Around SBN: The Worst Season of Francisco Rodriguez's Career Bar-right-arrows



Rubber Game Tomorrow

Well the Astros are putting up a lot of runs against the Phils, but unfortunately, they are also giving up a lot of runs.  14 runs in two games is pathetic...  

I really hate games like this... not much to talk about.  Some people think the Astros got screwed over with some well time bad umping, but I don't know if I can put blame on the umpires.  I'm really just blank on things to say.  Ensberg had a good game, going 3 for 4 and raising his average to .278.  Other than that, basically everyone else was par or below.  

The 'Stros take on the Phillies again tomorrow.  Wandy Rodriguez takes the hill against Freddy Garcia at 12:35 pm.

don't know if this link is the right one but if you search brad lidge on chicagotribune.com you'll get to an article that says this:

" Brad Lidge soon might wish he were back in middle relief in Houston. There's a rumor making the rounds of trade talks between the Astros and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

It makes a lot of sense, actually.

While Lidge has been damaged goods since giving up that massive home run to Albert Pujols in Game 5 of the 2005 National League Championship Series, he fits the profile of high-end pitchers that Tampa Bay seeks constantly."

and

" Both Houston and Tampa Bay appear to have plenty of movable parts. They also have an interesting connection, as former Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker is working as a mentor for Friedman.

You almost never see major trades this time of year, but the pieces are in place for one between Houston and Tampa Bay."
