Zambrano Pitches Through Pain as Cubs Sweep NLCS
In a battle of aces, Carlos Zambrano tried to finish off the Brewers as Ben Sheets tried to keep them alive. In the top of the second inning, Zambrano tried to make a diving stop. Though he missed the ball, shortstop Ryan Theriot grabbed it and made the out to end the inning. Zambrano had his arm looked at and stayed in the game. In the bottom of the inning, Aramis Ramirez got hurt on a head-first slide into second. He had to be taken out of the game, but it's not serious. He can play after a little rest. Plus his replacement, the speedy Ronny Cedeno, came around to score the first of the Cubs' 3 runs. Zambrano was in great pain as he pitched, but he poker-faced his way all the way into the 8th inning. So far, he had been scoreless, but when he gave up a run and started panting out on the mound, Lou got him out of there right away. Bob Howry finished the inning and Michael Wuertz finished the game with a save. The Cubs are going to the World Series for the first time since 1946.

Cubs, Angles set to square off in the World Series
The Angels had a 3 to 0 game lead on the Tigers in the ALCS, but lost 3 in a row, forcing a Game 7. The Halos took back the momentum, however, and are now in the World Series with the Cubs. The 2008 World Series matchup is set! Let's go, Cubs!

Chicago Cubs (101-61) VS. Los Angeles Angels (97-65)

I Swear I'll Kill Mike Cameron :evil:
I am not in a good mood to write. Geo got a solo homer, but then Ted Lilly exploded and gave up 4 runs in the 3rd, the Cubs tied it up, and Michael Wuertz blew it in the 9th inning. Woo. Go Cubs. That's a real good way to start the World Series Oh, and Lou said some stuff.

"Well, great. Who's gonna be the closer if Wuertz cracks under pressure? Oh, and @$*&%@#$*!*&!%@&!#%$%#&*!#&%#@%!%#&!#*$%&!#*&&%!#*#$&!*%#&$@#%$&*!!!"
At this point, the reporters cleared the room except for one brave soul determined to get the whole interview.
"$#%*&!%@#*&*!&&@#!$*@&%!@&#*&%&#!*#@&*%&!@#$$#@&!%*&!!!! SO CAMERON CAN SUCK MY..."
At this point, Lou got ready to throw a chair and that brave soul ran for his life.

Too Many Highlights
Geez, where to start? The Cubs got on the board with an RBI from Fukudome; later, Derrek Lee drove in 3 more with a home run on a 3-0 count. Ryan Dempster lasted a full 8 innings, only giving up runs in the 7th and 8th when he started getting tired. How did he last so long? A review of the game revealed that he threw nothing but fastballs.
Mike Cameron wrote:
I kept thinking, "He's gotta throw a breaking ball eventually," and he never did! WTH?
Ryan Dempster wrote:
I'm just as confused as you are. I just threw what Soto called for.
Geovany Soto wrote:
Well, we tried mixing it up with Ted Lilly's breakers last night. That didn't exactly work, so I just said, "Screw that, I'm calling for all fastballs tonight."
Well, it worked, at least until Dempster gave up 3 runs in the 8th, but the Cubs already had a huge lead by then. Oh, and the Angels ended the 8th with a triple play. Freaking baserunner AI... 2nd baseman Howie Kendrick caught a hard liner, stepped on second, then fired it to first. Michael Wuertz got a save, the series is tied at 1, and the Cubs are headed to Anaheim. There. That's everything.

Cubs Take Series Lead
And it was not easy getting to this point. The Angles struck first in with a sac fly in the 1st inning. Geovany Soto was trying to use his "all fastballs" strategy, but it wasn't working.
Geovany Soto wrote:
So I decided to throw all strategy out the window and just call pitches completely at random.
And it worked... for the most part. Marshall held the Angels to that 1 run for a good 5 innings. In the 6th, the Cubs started a comeback with Aramis Ramirez's solo homer, then they exploded, hammering John Lackey and Darren Oliver for a total of 7 runs. Then the Chicago bullpen was brought in and... agh. They sucked, but the Cubs had enough of lead for them to stay ahead until the end of the game.

Too Stressful!
Aaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh. Why do the Cubs ALWAYS have to make things "exciting"? Sean Marshall gave up 4 runs in the 2nd inning and then got taken out after the third. Kerry Wood was pretty good in long relief, though. In the top of the 4th, DLee hit a solo homer to reduce the lead to three, but the Halos still weren't worried. In the 6th, Geovany Soto knocked in another run. Still not a problem. Then in the 7th, the Cubs rallied for 3 runs and took the lead. Now THAT'S a problem. The Cubs tacked on 1 more run in the 8th but in the bottom of the inning, Eric O'Flaherety gave up 2 runs! Then extras dragged on until finally, in the 11th, Mike Fontenot, the DH, who was batting 9th, with 2 outs, knocked in Kosuke Fukudome. Bob Howry held the Angels in the bottom of the inning and then it was over! Geez! Finally! Now the Cubs are a game away from their first World Series trophy in 99 years. Will they pull it off? Find out in a period of time whose length I forgot!

"Oh, this log is LONG dead. Zumi wouldn't ever bump a thread that's been dead for almost a year."

BUT I DID!!! :twisted:

So just in case you forgot what was going on over the past year, the Cubs are up 3 games to 1 on the Angels in the 2008 World Series.

10/28
FINALLY!lol, how fitting
It took 100 years. 100 long years of waiting, suffering, bad luck and curses. Indeed, Cubs fans may be considered the most resilient in baseball. For so long, they have packed the stands at Wrigley field with no reward at the end of the season. UNTIL TODAY - game 5 of the 2008 World Series against the Los Angeles Angels. Scott Baker took the mound for the Cubs and Jon Garland stepped up for the angels. Baker lasted 5.1 innings while Garland pitched 7. The first run came for the Cubs in the 2nd when Geovany Soto knocked in Kosuke Fukudome, but the Angels retaliated with a 3-run ralley in the 4th, including a daring double steal that put runners on 2nd and 3rd for Maicier Izturis, who knocked in 1. The Cubbies tied it again in the 6th, but Izturis came up again and homered to give his team a 1-run lead and knock Baker out of the game. In the 7th, Reed Johnson singled, stole a base, then came home on 2 surprising sac bunts by Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez, 2 of Chicago's biggest power hitters. Geovany Soto came through in the 8th with a 2-run bomb that gave the Cubs the lead. Carlos Marmol was the one called on to finally close it off, earning a save in the 9th inning. When Aramis Ramirez scooped up a ground ball and threw it to Derrek Lee at first, it was finally over. 100 years of waiting were over. The Chicago Cubs were World Series Champions once more! Many Cubs fans credit their new GM, who joined the organization at the start of the season. "Oh, don't thank me," he commented in an interview. "The players are the ones who really made it happen. I just gathered them all in one place." That one place just so happened to be the summit of Major League Baseball. World Series MVP honors went to Aramis Ramirez. Congratulations, Cubbies! Just don't go making us wait another 100 years!
