Aramis Ramirez and the Cubs Get Revenge, Redemption Against the Nationals [MLB Wrap Up]
Cubs Not Going Down Without a Fight... Yet
Aramis Ramirez and the Cubs struck back with a vengeance at the Nationals after a loss on Friday, and pummeled them right back 9-2.

Ramirez had 3 hits, including two 3-run home runs to lead the Cubs. Ryan Theriot also had 3 hits and scored twice.

On the mound, Ryan Dempster was solid on the mound, giving the Cubs 7+ strong innings once again, giving up only 1 run on 8 hits, while striking out 4. Dempster tied his career high with his 15th win of the season, and has an outside shot of picking up 20 wins on the season with some more great performances down the stretch.

Carl Pavano got his 6th total win as a Yankee, giving him a total of about $6.7 million per win since signing a 4-year contract with the Yankees before the 2005 season. After career highs in just about everyhing in 2004, Pavano just made only his 20th total appearance in a Yankees uniform.

It was successful though, as Pavano struck out 5, gave up 3 runs in 5 innings, and helped the Yankees to a 5-3 win over the Orioles. Jason Giambi's 3 RBI were key for the Yankees.

----- MLB News/Notes -----

Some guy isn't sure that the Mets are trying, since they've only won 10 of their last 12 games.

Trading Chipper Jones might be the Braves' best hope for the future.

Why does everyone continue to slurp the Dodgers out in the NL West.  I just checked the standing today, and realized that the Diamondbacks are a whole 3 games up on them.  Never would've known the way the media is treating them.

Good point. The Dodgers are 11-10 since Manny arrived. Not bad, but certainly not bad, and they certainly need to pick it up, or the Manny trade will amount to nothing.
