'll change, but until it does, the Cubs are going to struggle to score runs.

Al Yellon says that the Cubs should cancel today's game due to the weather. Good idea.
