Down by four with two outs in the 9th and no one on, Ryan Braun gave the Cubs life. No one's idea of a stellar fielder, Braun looked less than stellar in trying to shoestring Aramis Ramirez's line drive into rightfield, turning it into a double. Then a bouncer up the middle for Jim Edmonds, scoring Ramirez. Then a base hit to right for Mark DeRosa.

Then, the electric moment. Salomon Torres' first pitch to Geovany Soto landed deep in the leftfield bleachers, tying the game.

Here is the video of Soto's game-tying three-run shot.

Three innings later, Derrek Lee drove in the winning run. Here is the video of Lee's hit.

Cue "Go Cubs Go."

The magic number is down to 2.

This is the year.
