A bunch of bloopers,” said Chacon, Houston’s fourth starter. “It was one of those days where the wind was messing with the ball.

Nothing like taking the responsibility for your performance Shawn. We'll be interested to see what excuse he comes up with in two months when his numbers are merely average.
