I interrupt all the political BS to bring you...game 4 of my top 5 of 2008

Sorry everyone, I am going to have to interrupt both President Obama and Ginger Russ. They were both clearly busy today. One was busy trying to right our nation's ship. The other was wasting time defending an absolutely rediculous post made on another blog.

August 15, 2008 - Chicago Cubs @ Florida Marlins
For 8 innings this was a fairly terrible game to watch. Zambrano had one of those shitty innings that became a staple for him in 2008 in the 3rd and the Cubs went into the 9th trailing by 2. I sat in Old Chicago watching the game with some Idiots and some others from work. The top of the 9th rolled around and I had just about given up. Luckily, I just ordered another Lagunitas IPA so I didn't have to listen to the finish on XM. DeRosa, as he did so many times in 2008, got things started with a leadoff walk. Fontenot then hit a soft liner to 3rd for the 1st out. Reed followed that with a clutch hit to bring the winning run to the plate. D Nice (aka Monte Ward) soon came up with his most impressive PH as a Cub. He hammered a home run to deep right center giving the Cubs the lead. In typical Wood fashion, Kerry made things interesting in the 9th but nailed down the save. This win gave the Cubs a 5.5 game lead over the Brewers with only a month and a half of play left. I can honestly say that after this game I allowed myself to think about the playoffs. Little did I know how much I would end up appreciating the regular season with respect to the post season.

Have that wasn't too bad of a good night story. If nothing else it gives you something actually Cubs related to read.
