Astros 4, Cubs 3, 12 innings
Astros won another game on a Wednesday. This one was great. Any win against the Cubs is a great win. Anything that might make a Cubs fan cry, is a great thing.
According to Craig’s series preview, Myers has had some problems with Derrek Lee in the past and Ted Lilly has had way too much success against the Astros. Lilly continued to have success, just not enough to get the win. I do wish that Myers had gotten the win, he just seems to always be in a position for the team to get him a win. I rather think he deserved it, but that was not to be on this Wednesday.
After Pedro Felix hit his homer in the top of the 8th batting for Myers, I was again reminded of Craig’s preview where he mentioned Pedro usually got happy against Lilly, the bullpen pitched scoreless innings until the 12th.
The 12th inning was interesting. The Astros scored three in the top of the inning. Then the Astros go and give away 2 of the runs before the final out. Fun times. The bullpen gave Cubs fans hope many times during this game and then stomped on it. Fun times.
The only thing that seems to be of more interest than an Astros win over the Cubs is all the trade talk about Roy Oswalt. I just don’t have a lot of faith in a trade happening. Don’t misunderstand and think I may not want Roy traded. I do want him traded, I just want to make sure the Astros don’t get raped in a trade. Be sure to check out the TalkZone for all kinds of rumors and discussion on the fate of Mr. Oswalt.
One thing I’ve wondered about. If Roy got traded, do the O’s bros go with him? If they do, then sell Lance fast so the Little Pumas can be shipped out.
