Cardiac Cubs Rally From 7 Down (Video)
 

Just when you thought the Cubs couldn't top Thursday's comeback against the cross town hated White Sox, they pulled off an even more improbable comeback on Friday afternoon at the Friendly Confines.

With Rich Harden having another bad outing, the Cubs bats came to life once again the bottom of the eighth inning spurring on another great come back win.

Derrek Lee had a huge day at the plate. D Lee continued to pound the baseball, going 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, two rbi's and two runs scored including the game tying home run off of former Cub Kerry Wood in the bottom of the ninth. Lee now has a 16 game hitting streak in which he is 24-for-65 (.369).

I felt kinda bad for Kerry today. I really wanted my Cubs to win, but i just wish it wouldn't have had to be at the expense of a guy who i appreciate so much for what he done as a Cub. I know he had his injury problems, but i also know he was a great team mate. I also believe not giving up, working hard each and every time to get back to pitching in the Majors showed a lot of character and heart IMO.

I think these past two games will really start to show a different team coming to the field each day. Two wins like this can make you believe you have your "swagger" back and they know that they are never out of a game.

Other Cubs That Had A Good Day

Andres Blanco had two hits and a couple RBI's on that big hit in the bottom of the eighth with two and the sacs full. To me, that was the biggest at bat of the entire game with the score still 7-2 at the time.

Alfonso Soriano didn't look great today at the plate or in the field at times. However i give Sori props today for his two walks and the hustle in the tenth inning, stealing second after a two out walk and scoring on Theriot's bad hop single.

The Bullpen was HUGE. Patton, Heilman, Marmol and Gregg combined to pitch five innings giving up no runs and just ONE hit.
