Houston Astros at Texas Rangers, 7:05 PM CDT
Houston @ Texas
BATTLE FOR THE BOOT!!!!
Erstad looks like he's going to get some starts in this series at 1st base and in left field while Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman DH. If Erstad does well in this series and Bourn continues to be a terrible hitter... Then it might be time to start giving Erstad some more playing time and cut down on Bourn's.

Bourn batting 8th
Just before Towles. Interesting.

I would have switched the 2
but I don’t get paid to make those decisions unfortunately

Matsui doubles...
Hamilton makes a running catch in deep centerfield, but can’t hold on to the ball when he hits the ground.

Hamilton has wheels....
espically for a bug dude,,,

Berkman flies out at the left field wall
and Kinsler pretty much repeats that performance when the Rangers come up to bat.
by entropic soul on May 16, 2008 7:18 PM CDT 0 recs
Ok, did Matsui forget how to field his position?
How many errors does he have this year? 8?
by entropic soul on May 16, 2008 7:19 PM CDT 0 recs
I have Milton Bradley on my fantasy team....
creates conflicting feelings when he flies out.
by clack on May 16, 2008 7:23 PM CDT 0 recs
And now Matsui's error leads to a run.
He owes us a run now.

Pence tosses a foul pall up to an Astros fan ...
he can’t make the catch and a Rangers fan snags the ball.
Plus. Chacon is sucking today.

Astros get on the board
Back to back doubles from Lee and Erstad.
by entropic soul on May 16, 2008 7:34 PM CDT 0 recs
The Abyss of the order to bat now.
out 1, 2 and 3 coming in order. Hopefully they can get Erstad home before that though. :p

Bourn grounds out
but at least he has an RBI to show for it.
by entropic soul on May 16, 2008 7:36 PM CDT 0 recs
Ground out, ground out, ground out.
Uh huh.
3-2 Rangers.

Chacon is weak.

Determined not to make it 9 consecutive no decision by blowing this game.

Having a good season
already 45 RBI’s this season… but he don’t hit like Lance

It’s ruining our mojo.

Wiggles gets himself a hit
10 more of those in a row and we could tie this game!
by entropic soul on May 16, 2008 8:26 PM CDT 0 recs
Looks like
Chacon’s giving the Stros a challenge to try and preserve his no-decision.
Ten bucks we tie it and Hamilton hits a massive walk-off shot off, let’s say, Villareal.

8-5 now. This could be a high scoring game.
Nice swing of the bat by Tejada. I’m glad he survived the take out slide by Carlos Lee on that foul pop up.

Berkman
knocks on off of Ponson’s foot that probably would have gone up the middle anyway.
by entropic soul on May 16, 2008 8:36 PM CDT 0 recs
8-6 on a Lee single.
Other than Tejeda’s hit, the Astros have been dinkin’ and dunkin’ this inning. Hit em where they aint.

Caballo
sends a single that scores Miggy. 8-6 Dallas-er, Rangers.

Erstad rips one into left field.
Scores Berkman, slow ass Lee out at the plate.
8-7 Rangers.
by entropic soul on May 16, 2008 8:40 PM CDT 0 recs
Erstad drives in a run, but Lee thrown out at plate.
Not exactly great form by Lee.

Psychowski still pitching
so… i say 11-7 by the end of this inning. :p

Ponson done after 5
and giving up 7 runs.
See? told you he was no good. :p
He is only charged with 3 earned runs, which is pretty much a joke since it’s HIS error that did and we pretty much had to give him the last out. :p

Bourn steals...he needs to steal every chance against Salty...
Anyone recall that Saltamacchia allowed something like 6 steals in a game last year?

It was remotely my fault
I think they took it the wrong way.
I basically introduced myself as a Stros fan who gave up on the Rangers after they signed A-Rod.
Oh wait, I think they rectified it. Or it was some SBNation bug.

How 'bout Hunter's reaction after he bounced off the wall?
by clack on May 16, 2008 9:25 PM CDT 0 recs
you mean
after he picked himself up off the ground? :)
You have to love the way he plays the game… even when he’s not doing well, he at least seems to play the game the right way.

And that other Angel guy
There’s two of them out there tonight.
Why, though, they left Wright in for two hitters too many. He should have been pulled right after the 9th run was scored.

so what happened that ended up with Cecil getting tossed
by ol Pete on May 16, 2008 9:55 PM CDT 0 recs
Pence tried to throw out Kinsler
at the plate and to the Astros dugout, it looked like Towles got him since the arm kind of went between the legs, but the feet got there first. Cooper jumped around yelling about it, but didn’t appear to be rude about it in any way, but Angel Hernandez tossed him anyways because he’s a dick and that’s what he does best.

Rangers scored. Coop was pissed. Argued about it till he got tossed.

If our infield defense had not taken the day off
we’d be winning this game. I guess they can’t play without Lance.

Rangers announcers:
“Something about the Rangers and Astros playing each other seems to produce a large amount of Ranger home runs.”
No shit. We both play in band boxes.
by entropic soul on May 16, 2008 10:02 PM CDT 0 recs
looking at gameday
it must be close to a record for a number of highlight videos. They’ve got the Pence catch. Guy is a hoot.
