Deja Vu, All Over Again

Allow me to be retrospective again. Saturday's game was another replay from 1989. Back then, Cubs vs. Cards. Cubs lose game 1 of the series. They trail late and tie the game in the 8th. In the bottom of the tenth, Dawson walks with one out. Luis Salazar doubles down the line. Dawson gimps all the way in to score from first into the leaping hug of Shawon Dunston. Pandemonium ensues, inluding a great move by Don Zimmer. Instead of running to hug Dawson, he heads to second to congratulate Salazar.

Now, Saturday's game was missing several factors: Rain, September, and a division rival battling for first place. But after the game earlier in the week in Houston, 1989 is fresh in my mind. The Cubs won 93 games that year and won the division by 6 games. They keep playing like this and 6 games might be nothing.
