That's when the Rockies made history by turning a three-run game into a 17-2 blowout.
``You don't expect an inning like that in the big leagues - anywhere,'' said Cubs manager Lou Piniella after the Rockies scored 12 times with two outs in the eighth.
``That was crazy. I don't think anything like that will ever happen again,'' said Sean Marshall, the Cubs' best reliever all season, who had two strikes on Carlos Gonzalez with two out and two on when the craziness began.] http://blogs.suntimes.com/cubs/2010/07/cubs_make_malodorous_history_i.html
Just when you think they have no depths of suckatudeleft to plumb, they find new bottomless pits of bad baseball.
[After Ryan Dempster's four-inning outing, the Rockies poured it on in a 12-run, 13-hit eighth inning against Sean Marshall, Andrew Cashner and Brian Schlitter. Colorado set a major league record with 11 straight hits, including six straight off Cashner, who served up two home runs.]

6 straight hits including 2 dingers, for Abner Doubleday's sainted sake.
