Stormy Weathers

With the Cubs needing a win to stay alone in first place, David Weathers comes in to pitch for Cincinnati in the bottom of the ninth. He walks Theriot, gives up a single to Lee, the Ramirez triples as Hopper goes for a diving catch. Two runs score, the Cubs tie the game at six, and the Reds walk Ward to pitch to DeRosa. Weathers needs a strikeout here.

Update:DeRosa grounds one up the middle. It ticks off Weathers glove, and that changes the direction enough so that the drawn in second baseman ends up going in the wrong direction. DeRosa goes five for five on the night, and the Cubs win 7-6.

What a great night for baseball. Comebacks, extra-inning games, shutouts, multi-home runs games, and great pennant races. Nights like this are why I love this game.

The Cubs are starting to feel like "the" team, much like how the Marlins and Angels "felt" during their WS years.
