Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the opening day score of the Cubs' win over the New York Mets?

Answer: 15-2

The Cubs won 15-2 behind Kerry Woods' 5 innings of two run ball. The bullpen pitched 4 scorless innings. Corey Patterson had 2 home runs and 7 rbi.

2. What was the Cubs record against the crosstown rival Chicago White Sox?

Answer: 2-4

The Sox took two of three at each stadium. Even tougher, every game was close.

3. In Game two of the interleague Yankee series, who did Mike Remlinger strike out with the bases loaded and two outs to preserve the win?

Answer: Jason Giambi

4. In Game two of the interleague Yankee series, who gave up the home run to Eric Karros to give the Cubs the lead for good?

Answer: Juan Acevedo

Karros turned around a 1-0 lead by New York to win the game and ruin Roger Clemens's 300 win bid. Best moment of the summer, except for division clincher.

5. Which Yankee player did Joe Borowski pick off, to end the third game of the Yankees series?

Answer: Charles Gipson

Borowski's pick off saved a 7-6 win that was slipping away.

6. Which Milwaukee Brewer made an amazing sliding catch to preserve a heartbreaking 2-0 loss on August 31st, which was the series final?

Answer: Jason Conti

Conti made his amazing catch with two runners on and the Cubs down two. The Cubs had lost two straight to the Brewers. This was the last game before the Cardinals series.

7. In the famous series against the Cardinals from September 1st to September 4th, which Cardinal pitcher was the only one to record a win against the Cubs a 2-0 victory?

Answer: Matt Morris

He beat the Cubs in the night cap of the doubleheader on Tuesday. His win was helped by a foul call on a clearly fair ball by Moises Alou. Video replay shows a huge chunk of the foul line going up in the air.

8. In the series from September 1st to September 4th against the Cardinals, how many Cubs were ejected from a ball game?

Answer: 4

Moises Alou an Antonio Alfonseca were ejected while arguing the foul call. Sammy Sosa was kicked out the next day while he allegedly swore at the home plate umpire. Pitching coach Larry Rothschild also kicked out of that game. Also in that game, the Cubs come down from six runs as Alou goes five for five day after being ejected.

9. In game seven of the NLCS, which three Cubs hit a home run?

Answer: Kerry Wood, Moises Alou, Troy O'Leary

Wood hit a three run homer, Alou a two run homer, and O'Leary a solo shot. All these were not enough as the Marlins won 9-6.

10. Which Cub made the last out of the 2003 postseason, a fly out to left, with the score 9-6 Marlins?

Answer: Paul Bako

Bako flew out to left field to end it all for the Cubs.
