Chicago Cubs at Florida Marlins, 7:30 PM ET (Game 4)

After a great game 3, I am really looking forward to another cleanly hard-fought baseball game in south Florida. The DH Championship series has degenrated into a brawl, but in this series the pitchers have to hit, so you're less likely to see tempers flare.

Of all the rookies to emerge this year, Dontrelle Willis is the most interesting to watch. He throws harder than a typical lefty starter, which may give the Cubs some trouble tonight. Matt Clement hasn't been sharp in the last month or so: only 2 of his last 6 starts have been Quality Starts (6 or more innings, 3 or fewer earned runs). I expect Pierre, Castillo and Lee to run on him if they get a chance.

Florida favoured to win tonight 55% to 45%

He wasn't just stopped, he was derailed and then exploded.

God bless the Cubs fans. The normally noisy fans in NY and Boston have been very sedate (outside of the stupidity today, of course), but the noisy Cubs fans that travelled to Atlanta and Miami have forced the home crowds to be lively in response. And mocking the Tomahawk chop it still one of my favourite post-season moments this year.

I have put aside my usual indifference and am passionately pulling for the Cubs now. And yes, the way the Cubs fans have acted has been at least partially responsible. Plus it'll really screw the Red Sox, and that's always good.
