The Chicago Cubs are a team that have faced recent troubles and devastating losses, turning the Cubbies into an average team at best. Today, they performed like a team that wanted and deserved to win.
Down 7-0 to the Indians, Chicago scored their first run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Still, it looked as though the Cubs were long-shots to even come close to winning the ball game.
In the bottom of the sixth, Chicago scored yet another run and brought the game to 7-2. A little hope was raised in the hearts of Cubs fans.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Cubs scored an incredible four runs. They were now only down by one run going into the top of the ninth inning.
The Cubs had one last chance to try and tie the ball game or win it. Derrek Lee came up to bat and slammed the baseball over the fence, tying the game at seven runs each.
Kerry Wood has yet another blown save on the season.
In the bottom of the tenth, Ryan Theriot, who was 0-5 at the time, singled to right and scored Alfonso Soriano for the game winning run.
This game will easily go down as one of the best comebacks in Cubs' history. The game was exciting and showed that the Cubs, when trying, are a team to be reckoned with.
Derrek Lee led the Cubs with three hits and two RBI's. Kevin Gregg, the Cubs closer, picked up his second win on the season. Luis Vizcaino picked up his third loss on the year.
Chicago has an offense that is slumping as of late, but if they can get their bats working for them, I see the Cubs going on a big win streak in the very near future.
Ted Lilly will take the mound tomorrow against the Indians, looking for his eighth win on the season. The game is at 1:05 pm ET.
