Cubs 6- Cardinals 5

Well this game might have been the opposite of last night. Instead of DPs going against the Cubs, Neifi is able to make two terrific plays to get two double plays, including one to end the game with Pujols up. While the Cubs offense was better today, the pitching left something to be desired. Jerome Williams walked the lead-off batter twice, only to see him come around and score, twice. Michael Wuertz actually struck out the first batter in the 7th, only to see him get to first anyway, when the ball bounced past Barrett to the backstop. The best moment of the game had to be when Pujols came up in the bottom of the ninth. The Cardinal fans immediately started their own, "MVP, MVP" chant. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery or something like that. But the MVP ended the game with the DP as told above. The Cubs try and win the series tommorrow.

Injury Update: Kerry Wood through on the side today, with still a little bit of pain. I still don't like the cortisone shot, but we'll see what happens. Either way, it's Rusch or Rich Hill, hopefully Rusch. Garciaparra might play with Peoria this week on a rehab. assignment. His infield single was definatly a positive sign for his adductor longus tear. Hopefully he can play some defense as well.
