Pence, Sampson lead Astros over Cubs

Posted on May 20, 2008 by mihoba in Game Recaps

Astros 4, Cubs 2

W: Sampson (3-3) | L: Dempster (5-2) | S: Valverde (13)

AP recap from Yahoo! Boxscore

Footer wrap

Chris Sampson pitched 6 2/3 strong innings and Hunter Pence hit a grand slam as the Astros returned to their winning ways Tuesday night at MMP, defeating the Cubs 4-2.

Sampson set the tone with his first pitch. One night after Carlos Lee was knocked down twice by close pitches, Sampson fired a fastball three feet over Alfonzo Soriano’s head, then got down to business using pinpoint control and a ton of ground balls, pitching into the 7th inning before tiring.Read More

Due to a small miscommunication this recap is a tad bit late.

This was not the way to start a division series. Giving up 7 runs, 14 hits, and 3 walks brought the road-trip fun to an end.

Cubs @ Astros – Dead Beat Cubs (May 19-21, 2008)

Posted on May 18, 2008 by Dark Star in Series Previews

LORD, HERE COME THE CUBS


Puppies of N. Chicago (27-17) at Astros (25-20)

********

The Shit-head Cubbies – the favorite team of such luminaries as Warren Buffet, Bill Murray, Jim Belushi, Pat Sajak (I must say), and John Cusack, as well as George Will, Hillary Clinton, Dick Cheney, and many, many other similar nitwits, drunks, deluded freaks, and just plain losers – are off to a pretty good start this season. The Suck-ass Cubs have been in first place in the NL Central pretty much from the get-go, and currently sport a nifty 27-17 record. That might be a little bit deceptive, though; due to freak scheduling and/or Katy Feeney, the Cubs have already played the perennial-loser Pirates nine times this season, and are a less gaudy 19-16 in games when they don’t. On the other hand, the Fuck-wad Cubs are 5-0 against Arizona and the steM, much better teams. What sort of team are they this year, really? Something between piss-poor and kick-ass, I guess.Read More
