Astros at Reds – Synchronized Clusterfuck
The Astros swept the dicknose Mets, then won that crazy tornado and lightning game before dropping two more to the dumbshit Cubs. Now they’ve got a four-game set with the Dickities before returning home. Lance Berkman hasn’t hit a homer since the Derby, though non-All Star Carlos Lee is ripping one every day.
The Reds have plummeted completely past the underwhelming Astros and Pirates to take sole possession of the NL Central basement. They’ve lost 8 of 10 games and their last four series, including sweeps by Colorado and Washington. Pee-yew. That shit stinks worse than a week-old plate of Skyline Chili served with a frosty mug of Ohio River sewage. The Reds also just dumped the Messiah, and while Adam Dunn is leading the majors with 32 homers he also has 112 strikeouts.
Ugh.

The Good Guys Brandon Backe got lit the fuck up in the rubber game today, dropping this one in spectacular fashion early. I was all set to labor through a few hundred words’ worth of lamentation and dick jokes, but BudGirl stepped up big time, sending me exactly the recap I was looking for…
Lightning
“My whole concern was the lightning, but also the fact that it wasn’t on top of us,” Crew Chief Wally Bell said Tuesday.
Astros rally but lose it late

Footer gives her take.
Back at Wrigley for an early game after a long, rainy victory last night, the Astros fell behind early, rallied to take the lead, but the overtaxed bullpen cratered late as the Astros fell to the front-running Cubbies of Chicago, 11-7. Read More
Abbreviated Game, abbreviated recap
Astros 2, Cubs 0 (7 1/2 innings)
W: Moehler L: Dempster
The Astros pushed across a run in the first on a strong baserunning play by Miggy, who took second on a deep fly by Berkman (no doubt understanding that Anaheim Jimmy’s arm is toast). That led to a Lee single to right, which drew the worst throw of all time by an outfielder – yes, Bonds in the 92 NLCS has been unseated – as Fukudome managed to bounce one over the dugout when trying to throw home.
Another run followed on three singles and a walk (explanation: Lee was the lead runner).
After that, it was all rain and lightning, and Wally Bell’s stubborn insistence on resuming play when an official game had already been recorded.
