It looked like a disastrous evening. With the (barely) second place Brewers having won and having ourselves blown a lead, and then falling behind again after re-tying it up, the Cubs went into the ninth inning two runs behind. However, Theriot took a walk, Lee got a single, Ramirez hit a triple to tie the game, and DeRosa got just enough of the ball to bring in the winning run. Eleven games left (13 for Milwaukee, I fear), but we’re still a game ahead. It’s the slimmest of leads,but a win like tonight gives you hope.
Wish me luck tomorrow (Tuesday night). I bought a dozen tickets five months ago, and myself and a bunch of work friends are going down to watch Zambrano pitch in the middle of a pennant chase. Go Cubs!
