Reconstructing after the fact, I am forced to conclude that the Cubs had plenty of chances to win, all frittered away. Internal commentary seems to be focussed on the Jacque Jones strikeouts and Mabry facing Lidge rather than Todd Walker, but cripes, the game was there for the Cubs to take when Ramirez hit into the eighth inning double play.
The handy-dandy WPA chart below calls the Ramirez twin killing by far the biggest play in the game, and check it out! It liked the squeeze!
