I'm watching the game right now in the top of the 8th inning, and I figure by the time I'm done with it the game will be over. Right now, the Astros are leading 2-1. I feel like the Cubs are playing well. Here are some of my observations about the team so far (Oh, by the way, Soriano just jacked a home run off Latroy Hawkins. Score now 2-2)
-Dempster did what he needed to do tonight. I think Lou left him in one inning too long. He looked like he was falling off in the fifth. Should have brought Angel Guzman in in the sixth. Which brings me to the next observation,
-Angel Guzman looked pretty good in his inning of work. Hopefully, he'll stay healthy. That strike out was nasty, and he wouldn't have even needed it if Theriot hadn't had his first error of the year.
-Koyie Hill straight gunned down Kaz Matsui on a steal attempt to second. It was a bullet. Man, I'm glad we chose him as back-up catcher as opposed to Paul Bako. He also hit the ball pretty hard in his first at bat.
-Tejada had a great play on the ball, but Reed Johnson was safe. I knew it before the replay.
-We gave up too many hits to people we shouldn't have. It wasn't like Berkman/Tejada/Lee killed us. When we run into a serious line-up (Mets, Phillies) we could have some trouble.
-It's one thing to not get hits off of Valverde, but who should have stroked most of the rest of those guys.
-That double play really hurt.
-I'm so tired of the word, "drinkability," already.
So much for the undefeated season.
