{sigh} 9 - 8

The dugout is the place to go for those who have a sport they would like to talk about or a team they would like to "promote" or speak of.

Well... the Cub's fall short. I was able to catch many pieces of the game, however, I was taking calls. Most likely a good thing, if I was doing tickets I seriously doubt I would have gotten any work done past 7pm.

The biggest thing was at the bottom of the 9th, with two outs, a runner on, and Sammy up to bat, when I heard in mid flight the announcer saying to get the tape measure, I yelled SO INSANELY LOUD and started running around 4th floor that the cleaning ladies got a massive amusement from it. Hahaha... I was so insanely loud that it was... loud. I think they heard me in Chicago.

Of course... the Cub's would give up a run in the top of the 11th, and be unable to tie it from there.

I disagree with ESPN, Mike L did not have the biggest hit... to me, what Sammy did was just amazing. Call it a bias, but when you are down two runs, and it is the bottom of the 9th, and you are down 2 strikes and have been quite almost ALL post season, then wow. Yeah, that is my story and I am sticking to it.

As for why we lost, the real reason is Zambrano. Each home run (a total of 5 runs) turned out to be fast balls, and he himself admits that his strength is either a breaking ball or slider, of which he could have thrown more of. While it was a slugfest day (the wind blowing out, and the temp the way it was) I would expect Florida to have a few out of the park as well... Zam just did not have his game face on.

Luckily for us Cub fans... Prior and Wood are next on the rubber...

GO CUBS!!
