C'mon ARam, end it here...

[YearofDaCubs]

HELL YEAH!!

[XZero771679666304]

WHY THE HELL IS MACIAS HITTING? Wow. Just wow. Unbelievable. Hey Dusty, I hear Darren is swinging pretty well lately. Why don't you let him hit next.

 

 

Earth to Cubs Fans, Earth to Cubs Fans,

 

Maybe, just maybe, Aramis asked for the whole day off, because he's hurting. That includes pinch-hitting.

 

Really? :lol: :lol:

[sethuel1]

Cubs win!

[sethuel1]

Cubs win!

[JC]

doesn't it always seem like the cubs pull out miracles when baker is at his worst strategy-wise?

 

Yes.

 

Example: Zambrano hitting for himself in Houston.

[Coach C]

CUBS WIN!

 

CUBS WIN!!!

 

 

NO HEART YOU SAY?

 

WE GOT HEART!

Or maybe I'm a dumbass.

CUBS WIN!!!!!!

That's clutch Rammy... and now Dusty wiggles off the hook AGAIN.

Wouldn't that give us the best record in baseball? :P

[jaydee]

Maybe dusty was just messing with us, and knew all this was going to happen?

[JGalt73]

beat beat, beat beat... HEART....

[bukie]

Honestly, I don't know why the fans hate Barret with RISP. He's the best hitter on the team in that situation this year. Luck or not, he's one of the 3 hitters I want to see up there.

 

If I were the D-backs, I'd have pitched around Ramirez and taken chances with Hairston/Perez.

[Marco4]

CUBS WIN!

 

I take back my P29 comment saying it might be more. Boys came through good. Now 3-44 when trailing into the 9th, apparently.

[Cubzfan64]

Never underestimate my gut feelings!!!! I get them rarely, but in all honesty they've been right over 75% of the time :-)

 

Way to pull it out guys - big win!

[hawkeyecub]

This team has no heart. Playoff teams don't come back to win games when trailing heading into the 9th.

 

We're now 2.5 games out, the season is over.

[IowaCubsFan]

I'm glad to see they won, but why does it have to be such an adventure lately?

[UMFan83]

OMG MACAIS DID THE WALKER SAFE SLIDE!

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Oh my God Cub fans. Has it ever occured to you that Aramis is hurt and he can't play today? :roll:

 

We were lucky to pull out a win there, but I'll take it. Heading home now. Adios fellas.

[Blueheart05]

I'm late but

 

Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs Win!

[katway]

Wow. We've got the 9th firgured out. Now, we gotta play 1 through 8 with the same energy.

[wvcbxl]

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

 

This happy Cubs fan is off to bed.

Night all.

[Jon]

My goodness that was huge.

 

I'll also say that it was a pretty well managed game by Dusty once it started. I can't say I disagreed with any of his moves (off the top of my head), including leaving Prior in there.

[dalgreen]

Dusty makes a lot of stupid mistakes, but his decisions in the ninth will go unnoticed. Such as pinch-running for Walker and leaving Macias (I hate Macias, but I give the devil his due) in the game. His speed scored the run.

 

Good job by Barrett. I usually rip him because he has some poor at-bats with runners in scoring position (like yesterday), but he came through. Maybe this game can give them some adrenaline to get through the next two games before an off-day. Let's root against the Nats and Astros.
