Ramirez's walkoff vs Milwaukee

[Bote McBoteface]

I remember a picture of Ramirez jumping towards home plate and high fiving Felix Pie after hitting that walkoff. It used to be my desktop, but then I had to reformat my harddrive. Where can I find that pic?

It's still my desktop, and my photobucket still has a smaller size more appropriate for sigs. Unfortunately I have access to neither right now, but if no one has posted it by noon Pacific time, I'll post it for you.

On a side note, that was the play of the season, should we be able to make it in. As soon as Len said that the 3-6-1 double play was the other night, I wanted to write him and let him know it was the Ramirez walkoff.

 

I think someone still has it as their sig.

I don't know...I think the comeback win after Howery gave up 6 runs in the top of the 9th against Colorado also has to get some serious consideration...that was right in the middle of the stretch where we won 10 of 11...a losing streak there would have killed us now...

You can probably find it at the end of that day's game thread.

 

EDIT: Hmm. Just went back to look at the thread and it wasn't there. Whichever site put the picture up (I think it was yahoo) must have taken it down.

Yeah I had them from Yahoo and I think they delete after awhile, but I kept looking and on the next page Balsa uploaded a version he made a little bigger

While that was a big play, I think big event of the season that turned us around was trading Barrett

He's hit .233/.246 with 0 HRs since he's been there. His lack of production...heck, total collapse, amazes me...but I agree with you.

I think we've found our "kenny lofton sparked the offense" myth of 2007.

Lou got ejected June 2nd, and June third thru whatever date was the time period the Cubs had the best record in baseball. Z got good. ARam's walkoff was only a few days after Cubs gave up the 5-run lead in the 9th to Colorado, only for Sori to comeback and hit the walkoff single in the bottom of the inning. They were both part of the team's longest winning streak in five years. Fontenot was beyond ridiculous the entire month of June. The bullpen decided to stop sucking. Barrett's below-average numbers were replaced by Bowen's and Hill's completely non-existent offense.

 

I'm sure I can find more reasons to discredit the Barrett being traded theory, those are just off the top of my head.

Thanks for the bigger Ramirez into the pile picture

I remember Izturis playing with him afterwards.

I agree with a lot of those things but I do think Barrett being traded helped not from a production standpoint (although it did enable us to get Kendell who I think has helped with more than just numbers.) but from a morale standpoint. Zambrano started to pitch well right after than. Although that could also have been because he wanted to prove something after his fight. So what do I know.
