College of Idiots: Aramis Breaks in his Walker Cherry with Something Big, Long and Hard

Super-quick recap:

Never a dull moment...unless your listening to the game. Pitching duels are something to be seen, not heard. Marquis de Suc doesn't actually suck and pitches a gem: 7 innings of no-runs and only 3 hits. San Fran's Cain equals him with the same line, but with 9 strikeouts to Marquis' 4. Enter the bottom of the eighth. The Riot leads off with a hit. Fontenot, or "Little Babe Ruth", bunts him over (so someone else besides Dempster CAN bunt!). Bruce Bochy decides to have Tyler Walker intentionally walk Lee to setup the double play against Ramirez.

DUMB!!!

Hey Bochy, Lee is the guy you want in to hit into a double play. He has hit into like 3,429 so far this year.

Anyway, E-Ramis steps up to the plate to face Walker for the first time ever. WHACK! Like an overanxious 13 year old seeing boobs for the first time, Ramirez pulls out his boom-stick on the first pitch and hits it deep...really deep. Out of the park deep. 41,000+ strong cum together and rejoice. Even Ronnie remarks it's one of the most beautiful things he's ever seen.

I heart Aramis!

Kid K comes in the ninth to close. Instantly gives up a double, a walk, and a base hit and all of a sudden visions of Alfonseca come rushing to my head. But this isn't the Cubs of old and Kerry closes out the rest of the game quickly.

Cubs Win! Go Cubs Go and all that jazz.

Tomorrow, Cubs fans get a hard-on for Harden (I think I might actually be tired of this reference already). Early game for tv. GFY again Fox Sports. Fortunately I will be on my way to Flagstaff for the Made In The Shade Beer Festival. I love festivals, especially ones that are all about beer.

Speaking of beer...wait, isn't that Kevin Crawley, the number one fan of the Chicago Cubs from the video in yesterday's post?
