5/17 Astros (Moehler) @ Cubs (Harden) 1:20 WGN

bad luck in this game. lots of warning track shots and then soto hits the last one on the screws but right at someone.

 

not getting more runs in the 3rd inning was a killer, as was lou's perplexing decision not to use hoffpauir for fontenot.

 

Or using Aaron Miles at all

 

well yeah i assumed that lou was just stupidly going to use hoffpauir to pinch hit in the 9th. pretty foolish to end a close game having used ryan freel and aaron miles to pinch hit but your best pinch hitter is still on the bench. oh well, we already knew lou's in game management left something to be desired.

Kind of driving me nuts seeing a typo you keep repeating, Fred. It's Keppinger, not Kepplinger. :D

 

Well, of course I keep repeating it..... I only typed it once, eh? :wink:

[Schwarber Fan]

Hoffpauir is probably never going to get another start, too.

 

I guess that's OK as long as Lee gets hot.

I really thought we were going to pull this one out. Oh well, nobody wins em all, except of course the Brewers. 4-1 Home stand not shabby by any means.

I was in the right field bleachers for this one ... it was a good time, but ruined a bit by the score and some middle-aged drunk wench behind us who kept screaming that she deserved a ball "because it was her birthday."

 

The bums were relentless on Hunter Pence. "Hey, Pence ... you're losing the battle against anorexia" and "Who let the batboy play right field?" were a couple of my favorites.
