MLB: Astros @ Cubs 7/28

[AIT]

Dempster wasn't very sharp in the first inning of his first start back, but he only gave up one run.

Tue. nite Cubs-Astro

Since no one else has started our nightly Cibs game lets get it on. Cubs trail early 1-0 top of first. Dempster for the Cubbies and Oswald for Hou.

Not sure what Fukudome was thinking there...

If you hesitate coming around the corner, you won't make 2nd base. :no:

 

[CycloneErik]

D-Lee makes 1st look so easy.

Much better inning for Dempster. Now the Cubs just need some offense. And to stop making stupid moves when they get a hit.

 

[BigSkyCy2]

Did A-Ram cut himself shaving?

Oswalt is out with an injury (groin?) in the 2nd inning. Hmm...

Oswalt is out with an injury (groin?) in the 2nd inning. Hmm...

Not official, but sounds like a lingering back injury.

 

[Psyclone Brian]

I thought it was his back... Wright comes in.

 

[CycloneErik]

Not official, but sounds like a lingering back injury.

The way he was walking makes me think it'sthe groin, but either way, ouch.

 

[CycloneErik]

Sounds like a poll opportunity!

I'm kidding, I think.

 

[Psyclone Brian]

Soriano smacks one deep to the "well" in left field for the final out. (thought it was gone!)

 

[CycloneErik]

Glad we could accommodate this guy for his first major league hit. Nice job, Wesley Wright.

Yeah what a huge and lucky break for the Cubs.

Big innings from the bullpen last night, now big innings coming again as the best pitcher Houston has lately (along with Wandy) goes down after 5 outs.. Ouch.

 

[tidbit]

Wow, $-0, not a good sign. I thought we might have a good shot when Oswald went out!!

 

[CycloneErik]

Just makes the comeback more fun, my friend.

 

[tidbit]

Just makes the comeback more fun, my friend.

Amen to that!!

 

[CycloneErik]

How long does Wesley Wright last in this game? I think that might be a potential advantage for us.

 

[AIT]

Suddenly Wright can't throw strikes. The Cubs really need to get something out of this.
