Morning Wood - Cubs Bounce Back
Chicago Cubs 12 St. Louis Cardinals 3
These Cubs are mean. In previous years, once the Cubs fell out of first place in September, they'd fade from the race. This season they decided to fall out of first place, and then jump right back in. Considering they're just going to blow it anyway, that's a pretty mean thing to do. Now fans are going to get their hopes up and stuff. Aramis Ramirez went deep twice, along with two doubles, and Derrek Lee also homered as the Cubs just destroyed the Cardinals. Ted Lilly also set a new career high with his 15th win.
Cleveland Indians 6 Chicago White Sox 2
Man, it's too bad the Sox couldn't pull this one out. The way I figured, if they could sweep Cleveland and get within 9 games of first, they had a shot! The Sox led this game 2-1 until a rain delay in the 7th inning. After that, they completely forgot how to play defense, and gave the game away to Cleveland. "Thank God it was only 80 [fans left] and not 40,000 because I was little embarrassed by those plays," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said.
