It's sad to say, but
This is the Shawn Chacon I expected coming into the season.
Bourn to Run!

He is an average starting pitcher...
If he ends up with 4.5 ERA for the season, which he probably will, that will be fine. But that is all the astros have in Backe, Chacon, and Sampson…. a bunch of 4-5 slot pitchers.

Chacon really looking for decision tonight.
Just not the right one.

Bourn
always looks like he’s limping.

Ouch
1st and 2nd with Tejada, Berkman and Lee and we can’t even get one.
All of a sudden Berkman is struggling.

needed more patience from Tejada and Lee...
because Gallagher was struggling with his control. Berkman is just in a bad, slumping place, and we can only hope he comes back to form as soon as possible.

looking brutal so far...
This would be a big win for us.
Pence was the right-handed Ted Williams in 2007.

Cubs Hitters Batting Average: Holy S***
Is Gameday telling it right? All the Cubs hitters starting tonight have season batting averages above 300 with the exception of Ramirez at 287 and Edmonds at 175.
wow.

Hoffpaier (or whatever)

Another strike out for Lance.
He’s lost it.
Hope he finds it again soon.

Carlos Lee is a leaping gnome!!
He jumps high to snag Edmonds’ bid for a HR in front of Crawford Boxes. The ground shook as Lee came down with the ball in his glove.
by clack on May 21, 2008 8:10 PM CDT 0 recs
OMG!!!
Bourn tripled and is 3 for 3 thus far and Berkman is 0-2 with 2 strikeouts. The world is upside down today.
Go Stros!
Biggio and Bagwell for the HOF!

Bourn has a three hit game!
WTF? The sky is about to fall.
by entropic soul on May 21, 2008 8:18 PM CDT 0 recs
I had to turn the game off for a sec
I come back and Bourn has 3 hits and a triple. Unbelieveable.
Berkman 2 k’s. His streak’s officially over.

Chacon may get his first win afer all
It didn’t look good early. But the Astros lead 4-3 in the middle of the fifth.

Why’d they take Gallagher out? I liked him.

Would you pinch hit for Chacon?
Bases loaded two out. Chacon has retired the last nine in a row. Astros currently lead by 2 runs.

and struck out to end the inning.

Uh Chacon...?
Hmmm… well.. the upside to not pinch hitting for him is you get to keep him (he’s not been scored upon since the first) and you can lead off with Bourn next time if he gets out, I suppose. Which he just did.
by entropic soul on May 21, 2008 8:44 PM CDT 0 recs
I agree with keeping him in there
I mean why did he even swing?..there weren’t any strikes being thrown

6th inning is too early for our bullpen....you get someone like borkowski.
So, yeah, it’s tempting to PH for Chacon, but it’s best not to do it.

Man, I’d like to send the Cubs packing with an embarrasing loss.

Chacon
Bad start, giving up three runs in the first…
but he’s faced the minimum since then and is now in the in the sixth inning with 2 outs.
He did allow one hit during that span, but picked the runner off at first.
Interesting.
by entropic soul on May 21, 2008 8:49 PM CDT 0 recs
Make that 5 full innings now
Facing only the minimum.

Re: Chacon
I know Papa Grande said that he had to find that comfort level with his new team… it looks like Chacon is starting to finding that comfort level.
In anycase, I’d like to see him get his first win and get that weird little 0 win monkey off his back.

What happens if Bourn gets a hit here?
Do we plan summer vacations to hell to escape the southern heat?

Interesting that umps have warrned RP Eyer about his slow work
Plate umpire ordered stop watch put on him. Might contrribute to walking Matsui.
by clack on May 21, 2008 9:01 PM CDT 0 recs
Tejada out on medium long flyball.
Berkman with another chance to do something with Matsui on base. Matsui can score from 1st on a lot of balls.

He was riding the media train… I think he’s pushing because of all the nat’l expectations.

Ya, I agree
He was on PTI the other day and said it’s more stressful to hit .400 than .200. Plus the ESPN game and the return home. I’m sure he’ll get back to normal soon.

just bound to happen after he was hitting at such an ungodly rate...
it’s just the normal “return to normal” pattern after tthat kind of streak. Same thing happened to Soriano.

Good job by Chacon. He sliced and diced DeRosa.
With runner in scoring posiition, he pitched Edmonds and DeRosa tough.

I guess Chacon
proved me wrong. I thought we’d start to see the Chacon of year’s past. Another solid start. Possibly a win?

FSN’s pitch tracker showed it clearly inside. One of the bad strike calls I’ve seen this year.

Ramirez walked....I hate walks in that situation.
Ump called those last two balls very tightly….easily could have been fastball strikes.
