Looking like a good prediction so far. :P

Alright guys, lets get a few more runs here.

[Omar]

Good catch by Patterson.. :? inning over.

 

2-2 Tie. Good guys are coming up to bat.

[fallingpieces]

Well let's take em back, and hold them this time.

[Outshined_One]

The hardest hit ball that inning was the deep fly out right there.

 

Yet Houston managed to score two runs.

 

Go figure, imo.

[Flames24Rulz]

finally got out of it. Our offense better continue to get some runs because i have a feeling Houston is going to score a lot tonight.

[OldHappyCubFan]

Be happy the Astros don't have Beltran and Bagwell playing.

 

 

Rusch is getting batted around.

[Schwarber Fan]

Chris Burke

 

pitch 1: ball

pitch 2: called strike

pitch 3: ball

pitch 4: Fly out to deep CF

 

Due up: Patterson, Rusch, Murton

[Outshined_One]

Rusch is getting batted around.

 

Eh, it's not like the Astros are teeing off on him. They're nickel and diming him to death, imo.

Same with us.

[CubfaninCA]

Any defensive blunders yet?? Hopefully Rusch settles down.

[Omar]

Patterson flys out to Burke.

[Schwarber Fan]

Corey Patterson

 

pitch 1: fly out to deep LF

[CubsHawks25]

I'm saying this only in part because he made the quick out, but Corey Patterson has the LOOPIEST swing I've ever seen.

[Omar]

Rusch grounds out. 2 fast outs.

[OldHappyCubFan]

3 pitches, 2 outs. Yay for patience!

[CubsHawks25]

2 pitches, 2 outs.

 

NIIIIIIICE

[Blueheart05]

Any defensive blunders yet?? Hopefully Rusch settles down.

 

No, but I recall the Astros hitting only one ball hard in their half inning (and that was an out).

 

What's with the quick outs???? Wandy is bad, let him make a mistake!

[SwisherSweet]

Well after putting up a good sized pitch count on Wendy in the 1st, the Cubs are going to do the exact opposite in the 2nd.

[Schwarber Fan]

Glendon Rusch

 

pitch 1: called strike

pitch 2: groundout 4-3

[Wild_Cubs04]

Gratz Murton!!!!!

[Outshined_One]

Murton with a HR to right!

 

Off the pole. :)

[CubsHawks25]

MURTYBALL!!!!!!!

 

HR!! 3-2

[Jon]

DING

 

Congrats, Matt!

[Blueheart05]

MAtty with his first career homer!
