People talk about Theriot has being a choker. Fontenot has been awful in the clutch throughout his Cubs career. He Kirk Hinrich'd that bunt attempt.

Why is Valverde hateable? He's a really good closer who has emotion, obviously unlike anyone on this team. I don't hate Tejada, I'm not saying I like him for taking steroids but at least he seemed to have some remorse about it. I do hate Hawkins, however for obvious reasons.

If we're squeezing on that play, we should have put Blanco at the plate. Maybe too obvious?

Jeff Stevens looks like he could be a pretty good pitcher in this league.

Why not just have Fox hit a deep fly ball like he usually does..

I thought the suicide squeeze there was a dumb play.

At first I thought Lou was playing the lefty righty matchup. I wanted Fox to hit with just 1 out.
Stevens looks great.

I thought the squeeze was a good call. I was not even thinking squeeze at all nor did the Astros. If Fontenot gets that bunt down, game over.

This may have been a good trade by Hendry.

Len telling us that there are no empty seats. Meanwhile, I see 10 empty seats behind home plate.

Cue Blum game winning Grand Slam. Cubs fans should stand up and give him an ovation and chant "MVP"
