So I’m sitting in our seats last night with Oif and Sutter when he hit it.
If you’d have been there and didn’t blink, you’d have seen Aramis Ramirez’ gravity-defying line-drive homer.
It took all of a second to go over the wall in left.
This ball was hit so hard it cut through the fattest air ever and, had it not hit the bleachers, may have continued on up into Milwaukee.
Sir Isaac Newton (he's a Cub fan!) almost spilled his beer and began to babble because the homer seemed to break a couple of his "gravity" laws…
Sutter told him to shut up.
Earlier, Derrek Lee hit a smash to center field that was so absolutely gone…but you could actually watch the ball’s deceleration in mid air, and it landed harmlessly in Dodger center fielder Juan Pierre’s glove.
Anyway, young Giovanni Soto knocked in Craig Monroe an inning earlier, and when Ramirez hit his dinger there was an actual runner on base in Mark DeRosa.
Cubs 3 Dodgers nothin, and those 3 runs were enough for a win last night.
But the Cubs went crazy late in the game, and it ends up Cubs 8 Dodgers 2 with Ted Lilly pitching like a stud.
Cubs still in first by a half game as Milwaukee absolutely creams the Astros like 14 to something small.
Lets see what happens today…
