That hurts bad.

When a starting pitcher come out and does a great job, keeping the Opposition to 1 run in 5 innings, and then the bull pen comes in a absolutely obliterates any chance of winning, it hurts.

That's what the Astros felt today. Woody Williams had a good outing, but it didn't get the Astros anywhere. The Chicago Cubs won the series because of a bad bull pen experience. They hit two homers including a two run shot off of Chad Qualls in the eighth to break a tie.

The Cubs won 6-5.

The Astros next outing is going to be in Milwaukee to face the Brewers. Houston is going to go with Roy Oswalt who has a had an amazing season. He's on a six game winning streak right now and would love to extend it. The second place Brewers are looking to Ben Sheets to earn them a win.
