Soriano hits game winner!

Cubs sweep the Dodgers! Soriano hits a short fly ball down the left field line in the 10th inning to bring in the game winning hit. He really reached down to get it as well.

McClellan to be on Olbermann Thursday

This should be... interesting. Will Keith be nice to him? Can that even be possible?

Cubs game goes into extras

The Cubs saved Z a loss when they scored the game tying run in the 9th inning. Theriot got on first and DLee hit a high foul ball that would have been a walk-off home run had it stayed fair. After he made an out, Ramirez walked, and Kosuke hit a single because the Dodgers closer, Saito, couldn't find 1st base. With the bases loaded, Soto hit a sac fly to Ethier, who I'm convinced now doesn't have the arm a team would want in RF. Cedeno, who pinch ran for Ramirez, got to 3rd and Theriot scored. DeRosa made the final out to right field during the next at bat.

Currently the game is in the top of the 10th, with Howry pitching. Box score to come later.

Scott McClellan

What should we make of this story? I personally can't stand the guy and don't really want to give him the benefit of the doubt for his book. He probably is just upset about something, maybe the Plame leak? But I really don't know... he was the villain for so long. He was the guy that David Gregory got in an argument with. He was the guy who had a hair cut like Nixon's press secretary... He was the... well, you get the point.

Anyway, I don't really know what to make of him. I think it boils down to making money for his book.

Cubs Win Again!

The Cubbies pulled out another one against the Dodgers, winning 3-1. Fukudome had an amazing diving catch in right field... that better be in the Top Ten on Sportscenter tomorrow.

Gallagher had another good game, and the Cubs look like they are in for a good season, perhaps another playoff appearance.

And on a side note, Lasorda sang Take me out to the ball game and said root root for the Dodgers at Wrigley. Then the Cubs took the lead.. That'll show him.

Jimmy Carter's statement

Jimmy Carter made some headlines today for announcing that Israel has 150 nukes. This is well known, but has not been confirmed by the American government because of their relationship with Israel.

It's good that Carter came out and said this because everything we see in our media is very heavily favored for Israel, a country that came of existence at the end of World War II when the British pushed Palestinians off half of their land (and the better farming land, for that matter).

Carter also recently said that Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race at the end of the primaries. I hope she listens to him and everyone else.

Cubs Win

The Cubs dropped the Los Angeles Jaywalkers today to end their 2 game losing streak. The announcers had thought that pitching prospect Clayton Kershaw would have pitched during this series, but the Dodgers wanted to use him on Sunday instead.
Lee had a 1st inning home run and Ramirez hit a late home run and Kerry Wood got the save. Ryan Dempster started.

Sean Gallagher starting tomorrow against Kuroda.
