Cubs 3, Astros 4
W: Norris (6-8) L: Coleman (2-5) SV: Melancon (12)
I totally missed seeing this game. I thought I was recording it but that did not happen which makes me sad. It was my plan for the evening after running errands. Oh well, the Astros won and that is all that really matters. The Astros beating the Cubs and winning the series is the kind of thing that makes Baby Jesus and Mohammed smile.
From what I read in the GameZone, Bud played with fire a couple times in the game and got yanked in the 5th. Surprisingly, the bullpen was able to go 4 innings without giving up a run. Will be interesting to see what Keppinger does to this bullpen when he comes to town this weekend. Altuve only got one hit, slacker. I hope he does a better job when I get to see him in person on Friday!!! I also hope I get an umbrella, I left my old, broken Astros umbrella at a bar and need a replacement. Plus, there are fireworks on Friday night!!! I love fireworks.
Lots of things are changing for people right now. Summer is about over. Kids are going back to school. I have to start getting up early for work. The time cushion I have is going to be gone Monday and it is already made worse because of the Metro construction happening around work. Football is getting ready to start, so get ready for a lot of UT threads in that regard.
Pope Benedict XVI is in Madrid, Spain. There is suppose to be a strike of airline workers while he is there. Not sure why. Get ready for the campaigning to start for the next US President. A number of people will be lying to you.
Special shout-out to Neil T. for sharing the Brad Ausmus news. He obviously knows how much I love and miss Bradley.
The temperature here in Houston is expected to get up to 104 degrees. That is hot!!!
I’m looking for suggestions on how to determine the winner of RFTL, because right now HudsonHawk and Limey did not get their picks in timely and technically are not qualified picks. PM me your suggestion. I may use one or just save the money and buy myself a Cowboys shirt.
