Astros-Cubs 6/17
The Astros can't buy a break. It's bad enough that they're playing mediocre baseball lately; but it gets worse when the Cubs break open a 2-2 game with an inning-extending Texas Leaguer in the 7th. Mo Alou's lazy, two-out pop-up fell between three Astros, and with no need to tag, Corey Patterson scored easily from second. Alou later scored.
Six outs from a sweep.
Break out the brooms
Three outs away.
The Stros are about to endure their second four-game sweep in a month (The Reds did the deed in Cincy a month ago). The last time Chicago swept a four-game set in Houston, yours truly was just a blip on a sonogram. How fitting. Houston's season right now is just a blip on an EKG, in serious fanger of flatlining.
Wise words from a not-usually-wise man:
"Astros right now are on the respirator." - Bill Worrell
Do not go gently into that good night
Berkman doubles, Jason Lane homers, but Houston loses 5-4. Hey, did I see a RFer go deep? Wow. For some odd reason, though, I miss Dalgy.
