It's Raining in Chicago! (A.Rodriguez vs. Lopez)

Allow me to properly take in the sights and sounds in Wrigley Field for a moment.  At least during the game it was partly cloudy with highs in the upper 40's.  The air is fresh and the scene is ripe for home run after home run after home run after home run.  That's right, four homers.  In the top of the fifth, Clint Barmes and Hunter Pence hit back to back homers to tie up the game at 6 a piece.  Then J.R Towles and Jeff Keppinger joined the slug fest with home runs of there own.  Now Rodriguez allow 6 runs in 4 innings, so  how did the bullpen hold up?  One run in 5 innings.  Was it enough?  Yes!  With Keppinger's 3 run homer in the top of the ninth it sealed the game up for the Astros.  Final score 12-7.  It still scared me with the Astros lead, which still has me thinking that Houston, we may have a problem.
