The Fall Out from a wild fourth


Pete Wentz knows a thing or two about hits.

Mr. Ashlee Simpson was on hand to perform a lackluster rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during Saturday's game at Wrigley Field, but the real pop and punk outfit was the Chicago Cubs' offense.

Fresh off an "are you kidding me, let's go get drunk and celebrate/forget about how miserable things are" walk-off job by Aramis Ramirez Friday afternoon, the Northsiders overcame a 4-1 deficit by hanging a nine-spot on the hand-operated scoreboard.

The inning featured as many home runs by Jim Edmonds as tattoos commemorating fallen teammates (two) that are on his wrist. Want more stats? How about these crooked numbers: Nine runs, eight hits, four home runs and a walk. Somewhere Tim Kurkijan was laughing manically, thumbing through his Baseball Almanac just pondering what type of stats-centric coverage he could put together to pair with his ever-cracking voice.
