This is pathetic.

Chacon has retired 9 straight.

Maybe he gets a decision after all.

Great win, the Astros offense really looks like its been on a tear, lets hope they can keep it up.

They've gotten key hits in key situations the last 2 nights(the Pence GS and the Lee HR tonight). I am seriously impressed by Chacon. I was super pissed after the 3-run first inning but he was AWESOME after that. I got to give him alot of credit.

2 out of 3 from the Cubbies, 1.5 games out of first. How's that for a team everyone thought was going to super-horribly-mediocre?

Not too shabby.

Now it would be nice to see Oswalt get it going because he's been pretty damn disappointing so far this season, and despite what some geniuses on the GM board think(NOT NAMING NAMES -cough- BJ) he's still an above-average pitcher who can still be dominant(and our defense behind him is actually pretty solid Mr. Doesn't Watch The Games And Has No Idea What He's Talking About -cough- BJ).

Anyways, um..I meant GO ASTROS!
