Today in 1908 - Cubs come from behind in the 9th to win in 10. Also, do something with your looks,

The Cubs rallied in the 9th to pull out a 10 inning, 4-3 win against Brooklyn. Also, do something with your looks, woman!

Ho hum ... another day ... another Mordecai Brown shutdown appearance.

It's to the point where we may need to exhume his body just to make sure he didn't have some sort of Terminator arm or something. Three days in a row the guy has made a relief appearance, while sticking to his normal starter schedule as well.

Jack Pfiester started this game, but after getting pinch hit for in the 9th, Brown came in and shut the Dodgers down in the 10th to get the win.

Worth mentioning that the pinch hitter was none other than hobbled great Johnny Evers. The Tribune described Evers as "wearing a pink rubber kimono" on his injured leg ... whatever the heck that means. Regardless, he came in to pinch hit in the 9th and was promptly drilled in the shoulder by a pitch from Napoleon Rucker.

That made it first and third for the Cubs, and gimpy Evers then managed to beat out a ground ball to short that loaded the bases. After that, Rucker collapsed and walked in two runs to force extra innings.

Equally gimpy catcher Pat Moran was the hero in the 10th, but I'm also pretty sure God is out to get him. Here's a guy who's already limping around on a bad shin that allegedly had some sort of protective piece of iron riveted to it. Anyway, Moran delivered the game winning sac fly, but not before fouling a pitch off his own MOUTH on the pitch before. I mean ... this guy is having one hell of a painful week!

On the bright side, victory makes things feel better, and the Cubs pull out a huge win 4-3.

In other news, you ladies need to stop looking so frumpy! OK ... that's what the women's advice column said in the Tribune, so you can go get mad at them instead of me.

The advice today was to consider putting a mirror in your kitchen. Why? Because it's a "gentle reminder to the busy housewife [to] give some thought to [their] personal appearance." That's right woman ... stop looking so frumpy while you're in there slaving away over my dinner!!!

And you thought housewives had it rough in the 1960's on Mad Men ... I'm pretty sure the 1908 housewife would've been thrilled to live like Betty Draper!

In summary ... the Cubs win puts them at 43-27 on the year. Pittsburgh lost 5-2 to the Phillies, so the Cubs now lead by a game. Those very Phillies come to town next for a six game series starting tomorrow.
