Wild Weekend in the Lou!
The Cubs should have swept the Cards, but we'll take 2 of 3.
Neifi Perez, God love him, comes through with a GRAND SLAM in extra innings to beat the Cards after Ryan Dempster blew a save after converting 14 consecutive attempts.
Is it just me, or are you a LITTLE bit more uncomfortable with Dempster closing now than you were a week or two ago? He's still the best option we have, but after a blown save on Sunday, a near blown save on Saturday, I think his next save chance is HUGE. Hopefully, he'll respond well.
And how hot is Aramis Ramirez? Despite his awful first two months of the season (hitting .244 on May 29) he's bounced back to rank among the NL leaders in BA (6th-.316), HR (4th-27), and RBI (8th-73).
He's only 9 HR shy of his 2004 HR total. He's playing like the 3B we gave a ton of money to in the offseason.
Yesterday was a great win. They had the Cards down to their last strike in the 9th with no one on base and still blew the lead. That type of game can beat you down. But they came right back and attacked the Cards bullpen and took the series.
Now lets beat the hell out of the Giants.
