They had some good opportunities
Two very nice plays in the outfield by the Cubs that inning. It is nice to see Kosuke isn’t taking his hitting slump into the field with him.
What an inning !
A balk that didnt get called and two spectacular catches!!
This game could be the turning point!!

He's absolutely right
There is something terribly wrong with Derrek Lee. Either he’s just getting old, or he’s injured, or he’s losing his eyesight, or he’s in a bad place mentally.
But he does not belong anywhere near the batter’s box in a big spot. He’s a liability.

right....it was right down the middle though....hmmmm....maybe only pitches on the inside are hittable for him anymore
I remember in 2004 how they talked about he was great about the outside pitch, but pitchers would consistently beat him inside. He finally adjusted, and feasted on constant pitches inside. Well, the pitchers have finally adjusted, and he needs to find some consistency. Heck, if you know what is coming, you should be able to catch up to it. and get under it.

There were pinch-hitters available.
Edmonds or Ward – both left-handed.
Lee is batting .200-ish with RISP and 2 out.
So who would play first base in that scenario?
I’d prefer to have his defense at first with a one-run lead.

Actually a bad choice to throw to 3rd
with Ramirez not close to the bag. We got a very lucky break there when Ryan overslid.
sometimes you just need a little luck to get back on track

But from the replays I’m seeing…he should have been called out to begin with.

Unfortunately
I am not sure how much authority he really has in this situation. I know that for an “normal” game, the home team controls the start of the game. If it is raining, they are the ones who decide not to start and or cancel. The umpires/MLB have no control until the first pitch is thrown.
At this point, they are probably just a mediator between the Stros and the Cubs.

by nervousCUBlover on Sep 11, 2008 10:41 PM CDT reply actions
Should be 12...
since the Mets were off today, and both the Brewers and Mets were at 13 coming into the day.
Little early for that.
We are up on the Brewers by 5.5 games, and the Mets are right there with them for record, and there are still 14-17 games left for teams. Too early to determine that, I think.
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

If the Cubs win half their last 16 games, the Brewers would have to win all but 2.
There's no way any games should be played in Houston
Al’s post today was right on the money — neutral site, give the Astros cash for lost revenue. The games need to be played without much delay.

Do two things
Play two games on Sunday and Monday in Atlanta. Gives the Stros time to help their families.
Fly/Bus the Stros and their Families to Atlanta, all expenses paid by MLB,
Play the last game of the year only if needed.

Two games…One Sunday and One Monday.

With all due respect to DLee's Golden Glove
His bat looks like lead …
Do we give Hoffpauir a start and hope his glove is as good?
Well, Next Year is here .. and Jack's century's gotta end some time .. GO CUBBIES!
Sure, and I hope when I go to my mailbox tomorrow
I hope I find $1,000,000 in there. Both are equally likely.
I get the point about the bat, but the glove ain’t gonna be there.

I'm more concerned
about D. Lee’s lack of driving the ball, and the fact that he – as we all know – hits into way too many double plays. I don’t care as much about the Ks.

I'm not suggesting Hoff is the answer
but if Lou can sit Dome down, whose defense is excellent, walks more and doesn’t hit into double plays, don’t you have to consider sitting D?

Dave Kaplan seems to have lost his mind
People are calling in and saying that Cards lost the game. I’m all most of the negativity after a win, but it seems like at this point he is all sunshine all the time now.
Your 2008 Missouri Tigers! #6 2-0 (0-0). Next up Saturday home vs. Nevada. Chase for Heisman!
I used to like Kap
But yesterday he was saying in a roundabout way that Ted Lilly is a better hitter than Geovany Soto because Lilly laid down a bunt.
Um, what?
CUBS WIN! CUE THE ORCHESTRA!
Yep

Even though we only scored three runs...
I am going to say this
Soto missed a double by a whisker and rain drop…I still contend that if it is not raining that kicks chalk
Soto misses a homer by about the height of a US Gymnast
DLEE misses a homer by 2 footlongs
Offense is coming around…I hope

They are playing chicken with God.
The have a Cat 4 Hurricane barreling down on Houston. What the hell are they going to do if this storm destroys the infrastructure of the city and there is no way they can play baseball games in houston.
Just play 2 damn games in Atlanta….Pony up to fly the Astros Families to Atlanta for the game, etc, etc. Then if the third game is needed, play it at the end of the season.
I don’t care where they play the games…i just want them played so we don’t F ourselves by having a DH the day before the Crew series

The Chicago Media
is a bunch of worry warts…
Harden pitches a good game but instead of talking about that, they talk about his velocity. Yeah, he was not flaming it up there…but he has not really be doing that at all in most of his starts. He has been mixing a high 80s, Low 90s fastball with his changeup. He was doing the same shit that Hammels did to us.
To this guys even understand the art of pitching…not about velocity. Location, Location, Location, and Deception

He didn’t have control issues, so what if he doesn’t K everyone. I like it better when he gets pop-ups and has a low pitch count.
