Lets punish them for being Astros.
Thursday, June 17, 2004
I really don't like the Astros. Yeah, the Cardinals are our chief rivals, but I can handle the Cards. The Astros, I just don't like. Seemingly a consistently good team, the Astros have always done in the Cubs when it counted. (Remember 1998 when we lost our final games at the hands of the Astros?) Now, the tables are turned and tonight is a chance to really kick the 'Stros while they are down.
The Cubs are currently riding a 5 game winning streak, which has me feeling pretty good. I am not quite ready to change my mind about the Cubs being underdogs in the Central, but the better our record when Sammy (1 day), Grud (2 days), and Kerry (soon) return, the more likely I'll be to lift the tag, and resume expecting a division title.
Following Tuesday's game, I felt the Cubs reached an emotional high point when they came back in the 9th inning vs. Octavio Dotel to win 4-2.
Yesterday, Wednesday's game was another come from behind W, when we posted 2 runs in the seventh and 8th to win 4-1.
If we can win tonight, we'll have swept the 'stros 4 straight in Houston, and tie our season high of 6 consecutive games.
Lets Go Cubs!
