It's Gonna Happen (It Really Is)


The Cubs had a huge win last night, coming back from a 6-4 deficit in the ninth against the Reds. Although they played somewhat sub-par in the rest of the game, they executed perfectly in the 9th, with a lead-off walk, followed by a single from Derrick Lee, and a triple to the gap in right-center by Aramis Ramirez to tie it up. Finally, Mark DeRosa hit a single up the middle for the win, completing a 5-5 day at the plate for him, his second this year against Cincy. It was very exciting to see and a huge confidence boost for the club. With 2 weeks left in the season, it's definitely looking like . . . it's gonna happen!
