Still working here on the left coast, so if anyone is inclined to do inning summaries it'd be appreciated!

Oh, the poor Cubbies aren't happy about the possible change. I think we all know what we say about that.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Any comments on Hunter's swing or approach?  For those watching more closely, have you seen improvement these last few weeks?

Castillo- pop to right
Abercrombie- dribbler to first.  he dodges LaRoche's tag then slides into first- Safe
steals on first pitch- barely safe
Quintero- pop to short in shallow left
Moehler- lines to shallow center

astros 2-0
