Atmosphere was awesome, Cutler is awesome, the Bulls are awesome, Ramirez is awesome.

 

Hawks win in OT the other night, Bulls win in OT today, Cubs win in extra innings today. So are the Hawks going to blow out the Flames tonight?

Seriously, how many guys in baseball are scarier to face in that spot than Aramis Ramirez? I'm betting less than 10.

 

Easily the most underrated RBI guy in all of baseball, and has been for several years now.

 

I dunno, I feel like most everyone knows how good Aramis is. He's very good and elite for his position.

I think he's properly rated overall, but no one talks about how frightening he is in the big spots. He has more big hits the last few years than I can even remember.

 

Seriously. I try not think about the term "clutch," but Aramis is as close as it gets to making me believe that clutch actually exists.

 

When it comes to Aramis Ramirez, it definitely exists.

Rally gloves? :pig:

Seriously, I was painting the house, was listening to the game, and when my wife said that some guy named Aramis was up in the batters box, I told her that the ball game will be over within a minute.

 

Sure enough, it was over.
