Aw, couldn't Coop have started Towles today?
So we’d have “the” line-up? Well, it’s close enough, I suppose.
That two base error on the first batted ball
doesn’t give you a good feeling as to whether the Astros are ready to play after the demoralizing loss.
PERFECT!
that’s even better than the error!

I don't know much about him...
other than he is a Blue Jay. But I looked up his pitches on fangraphs and you would think he is strike out pitcher. He throws minimal number of fastballs, 40%, and the velocity isn’t great (87). He throws a lot of change ups though…maybe it’s a trick pitch?
maybe in the third inning
or fourth

Gamecast shows two...
pitches in the strike zone yet they are balls for ROY! WTF?
Come on Roy! Go Stros!
SeoulStro
Biggio and Bagwell for the HOF!
And Carlos Lee
was called out on a ball clearly of the plate in the second.

I can't take this...
Judging from the strikezone on GameCast, Roy should be out of this inning by now!
Go Stros!
Biggio and Bagwell for the HOF!
I say the Astros
at least get a baserunner in the fourth.

ok, nevermind
Damn double play, BOURN!!!

I bet
Bourn doesn’t hit into many double plays this year. He hit that one sharply and still almost beat it out.

After singles by Wiggy and Roy...
Bourn hits into DP. Buzzard’s luck for Bourn. That ball was hit hard.
Roy O looked extra sharp in 6th inning.
had K’ s on Braun and Cameron. Might be too late though. We will see.
Only two runs down and
Four more innings to bat

TEJADA 2 RUN JACK AND BERKMAN WITH SOLO HR

Broadcasters said Tejada told kid....
with muscular dystrophy he would hit HR for him….and he did it.
Tejada promised some kid
before the game his next homerun would be for the boy. Came through like a champ. (shades of Babe Ruth)

Who would you rather see hit?
Roy Oswalt or Jose Cruz, Jr?

Jose Cruz Walks
Roy Oswalt is done for the night. Not a Cy Young performance but he leaves with the lead.

I wonder if Fielder is trying to convince...
Lance to join in his vegetarian diet…as they chat at 1st base.
Bases loaded for Brewers
Astros leaving the door open.
Stop That!

Astros shut the door
At least for the time being.

Geary can't walk batters like that...
and expect to survive like he did then. The bullpen pisses me off. However, the umpire isn’t giving a strike on the balls up in the zone. Roy O was getting too many balls up in the zone early on, and not only was it dangerous but he didn’t get strikes. Geary wasn’t trying to get the ball up so much, but he should have gotten more strikes.
Pence over the fence
7-4 Astros

Man, defense has been bad tonight...
I shouldn’t have written the article about the Astros’ defense.
Urgh`
sloppy play all around today. But a good comeback win.
Matsui’s errors, wild pitches, walking batters, plunking batters, bad fielding decisions, booting the ball. Etc, etc, etc.
It's only fitting
the Astros win afer trailing 4-0 after losing theother day after leading 4-0.
