Heck of a game so far. Dempster's pitching like the guy who earned the #1 spot, and our offense is alive.

Soriano's nothing but warning track power these days...

Looks like it's time to pull Demp

Doesn't he lead the team in homers??

Also why does Quade keep leaving Demp in there for 110+ pitches? He gets left in there one inning too many and teams start teeing off on him.

Wow, talk about leaving Demp out there for a few pitches too many.

Exactly, and now we have to turn to our late inning guys once again, not to mention that Wood blew a lead exactly like this one yesterday.

Quade better update that resume.

This team is 2006 bad.

Cubs win despite Quade trying to let the Astros win.

Can we go on a winning streak? Been win one lose one all year.

I thought initially that Q left Dempster out there too long, but I think he was trying to preserve his bullpen as much as possible, because he's going to need them a lot tonight.

James Russell has the start (Will give us 3 or 4 innings at max) vs. Brett Myers, who always gives us trouble.

This game was an L pretty much from the start.

that box score makes me want to puke

We'll need a bounce back win tonight for sure. This is a series that we absolutely have to win.

Tonight is Wandy Rodriguez (0-1 6.55) vs. Carlos Zambrano (1-0 5.25).

If our offense doesn't play like they did last night, we can take this series pretty easily. Darwin Barney is making a strong case for being our regular 2B, and the 1-2 punch of Castro and Barney seems to be working pretty well.
