Derrek Lee's Game Winning At-Bat
What an at-bat. And we got it because Ryan Dempster was nice enough to blow the 1-run lead in the 9th in his first opportunity as closer. Derrek Lee, leading off the bottom of the 10th, game tied at 3: "Strike swinging, Foul, Ball, Ball, Ball, Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul, Foul." And then the 11th pitch, gone. Video with Len Kasper's excellent call, and audio with Pat Hughes' equally excellent call (and, of course, Ron Santo cheering in the background), available here.

John at Cubs for Breakfast no
John at Cubs for Breakfast notes that we may be seeing the previously expected Derrek Lee power spike following the move out of Florida a year after most thought it would happen.
