Cubs hold on to beat the Astros 3-2
It was another tight ballgame for the Chicago Cubs tonight as they held on to defeat the Houston Astros 3-2. It was a rocking 9th inning for the Cubs and Ryan Dempster as the tieing run was at thirdbase with 1 out but Dempster was able to get a double play to end the ballgame.
Rich Hill pitched seven great innings only allowing one earned run on three hits and seven strikeouts. Exactly what the Cubs needed and it was nice to see Rich throw a gem tonight. Way to step up and help out the ballteam!
Cliff Floyd had a solo homerun into the upper deck in right field to lead the offense tonight. Ryan Theriot had the other two RBI’s for the team in the 2nd and 4th innings. The Cubs only scored three runs tonight and we always want to score 4-5 but tonight it held up with the outstanding performance by Hill. Lets hope for a big game out of Aramis Ramirez and Derrek Lee tomorrow.
The Cubs are back in a tie for first place with the Brewers now. I have a feeling this is going to go down to the last 2-3 days of the season. Say your prayers Cubs fans!
we won, but Dumpster almost blew it again. Not sure what else to say but when Dumpster steps on the mond I get a sick feeling and it is hard to watch! I will be praying!!!! GO CUBS!!!!
