Funny shit how bad these teams are.

Houston has a runner on first. Cubs call a pitchout when the runner decides to steal. The throw is perfect. However, the shortstop, Cedeno, is such a pu$$y that he jumps out of the way of the oncoming baserunner, forgetting he has to tag him first before he jumps out of the way.

Houston then decides to move the baserunner to third with a sacrifice bunt, because scoring a guy from second with these teams may be impossible. So instead of squaring around to bunt, Burke tries to drag bunt, which he promptly does right back to Maddox, who promptly throws out baserunner at 3rd.

If I was Roger Clemens, I'd ask to be traded.

The Astros are so painful to watch when you need runs , been there done that 30 times this year.

And now they pull Clemens for a PH up 3-0 in the 7th.

This will not end well for us Astro backers.

Maybe he was done anyway...last week Garner pinch hit for Roger in the 6th, Clemens only went 5 .

I love the move ! Roger pitched 6 shutout innings and that's all He's good for. Besides... this is the Cubs the Astros are playing... Who's going to score anyway ? Astros :103631605
