First three hitters single. 1-0 Cubs already, with runners on the corners.

Astros get one back, but Lee is thrown out easily at the plate--don't know what Dave Clark was thinking there. 2-1 Top 2

Maybe he was thinking that Carlos is twice the size of the Cubs catcher, and surely he'd at least try to knock the ball loose, instead of just meekly sliding into the tag?

Betting against Soriano isn't necessarily a bad strategy.

It's a short field and a old fat ass running. Even Soriano could hit the cutoff man from there. Plus, Clark couldn't see the play in the corner. It was an indefensible boner.

Wow, am I ever glad I decided to turn the game back on! Just in time to see Downs' AB.

That has to be a pretty fuckin' awesome feeling for Bogusevic. Even if his MLB career never amounts to much, not too many guys can say they've hit a walk-off grand slam, down by 3 in the bottom of the 9th inning. Wow.

Was rewatching the highlights this morning...entertaining to see Altuve trying to grab a batting helmet out from under the home plate celebratory scrum.  Wouldn't want anyone to sprain an ankle.

Games like that make me smile at the people who "had enough" and went to bed early.

My sentiments entirely. Even when I go to bed, the game is on in the bedroom. I love me some Astros. It doesn't matter whether they are great or awful.

Am I the only one who is wondering if Bogusevic might have turned a corner lately?

JD seems to think he might be turning that corner.  At least that was the impression I got last night listening to him.

He's raised his average from .205 to .290 in his last 10 games.

For his sake, and ours, I hope he turned the corner and keeps going.

Well, it was in the recap the other day but that would mean going to the front page and we all know that's not going to happen. It doesn't even exist.

Bogusevic has discovered a power stroke and maybe things are coming together for him. He’s hitting .288.

Mills called the shot

Quote
Brian Bogusevic swung mightily twice and did no damage.
 
About then, Astros manager Brad Mills decided Chicago Cubs closer Carlos Marmol was right where Bogusevic wanted him. Mills turned to bench coach Al Pedrique and called the shot to center field that turned into a game-ending, pinch-hit grand slam and a 6-5 victory on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park.
 
“I told Al, ‘He’s going to hit it over the Corona Light sign in left field,’ ” Mills said. “He pulled it a little bit more, but I’ll take it. That was just tremendous. The way he was swinging, it looked pretty good.”

Nice that he is still optimistic.  I was satisfied when the tying run came to the plate.  The rest was gravy.
