The Phillies pulled out a wild win today at Wrigley:
CHICAGO -- LaTroy Hawkins' throwing error led to two Philadelphia runs and helped the Phillies post a 3-2 victory Friday over the Chicago Cubs, who lost their sixth in a row.
The Cubs had taken a 2-1 lead in the eighth on Derrek Lee's two-run homer off Billy Wagner.
Pat Burrell singled to lead off the Phillies' ninth against Hawkins, who was vying for his fifth save. Pinch-runner Jason Michaels advanced on a single that deflected off Hawkins. One out later, pinch-hitter Jose Offerman walked to load the bases.
Pinch-hitter Placido Polanco then hit a comebacker to Hawkins, who fielded the ball but overthrew Lee at first and into the stands, for a two-base error. Two runs scored and the Phillies took a 3-2 lead.
The Phils are horrible, but this just could be the kind of road victory that gives them a bump. Address you condolences to POV.

How can Tony Blair to win three in a row but the Cubs can't?
Man, my team stinks right now. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory seems to be the '05 theme thus far.
The Phils are bad too my friend. That was the only time I recall the Phils nutting it up and getting a tough win.
