Nice effort by Carlos on strike three. Not.

That's me. Johnson needs to quit making errors, too.

Seems unfair to step on Lurch's lines while he's in prison, doesn't it?

McCutchen can't catch Sanchez's drive to RCF (afraid of colliding with idiot Milledge), and then Norris bunts for a single. The Pirates are really, really bad.

JD/Brownie said that Paulino is headed back to Houston for an MRI.

Bourn with a bone-headed base-running play, tagged out at second on a bouncer up the middle. Sheesh.

Which leads me to an important question:

Why are all the homeless people in Chicago so fucking angry?

Nice job, Carlos. You're running out of defenders.

Everything at Goodwill is blue, red and white and says Cubs.

My grandma could put up a better bunt attempt than that.  Pitiful.

You know what?  I have to say, we saw a lot more Sox fans than Cubs fans all week.

The Pirates are pitiful. If the Astros can't beat them, well, things are pretty desparate.

Brownie just confirmed that Paulino is headed back to Houston for an MRI. Moehler is apparently headed to the DL for his groin pull, and Wright is coming up to take Paulino's spot. If I remember correctly, Wright's last Round Rock start was 6+ IP, 2 ER, so maybe there's hope.

Is Norris crying?
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

He's thankful that they brought in Chris "Chuck Norris" Sampson.

Ooops.

Astros are losing to a AAA team, maybe AA, and it's pretty damn embarrassing.

Oops, make that 12-6.
