------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I saw: Ryan Dempster pitched spectacular for the Cubs, gving up 0 runs in 7 inning. Though he walked out of PNC Park with a no decision. The Cubs had a chance to win twice but didn't seem to get it. Wood gave up a solo home run to Jason Bay, got a blown save, failing to earn his 4th save of the year. After Aramis Ramirez hit a 2 run home run in the top of the 14th, Kevin Hart gave up a 2 rub home run to Adam LaRoche. But Fe;ix Pie had the bases loaded in the top of the 15th, he hit a 2 out, 2 run single to give the Cubs a 6-4 lead after Sean Marshall got his 1st career save after just being called up from Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs like to make things exciting.
