Aw, couldn't Coop have started Towles today?

So we’d have “the” line-up? Well, it’s close enough, I suppose.

Matsui error

What a way to start. Weeks on second now.

by entropic soul on May 2, 2008 7:08 PM CDT   0 recs

make that 2

2 errors on that play for matsui

by exit53 on May 2, 2008 7:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by clack on May 2, 2008 7:11 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

roy

his control seems a bit shaky so far.

by exit53 on May 2, 2008 7:15 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yet...

he strikes out the side.

by exit53 on May 2, 2008 7:18 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

PERFECT!

that’s even better than the error!

by entropic soul on May 2, 2008 7:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Oswalt 2d to Brett Myers...

for most HRs surrendered this year.

by clack on May 2, 2008 7:15 PM CDT   0 recs

off topic

shawn marcum has 8 Ks through 4 innings tonight. damn.

by exit53 on May 2, 2008 7:16 PM CDT   0 recs

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?

by clack on May 2, 2008 7:25 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Of course

it takes about 3 minutes to get through our half of the inning.

by entropic soul on May 2, 2008 7:25 PM CDT   0 recs

Well,

4 up, 3 down for Oswalt. He hit a batter this time. Good enough.

by entropic soul on May 2, 2008 7:33 PM CDT   0 recs

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!

by SeoulStro on May 2, 2008 7:43 PM CDT   0 recs

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!

by SeoulStro on May 2, 2008 7:46 PM CDT   0 recs

I say the Astros

at least get a baserunner in the fourth.

Great job, Carlos.

Runners on 2d and 3d….and Carlos botches the play and throws to tthe wrong base,

by clack on May 2, 2008 8:15 PM CDT   0 recs

That contract

is going to be a stone around our neck in three years, I am sure of it.

by Triple347 on May 2, 2008 8:17 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

OK...boos raining down...

Tejada boots slow roller and run scores and no out.

by clack on May 2, 2008 8:19 PM CDT   0 recs

Now 4-0 Brewers...

and we have seen some of the worst baseball of the year from the Astros so far.

by clack on May 2, 2008 8:22 PM CDT   0 recs

Maybe this inning

the Astrso will score

ok, nevermind

Damn double play, BOURN!!!

by entropic soul on May 2, 2008 8:35 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by clack on May 2, 2008 8:35 PM CDT   0 recs

Roy O looked extra sharp in 6th inning.

had K’ s on Braun and Cameron. Might be too late though. We will see.

by clack on May 2, 2008 8:41 PM CDT   0 recs

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.

by clack on May 2, 2008 8:47 PM CDT   0 recs

Tejada promised some kid

before the game his next homerun would be for the boy. Came through like a champ. (shades of Babe Ruth)

THAT’S HOW YOU FUCKIN DO IT!

Who would you rather see hit?

Roy Oswalt or Jose Cruz, Jr?

by Joe in Birmingham on May 2, 2008 8:58 PM CDT   0 recs

Jose Cruz Walks

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

roy i think

he has a higher batting average

by exit53 on May 2, 2008 9:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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!

by Joe in Birmingham on May 2, 2008 9:17 PM CDT   0 recs

Astros shut the door

At least for the time being.

by entropic soul on May 2, 2008 9:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

by clack on May 2, 2008 9:23 PM CDT   0 recs

Yikes...Cameron almost with HR

Carlos Lee catches it witth back to Corona Beer ad.

Pence with 2d HR...

barely a save situation now.

by clack on May 2, 2008 9:35 PM CDT   0 recs

7-4 Astros

yikes!

he’s hit more home runs in this game than he did in all of april!

Ausmus is now 2 for 4.

Both infield hit. Aumus is converting himself into a speedy infield hit guy.

another error on matsui

jesus.. 3 errors tonight alone by matsui

by exit53 on May 2, 2008 9:48 PM CDT   0 recs

Six walks today?

Hart has two, Hall has three.

Makes some bad witty remark about the walking H’s

by jonthefon on May 2, 2008 9:49 PM CDT   0 recs

Man, defense has been bad tonight...

I shouldn’t have written the article about the Astros’ defense.

by clack on May 2, 2008 9:49 PM CDT   0 recs

whew

valverde with the save

by exit53 on May 2, 2008 9:51 PM CDT   0 recs

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.

by jonthefon on May 2, 2008 9:51 PM CDT   0 recs

yep

thank god for pence-berkman-lee-tejada
