Last night's game started around 7:00 PM and lasted until 12:45 AM...which I stayed up for. After a blown save in the ninth, we went into extra innings - we ended up losing in 18.

Rocket was in line for the win, but Lidge gave up a homer to allow a tie game - the batters went the next nine without scoring a single run, despite amazing relief pitching up until the very end.

I missed all of today's game because it was in the afternoon, but apparently the batters wasted a gem by Pettitte - they didn't get any runs, which sealed up the Cubs sweep of us.



Also, though a bit old news by now, it was announced that Preston Wilson was designated for assignment. I miss him.
