3-6-1
Cobra Brigade loved the end of the Cubs game last night.
If you missed this game because you had better things to do, you are going to be kicking yourself. Wow! What an ending. A 3-6-1 double play to end the game after they had a runner on 3rd with no outs!?!? I'm not even certain I would have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. I nearly had a heart attack, twice. Holy crap. Did you see Piniella after the game? I thought he was either going to punch every player on the team or give them a bear hug. He was out of control. This was, of course, right after he came out to the mound and told everyone to 'Relax!' Do as I say and not as I do, I guess....Wow!
It was exactly the type of game you expect the Cubs to lose as they fall apart in the ninth. The Astros fail to get the tying run home from third with no outs, and the Cubs go back into a tie with the Brewers. Interestingly, with Lamb at third and the infield in, Scott hit a slow roller to third on the first pitch. The ball was hit slowly enough that Lamb might have scored if he broke with the ball, but he just didn't get a good read on it. Scott swung hard, just didn't hit the ball hard.
this guy obviously hasn't seen the Astros play much the past two years. Runner on 3rd w/ less than 2 outs hardly ever scores.
