I haven't updated at all for this series against the cubs, so I'm gunna give you a rap up of the series.

The first game was a good one. Brandon Backe won the game to stop the Astros 5 game losing streak. The Cubs jumped out early, but Houston mounted a come back and took the game into extra innings. During the eleventh inning Luke Scott hit a walk off triple scoring Eric Bruntlett from first base.

The second game was worse. Houston lost after a nice looking win to Cubs. Once again the problem was leaving runners stranded. This is not a good thing. When you get runners on, you have to score them.

The third game, which was played tonight, was not good at all. The only runs that were scored came off home runs. Two were hit in the first inning by the Cubs, a solo shot and a three run blast. That was the first sign of trouble. After Houston got two Home runs but that was it. The Cubs hit two other home runs in the game. Luke Scott almost came through for a solo shot in the ninth inning, but that was robbed.
