When did Todd Jones become Eric Gagne?

 

:?

[otis89]

Hawkins againt Pujols in the 8th.

 

I'm calling it. Pujols hits a home run.

 

Guess not.

[indifferent]

Hawkins got so jobbed on the ball call before that.

[Outshined_One]

Doug Davis gets into a bit of trouble in the seventh and gets yanked with two outs and men on 1st and 2nd.

He was at 117 pitches, too.

[Outshined_One]

I hate Luis Vizcaino.

 

1-1, tie game in Houston.

[Outshined_One]

Damian Miller with a passed ball. Runner from third scores.

 

2-1 Astros.

2-1 Astros.

 

Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Is Kane Davis the best you can do in the 7th inning Milwaukee? Sheesh.

[Outshined_One]

The Brewers apparently are finding new ways to lose.

 

The Beege hits a nubber down the 1B line, Kane Davis picks it up right next to Biggio and tries throwing it to 1st, but Beege manages to get hit by the throw.

 

3-1 Astros

[Outshined_One]

Davis is taken out and replaced by Dana Eveland. He gets the flyout to end the 7th. The damage has been done, however.

[Chris]

That play on the Biggio single was terribly ugly

[CubsWin]

Too bad about the Florida score, but we need to root for a Brewers sweep this weekend. I know we're tied with them, and some would argue a split would be better, but I think that a Milwaukee sweep will serve to pull the pack closer together. We'll deal with the Crew later...

My thoughts exactly, Derwood.

 

Have there really been people who think that it would be better if the Astros won a game against the Brewers in this series?

[CubsWin]

With the Marlins victory and including the Cubs win, Cubs fans are 4-1 in games going their way so far. Even if the Brewers don't come back, 4-2 aint bad.

[Outshined_One]

Jenkins pops out in foul territory with Carlos Lee on. Bottom of the 8th coming up.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Though it has no impact on our playoff hopes, the Cardinals trail the Gnats 4-0.

[Outshined_One]

The Brewers' bullpen arms all seem to have a common theme going. Explosive stuff, but plenty of command and control issues.

[indifferent]

Though it has no impact on our playoff hopes, the Cardinals trail the Gnats 4-0.

 

Very sad game on our behalf. Hennessey of the 5.5 ERA owns us for two starts.

[CubsWin]

5-1 Astros after a Lane 2-run HR.

5-1 Astros after a Lane 2-run HR.

 

Figures.

[reggiemiller rules]

In a game that means nothing the Royals are losing and maybe on their way to a 19th straight lose.

[Derwood]

If HOU wins:

 

Houston       ---
Florida       0.5	
Philadelphia  0.5	
Washington    1.0	
NY Mets   	 2.5	
Chicago Cubs  4.5	
Milwaukee	  5.0

 

If MIL wins:

 

Florida       ---	
Philadelphia  ---	
Houston       0.5
Washington    0.5	
NY Mets   	 1.5	
Chicago Cubs  4.5	
Milwaukee	  4.5

 

I think that's right...

[Derwood]

HOU up 5-1 now in the 8th

[OldHappyCubFan]

Pujols chokes it in the 9th with a runner on first and third with one out.

 

Shallow pop up, runner does not advance.

 

Giants still up by one, with 2 outs left in the ninth.

[OldHappyCubFan]

TERRIBLE play by Tucker.

 

TERRIBLE pitching change. Edmonds comes in on the first pitch, to a new pitcher, and whacks one. Felipe Alou is an idiot!
