Saturday O-o-T-S

[Gwreck]

Second and third, nobody out for the Nationals in the top of the 8th.

[HahnSolo]

Sac fly by Milledge made it 3-2

[Gwreck]

...but Dukes grounded out and Boone struck out.

Nationals will have to do it in the 9th against Lidge if we want to get the division this year.

[stevejrogers]

Stormy weather is Brewing for the Cubs in the 8th. 4-3 right now, bases still loaded with one away.

[nymr83]

the Cubs lead has been cut to 4-3 and Milwauklee still has the bases loaded

[Gwreck]

After first and third with one out, Marquis hit Ryan Braun.

Then Cotts came in and Ronny Cedeno dropped a pop-up that Prince Fielder hit. Allowing a run to score.

A double play here would be nice.

[Gwreck]

Cubs get out of the inning, take a 1 run lead to the 9th.

[Gwreck]

Nationals (down 4-2) have first and second with one out in the top of the 9th.

[Gwreck]

Anderson Hernandez with the RBI single! Now 4-3, tying run on second, 1 out.

[stevejrogers]

6-3 in Milwaukee with a Fukadome two run homer off of Solomon Torres.

[Gwreck]

Guzman singles! Bases loaded for Zimmerman, still one out.

[stevejrogers]

Ryan Zimmerman up with the bases jammed, one out in Philly

[stevejrogers]

Phillies hold on. NL East champs back to back first time since their 76-78 run.

[Gwreck]

Zimmerman grounds into the DP, bye-bye division.

[stevejrogers]

6-4-3 DP to end the damn thing.

[stevejrogers]

7-3 now Cubbies still in the top of the ninth.

[Valadius]

Heading to the bottom of the ninth, 7-3 Cubs.

[stevejrogers]

Wood Time in the ninth, one out.

[Valadius]

Two outs.

[stevejrogers]

CUBS WIN, CUBS WIN!

[stevejrogers]

GO CUBS GO!
GO CUBS GO!
HEY CHICAGO!
WHAT DO YOU SAY!
CUBBIES GONNA WIN TODAY!

[Valadius]

We're back in the driver's seat.

Let's go Mets.

[G-Fafif]

The Cubs are the best!*

[Frayed Knot]

Lidge has had a great year, but I swear he's had more than his share of luck during this "perfect" (blown save-less) season.
Guy seems to forever put on runners and then almost but not quite give up the lead.


The Cubs kept scaring me with their OF play.
Twice! Prince Fielder sent sky-high but shallow OF flies that had hang times so long that everyone except the catcher had time to get under ... and no one did! The second one I thought was going to kill any chance we had left.
