Thank you, Aramis

Aramis Ramirez has been quietly productive this season, but he seems to come through huge at all the right times. Today’s walk-off was reminiscent off the game-winner he hit just under a year ago against Milwaukee.

Electrifying is the only way to describe it.

Not just because it’ll make every Cub fan forget (at least for now) about being swept by Tampa Bay and the recent injury report, but it’ll make the Chicago Tribune’s Phil Rogers think twice before dubbing Joe Crede the better Chicago third baseman. And just for the sake of spite, it outclassed the smug A.J. Pierzynski and his third inning homer. Then again, it doesn’t take much to outclass Pierzynski (even if it’s a fake story that’s still believable).

Live by the long ball

Cubs win

Six of the seven runs in Friday’s 4-3 Cubs victory over the White Sox came via the round-tripper.

Just a touch of rain on the victory parade.
