I watched the game from the 5th inning on.
- The umpire crew was using coins to call the game.
- Aramis Ramirez is a waste of baseball talent. No wonder Pittsburgh didn't want to pay his salary. What good is a guy that can hit who doesn't think and only plays when he wants to?
- Damian Miller deserves at least half of Joe Borowski's save.
- The Cubs win demonstrates how crucial yesterday's loss was. They remain a half game back as both St. Louis and Houston won.
A mental miscue by Aramis Ramirez, a kicked ball by Ramon Hernandez, and some pitches in the dirt by Joe Borowski made my heart beat a little faster than it should have in the bottom of the 9th. Thankfully, Junior Spivey and Steve Finley still haven't mastered the strike zone.
