Holy Cow what a game for the Chicago Cubs.  Once again they had to come from behind and this time by five runs which Rich Hill gave up all in the first inning.  Aramis Ramirez shocked the Wrigley Field crowd today with a 9th inning two-run homer to left-center field to give the Cubs their seventh win in a row!

That’s exactly how you want to start a series against the Brewers.  We will take a win any way we can get it, I don’t care how ugly it is!  Yeah, Rich Hill only threw three innings, he sucked the entire first inning leaving curve balls up that got hit hard, but the Cubs bullepen shut the door the final six innings and really stepped up.  It will be hard to see how the bullpen responds tomorrow and Sunday however as they all have some very tired arms.

It is the ninth inning that has everyone talking today however.  With one out in the Chicago ninth against Francisco Cordero (0-2) and trailing 5-3, Alfonso Soriano and Mike Fontenot each singled. Soriano then scored on Derrek Lee’s sacrifice fly. Ramirez hit the first pitch into the left-field bleachers.

We can probably expect to see a minor league reliver brought up tonight or early tomorrow morning to help out.  Who do we send down is the question? Can we please just release Cesar Izturis?

Tomorrows game will be on FOX at 2:55 central time so make sure you have your work all done by the afternoon and lets watch the Cubs and Brewers tangle again!
