A 100 year drought needs at least one giant bright spot, and that spot came late at night on April 23, 2008. Freakin' win no. 10,000 for MY Chicago Cubs. Unbelievable. That win pushed them to six straight, capping off one of the Cubs best starts in history. But of course, milestone games never come easy for the Cubs, because they won't let them. The Cubs led all the way into the sixth, until the Rockies gave the Cubs a taste of their own medicine by scoring five, taking the lead 5-3. The seventh inning looked promising for the Cubs until a crucial double play abruptly ends the rally. the ninth, where The RBI Machine, or what I like to call him, Mr. Clutch steps up and sends one a mile high into the night sky to give the Cubs the lead 6-5. And I know all of Cubs Nation was thinking 10,000 here we come, we're three outs away! Once more, they give the lead up, with K-Wood earning his second blown save of the year/career. But the Cubs pull it out in eleven, a fitting end, for a fitting win.
