Second LHP in 5 games
I think.
Anyway, Soto is catching for the Cubs today and the Brewers were 5 for 5 in steals againt him in the last series, so we should be running like crazy during this series.

3 quick outs
Top of our order goes down pretty fast. I hope t his slow start doesn't cause Cooper to start messing with the line up.

coop
agree w/ your thought, esp since I believe that managers have a relatively insignificant part in w/l over the course of a season.
it would be interesting to study whether a good manager can improve a bad team, or vice versa. difficulty in actually defining "good" and "bad" in terms of managers though.

gamecast weather
the addition of the current conditions in the lower left corner is a nice touch.

radio affiliates?
what good is it having a radio network if they don't broadcast any games?
I know the reasons and that it's not going to change, but it sucks that the Astros affiliate in Austin hasn't broadcast any of the games so far this week. Right now we've got Jim Rome, instead of the game. Why bother?

Hunter looks horrible
He is pulling off the ball so bad right now. That last pitch was down but right over the plate and he pulled way off. And he needs to be more selective. Off to a bad start
My first mistake was assuming you knew what I was talking about.

have Matsui back, hitting second right now.

Cubs done.
They didn't fare any better than. Sampson used one more pitch than Lilly to get through the first inning. Now we see if our Lee has more luck than theirs. :p

Absolutely
One of those running catches in which he went airborne (air-Bourn?) as he caught it and managed to hang on as he ate grass on the landing.
Given my signature, maybe we should start calling him Waterboy? Or maybe AirBourn will do.

not watching on TV. What about the hit to RF by Fukudome? Should Loretta have picked that one up?
by lnewcomer on Apr 4, 2008 3:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
they were at DP positioning
maybe someone with better range like matsui. He came real close so I think Matsui would have stopped it but FUKU runs well and no play by any 2B I think.
Wiggy just missed it. I replayed it on tivo and the ball was 3ft to Wigs left and his swipe missed the ball. He was in position to make the play he wiffed though.

by lnewcomer on Apr 4, 2008 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Soriano really whiffed on that triple by Tejada
He misread the carom off the wall down the LF foul line and missed the ball by about 2 feet (at least). So the ball bounced back into LF and allowed the score and Miggy to third. Would have been a double no doubt, but I'm not sure if Berkman scores or not.

Gameday says Wuertz is a righty
I think that is correct, but it's been a while since I've seen him. I'm surprised that Erstad hits at all, and is even on the roster.

OK...I thought broadcasters
said he was lefty, but I might have mis-heard or they may have made a mistake.

Game over. Astros Win!
Wright gets the win.
Valverde the save.
Lieber the loss.
Towles & Tejada get big RBI and Wigginton's sac fly to drive home Tejada looks really big after DeRosa's drive in the 9th. Give an assist on Soriano for atrocious OF defense on that one.
good night America, wherever you are.

Solid games
Solid games from Sampson, Tejada, and Towles
Wesley gets the win... maybe some of our starters can win a couple at some point
