This is great baseball. Today the Cubs fell behind 5-0 as the Strohs got to Marquis early on cheap runs. Then we came back. It was the bottom of the order that lead the charge back, capped by a D Lee 3 run dinger. The Strohs tie it with a solo in top of next inning. We were tied but losing big mo. Cubs came right back and got the lead. With the bases loaded 1 out Rameriz makes a diving catch on a Carlos Lee line drive. The next guy makes an out and we dodged a huge bullet.
DeRose played right and made 2 really nice catches. One was so high the camera man lost the ball and only showed the sky. There were 2 on and it looked like a big problem until DeR caught it over his shoulder on the track. Sweet. Another time he made a real nice play running toward the line right where the wall comes out to the field. It ain't easy to play right on a windy day and he did a great job.
The bullpen went 5 innings and gave up no runs. I bet even Lou liked that!
Brewers already had won but that doesn't matter the way we are playing. They have not been playing very well and have to be looking over thier shoulder. My Cubbies are playing good ball.

I turned on the game in the 2nd to find us down 5 runs. This is the kind of game that we've lost for the past 3 years, and that successful teams like the Red Sox and Cardinals have found a way to win. Sure enough, in the span of about 12 pitches, the Cubs had DeRosa double, Soto single, and Pagan blast, which put us right back in the game.
I have enjoyed that the Cubs have figured a way to win with the home run (last game), and without (previous 10 games). Interesting note: there is only one team that has an above 500 record when they don't hit a home run, the Angels, but over the past 3 weeks, I'm sure we've helped ours.
