[AppGuy04]

Aramis Ramirez with a 3 run jack in the 8th. Bob Howry pitches another scoreless 9th, Cubs win 6-2

[AppGuy04]

We take the first game against Arizona then lose the last 2, end the weekend still 3.5 games back of Milwaukee and now only 2 games out of the Wild Card lead.

The next 6 games are at St Louis and Cincinnati, 2 of the worst teams in the league, so taking 5 or 6 would be ideal.

No game today

Derrek Lee's suspension is over so he should be back tomorrow and well rested

Aramis Ramirez with a 3 run jack in the 8th. Bob Howry pitches another scoreless 9th, Cubs win 6-2

Ramirez is a no-class punk. Stands at home plate and watches the HR. Next game, when Owings has walked the previous two batters, tries to charge the mound after Owings came in on him, then tries to take first base after a walk. Of course, his horrible error in the first gave the Dbacks their first run, and his 0-4 helped as well
