A bit of a letdown tonight, unfortunately. Lester pitched well, nut was outdueled by Lackey.
Need to win tomorrow night... |

If the Cubs win, Eddie Vedder might be happy, for a minute at least. :-)

Eddie Vedder was in the dugout and locker room for the WC game against Pittsburgh. I think a saw a smile at one point. 
GREAT win tonight. Getting one win in St. Louis was critical and I was sweating it after last night.
GO CUBS GO!! |

| CK, you think maybe Eddie Vedder is a bit of a good luck charm? Sitting in the box with Theo last night. This team believes. You can see it in their eyes. GO CUBS! |

| As much as I want the Redbirds to advance there is some deeply rooted evil in me that wants the Cubbies to go on to the World Series only to have their souls crushed there.... again. |

Wow...who knew Dale was such a d*ck?
WILD game last night....balls were flying out of Wrigley left and right. The good news is that my fears of an under performing Arrieta were realized, but the Cubbies still won. That is HUGE.
That said, this series is far from over....Lackey back on the bump tonight for St. Louis against Jason Hammels. I want no part of this series going back to St. Louis, but don't like that match-up at all for the Cubs. I would almost go so far as to say that this is a "must win" game for them. |

| As a Red Sox fan, and having wittnessed the Jekyll & Hyde outings of Lackey. I'm going to tell you, the man cannot put two wins together on 3 days rest. You heard it here first. Dale your hatred is similar to mine toward the Yankees. |

Spud, I have spent the majority of my life cursed in both leagues. A good chunk of my formative years were spent in NE and I watched with great agony the trials & tribulations of Jim Rice, Fred Lynn, Rick Burleson, Yaz, et al. They remain my AL team while the Cubbies are my NL team.
I wouldn't mind the Hyde side of Lackey showing up tonight, but he is having a brilliant year so far and am not so quick to write him off.
Still stiff breezes expected today, but blowing more towards right field than straight out.

| I still have nightmares of game 6 1986. 10th inning. I had my thumb on the cork of the champagne bottle, and then, as previously described by Dale, my soul was crushed. As were the souls of many that night. |

Yeah....I was in a similar position with a bottle of beer. May still be sitting in my old college fridge!!
Called my old roommate as they were about to cap the 2004 WS and opened a beer into the phone as they got the last out. A few years delayed.... |

| 1986, I was doing business with some guys from Chicago and they both said they were wondering how they'd lose the series. They were so matter-of-fact about it it was almost sad. |
