Dempster just has to make it as interesting as possilbe. He knew with the wind blowing in, he could get away with making that pitch. :wink: :P

[Derwood]

The best pitched, most fundamentally sound game in a long time and it only merits 9 pages of game thread (3 of which were prior to the game starting)

[YearofDaCubs]

Looks like the rookies did good.

[Balsa]

Wow. The only word that come to mind are:

 

"What could have been"

 

 

Cedeno and Murton were amazing, as was the rest of the Cubs lineup. I mean, everyone was hitting well and playing good D. This is incredible. It's worth watching these games just to see Cedeno and Murton play.

cedeno (sees a ton of pitches) (stolen base, legged out infield hit)

murton (consistently ahead of the count) (stolen base, broke up double play....em her, no not perez who has grounded into 19 of them).

 

 

Crap. It's just a coincidence. They don't have the book on them yet.

My internet was down yesterday, but I watched the game and was I hallucinating or did the cubs... acutally... squeeze.
