My Anger is a little tempered because the Cubs ended up pulling out another late inning victory last night, but I can't help wonder about what the Astros did in the past series against the Brewers.  I completely understand why Roy Oswalt had to be by his wife's side during the birth of their child, but why exactly did Cecil Cooper allow Woody Williams to pitch out of the bullpen instead of starting?  Opting to start a rookie pitcher rather than Williams raised some eyebrows in the Cubs organization.  Baseball's unwritten rule says play your veterans against teams in the playoff race and rookies vs. teams who are out of it.  The Astros brass also had the gaul to call and inform the Cubs management why they were doing this.  I would've told them to get lost and watch out next year when they come to town.  Meanwhile the Cubs were playing a motivated Reds team who have just enough talent to be "spoilers" for the second time in three years.  Aaron Harang is one of the best pitchers in the league and he showed why the night before last.  Also, Griffey and Dunn both attempted to bunt their way on last night to combat the infield shift.  The problem is they never do this!  Luckily, the Cubs won despite the shady dealings of the Astros and Brewers fell in extras.
