Game 17, 2nd Game of series @ Wrigley Field:
Mets - 1 - 6 - 1
Cubs - 0 - 7 - 0
F/ 10 innings
John Maine was in trouble all day but managed to dance out of it seemingly every single inning. Sean Green actually threw strikes to get Maine out of a 1st and 3rd, 1 out situation w/ Zambrano then Fukudome up. Meanwhile Zambrano moms down my guys , 8 IP, 3 hits and 6 K's.
That 8th inning I nearly went bugfuck. Delgado hits a GODBEAM up the middle and the ball is by the 2nd baseman WHO SOMEHOW CATCHES IT. Nearly threw a chair their. Wright rips a liner and the SS makes a jumping catch. Sheff lines a single, then Castillo lines one up-the-middle that Zambrano catches behind his back and throws to 1st for the out... right there for the 1st time I felt like I lost the game. Luckily sweet retribution happened in the bottom of the inning. 2 outs, Soto hits a deep fly ball to the gap that Jeremy Reed runs down before crashing into the ivy. Thank God for sitting Daniel Murphy!
Wasted a RISP chance in the 9th and in the 10th after my daily beating by Marmol in comes Jeff Samardzjilxakslhlfaksna. Throws a 1st pitch FB which I had been taking most of the game. Not with Carlos Beltran up
. Hits the HR to put me up 1. After my annual blow a chance w/ RISP I bring in Frankie for the save. As usual I make it exciting...
Single Fukudome

Cue CSI: MIAMI theme, time to watch Houston beat the Lakers. I look forward to Game 3, we both beat each other's #1 starters.
