Cubs beat Houston, take series

After spending my day cutting grass. It was nice to see the Cubs finish out the series on a good note and still be somewhat in it for the divsion race. Lofton finally got going today as the Cubs beat Houston 5-3.

Ironically in each game the Cubs limited Houston to 3 runs and won 2 out 3. Cruz looks like the better option down the stretch. He didnt have good location for most of yesterdays game but has enough raw power to pitch himself out of jams unlike Estes. And i will give props to Baker for removing Estes in the 5th today after only 79 pitches. I mean why play with fire? The bullpen has been solid the last week or so.

Overall it was a good series. The Cubs didnt roll over and had some gutsy pitching performances from a couple of our youngsters. Now we just have to figure out how to win at home.
