    They choose not to send the runner on Lee after Theriot singles.

    Probably the right call.

    A DP will get us out of the inning.

    Lindstrom induces a shallow pop to CF. Runner held at 3rd.

    1 out to go.

    Tim Byrdak? Don't the cubs have Nady who kills lefties? I hate Soriano, especially when he hit that walk off grand slam and pulled a John Cena and pointed to the 'Stros bench :mad:

    I had no faith that Byrdak would get it done.

    But he did.

    And I'm an eternal cynic.

    I wasn't talking about using Lyon but rather not using your closer in the 8th in a tie game.

    Not a big deal. Just found it strange.

    Has Lindstrom come in to start the 8th at any point this season?

    Bourn pinch hits and lays down a terrible bunt that allows them to throw out Castro.

    He needs to steal now to partially make up for it.

    Our speedsters with a couple of lousy ABs kill what was a good start to the inning.

    Should have sent Michael, but the Cubs were definitely on to him.
