After splitting the first two games, the NLCS scene shifts to Miami, Florida for Game 3. Kerry Wood fanned 7 in his 6 2/3 innings of work but left the game trailing 3-2. But in the top of the 8th, Randall Simon says.....hit a home run. And he did to put the Cubs ahead 4-3. The Marlins would tie it in the bottom half, and the game went to extra frames. In the 11th, Doug Glanville delivered a big pinch-hit RBI triple to put Chicago on top 5-4. The Marlins didn't score in the bottom half and the Cubs led the series. Game 4 was the Aramis Ramirez show. In the first, he sent a Dontrelle Willis offering down the LF line that landed fair for a grand slam home run. Ramirez had three hits, a second home run and drove in 6 of the Cubs' 8 runs. And eight was enough for Matt Clement and crew for an 8-3 win. The Chicago Cubs were now one win away from exorcising 58 years of demons as far as the pennant was concerned. The Cubs had a chance to wrap it up at Pro Player Stadium in Game 5. But Josh Beckett and the Fish slammed the brakes on a Cubs' pennant party---for a few nights at least. Mike Lowell broke a scoreless tie in the 5th with a two-run blast. While Pudge and Conine also went yard, the two-run shot was all Beckett needed. The #2 overall pick in the 1999 MLB draft went the distance, 4-0, pitching a two-hit shutout, and fanning 11. The first complete game of Beckett's career. For Cubs' fans, the Beckett performance was a setback. They DID win two of three on the road, and still led the series three games to two. It was back to Chicago for Game 6 and Prior scheduled to pitch. And wouldn't they just love to win the pennant on Tuesday in front of their friendly confines.
Wow, Beckett's first career complete game, and a shut out. I did not know that. And because of his poor quality starts in both postseason starts, McKeon has removed Dontrelle from the Marlins starting staff in the postseason and will replace him with Carl Pavano for the rest of the postseason.
It's kinda ironic how the Cubs were on the opposite end of the 3-1 equation in the 2016 World Series and then proceeded to pull an exact reverse of 2003 to finally end the 108 year drought.
Everything seems lined up perfectly for the Cubs. They're going back to the friendly confines with a 3-2 series lead with Prior set to go for Game 6. Things are looking good for the Cubbies. I mean, it's not like they're gonna be derailed by something as innocuous as a fan reaching for a souvenir, right? Right?

It's nice for the Marlins to win GM 5, so the Cubs don't celebrate on their field. But cannot see them winning two in Wrigley. The Northside of Chicago will celebrate its first pennant in almost 60 years, going to be a party at Wrigley.
Forget having to beat Prior and Wood on the road: which Marlins pitcher do you trust to hold up their end of the bargain? Penny, Redman, Pavano….. Rick Helling? They’ve already used Beckett twice.
1:12 Kerry Wood hight-and-tight to Miguel Cabrera. Because of this, Josh Beckett did that to Sammy Sosa in game 5 as well at 7:52. Remember that Sosa has already been hit twice on the head in 2003. This is when Beckett started to get the reputation of a punk. And Roger Clemens will also do that to Miguel Cabrera in game 4
Since I couldn’t watch game 5 the thought at least crossed my mind that it going to game 6 would be alright since I could watch and the cubs could clinch at wrigley. Whoops

1:53 Bottom screen = Frank McCourt has bought the Dodgers. This will be an interesting Dodgers era, both on and off the field
“You ain’t got to go home, but you got to get the heck up out of here”
The highlights for game 6 might actually cross a million

Cubs got this one in the bag
Randall Simon: from bratwurst brouhaha to potentially the Mayor of Wrigleyville

Right?
Pudge continues to have an outstanding postseason. At least one hit in every game
The D Train has run out of steam in October (Florida’s bats bailed him out in San Francisco)
And because of his poor quality starts in both postseason starts, McKeon has removed Dontrelle from the Marlins starting staff in the postseason and will replace him with Carl Pavano for the rest of the postseason.
@@hmhm856 Wow
3:58 Not very often a playoff game ends on a rundown

@@chrisuncleahmad Maybe one but not two.
The Marlins are literally a Mike Lowell pinch hit HR from being swept
You could make a case this series should already be over

I wonder if McKeon will regret not starting Beckett in game 4
Beckett got smacked around in game 1. Because of this, he wasnt gonna start him in game 4 on short rest
Is that the same Chad Fox who blew an Opening Day save vs the Devil Rays?
Since I couldn’t watch game 5 the thought at least crossed my mind that it going to game 6 would be alright since I could watch and the cubs could clinch at wrigley.

10:07 After Fox and Urbina gave up two late homers, can you really blame McKeon for not wanting to go with the bullpen?
How many of those 60000+ that showed up to these games were actually Marlins fans?
Just as the Marlins stole game 1, the Cubs stole game 4 so things even out
3:55 HORRENDOUS final out in game 3 by Luis Castillo
The Marlins actually trail in a series, something they never did in 1997
THEY SHOULD HAVE LOST TO CLEVELAND!!
6:49 oh yeah you sure did
As bad as Beckett was in game 1, he was just as good in game 5
4:01 bruh
8:41 So close of Aramis to hit a home run against Beckett
What if……

Is anybody outside South Florida rooting against the Cubs?
I guess Cardinals and Astros fans
Other than one bad pitch, Zambrano held his own in game 5
