ESPN recap: Here.

Whoever can break the Da Vinci Code surrounding Wandy’s inability to replicate his home performance on the road will not only receive a Cy Young Award, they’ll get a freaking Nobel Prize. Wandy Rodriguez was an artist on this night. The Cubs scratched just 4 hits off the man over eight innings; their lone run scored when Theriot scraped a double off the chalk in shallow RF. Move the man over, score him on a grounder, nice to see you again NL Baseball, where have you been?

Wandy Rodriguez was coming off of back-to-back losses in which he gave up 11 earned runs in a little over 8 innings. Of course, those games were not at Minute Maid Park where the last earnie he surrendered was way back in June. Eny survived a rough 1st and the Astros offense went berzerk to frustrate the Fathers, 7-1. Back-to-back-to-back wins for the Good Guys.

Last night was the Fat Albers and Flapjack Show, with a special guest appearance by the totally resurgent Brad Lidge (as himself), as the Good Guys took the rubber match and the series in a 2-1 affair. All of the scoring came on 3 solo shibbies, which should keep the offensive write-up nice and succinct this morning.Read More
