8/28 Phillies (Hamels) @ Cubs (Dempster) - 7:05 WGN TV

[Ski]

That was a no doubter by Ramirez. Awesome bat "drop" by Rami.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Aramis may very well have the best home run bat flip in the game.

I don't care what happens the rest of the way. Thank you Cubs, this is awesome.

i would like to nominate CSN philadelphia for worst camerawork in history on that home run. they showed a wide view of CF like the guy was parked under the ball. then ARam is trotting around the bases and I'm thinking wtf just happened, they made it look like a routine fly even though i thought he drilled it.

[UMFan83]

Top of the order (Rollins-Utley-Burrell) due up in the 9th. This ones not over yet.

The insanely ecstatic fans should have given it away.

I was on the way home from the movies with the wife and I called my mom who said it was 4-1 Phillies. Tuned in at the beginning of Lee's at-bat and after he walked, I told my wife Rammy was going to hit a slam. AWESOME!!

[Ski]

This just in, Major League Baseball, wanting to use instant replay in the first game, just called Rami's grand slam foul.

[Laura]

WOW

[Andy]

Howry in line for another win.

 

BTW, it bears repeating how much I LOVE THIS DAMN TEAM. No other year do we have a chance in this one, but this year...all I can say is what my avatar says.

[CubmanPi]

I'm going to be busy building an Aram shrine. Holy crap. I still have goosebumps.

[UMFan83]

Woody up?

 

4 in a row [-X

 

Should be Marmol tonight

 

 

Pat says he (Kerry) just got up.

 

Smart to have him go 4 days in a row facing the heart of the Phillies order. Ugh

[Little Slide Rooter]

I maintain my prediction that the Cubs will have a semi-big inning capped by a 3 run homerun and win this game.

 

you were close.

I began reading my assignment, with the game on but the volume down. I turn and look just to see what Fontenot does. He cranks a solo shot, I think of the board and say sneaky power man. But still down two runs I turn back to read some more. I then hear Len's voice a little bit so I turn and see Soriano double. So I turn the volume up a little more. I hear Theriot singles to right. So I stop reading there and decide to wait until the inning is over. I then see Lee walk and think how great would it be if Aramis homers than i'll be happy when I read my stupid macroeconomics book and what do you know. I know everyone thinks that but at least I will be hopefully happy hopefully at least. :) GO CUBS GO CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLS!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Is he trying to ruin both Dempster and Wood?

[Sammy Sofa]

Why isn't Marmol going?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Id really feel more comfortable with Marmol or Wood in the 9th. I dont want this to slip away.

Close but ultimately WRONG. You fail

From WGN's cf camera angle, I thought he popped it up and the fans just over-reacted to a routine fly ball.

QUIT THROWING OVER

That's what I thought too and then I saw the CF not move and the way ARam was posing I though he was just pissed. Then the ball went into the seats.

Dear Cubs,

 

This whole scoring runs after the 7th inning, and having clutch home runs, and all that other stuff is getting old. Please, you can stop at any time now.

 

Sincerely,

 

The Rest of the NL.

 

But seriously, Wrigley had to been a rockin' after that...

[Brian]

do work dero

[bcl412]

How bout a DeRosa dagger.
