Wow, what another exciting win for the Cubbies as they beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on Friday afternoon at Wrigley.  The game was tied 0-0 heading into the bottom of the 8th inning and then Aramis Ramirez unloaded a bomb that curved around the left field foul pole for a three run home run.  Once again it was A-Ram being the player of the game for the Cubs.

The hitters knew they had to score some runs because the pitching staff threw the ball so well.  Jason Marquis tossed the first seven innings of the game as he battled against Matt Cain.  Marquis only gave up three hits as the threw the ball the best he has all season long.  Bob Howry tossed a scoreless inning in the eighth and then closer Kerry Wood was called on.  Wood did have some trouble after Mark DeRosa couldn’t come up with a tough catch in left field as he allowed one run and gave the Giants the chance to score the tying runs as they had the tying runs on base.  Wood was able to get the job done however and pick up his 24th save of the season.

Now lets sit back and hope the Brewers and Cardinals both lose.  Enjoy you Friday night and see you all back here on Saturday afternoon!
