    I agree, heck of a play by the Cubs. We didn't have to do anything.

    What was Piniella thinking?!

    Valverde better give him a nice big hug after this game.

    Wow, Cubs still have a chance, but that was epic fail when all you need is a fly ball to win.

    Thank you Lou. That would have won the game.

    The Cubs gave us another chance, time to cash it in.

    Good job Val... probably should save the celebrating for if we win though.

    That bunt play reminded me of the Reggie Bush Rose Bowl lateral... if they make it, its a heckuva call. But they messed it up, and it looks totally idiotic.

    Valverde may have approached Fontenot differently if not for the failed squeeze.

    Still... thank you, Lou.

    Hahaha. I cannot stop laughing at the look on Piniella's face in the dugout after that. Classic.

    I'm breathing much easier now.

    The Cubs go back to the top of the order in the bottom of the 10th.

    That would have worked for Tony Larussa. That is why the Cardinals have been good for a while now while the Cubs have been up and down. In addition to having the best player in baseball.
