Wow
Sampson’s first pitch, way over Soriano’s head for ball 1.. message?
Go 'Stros!

yes. but so high and inside, it didn't seem scary.
Chris, if you want a purpose pitch, it needs to be close to his body. That was above his head.

Sampson's ERA at MMP this year: 15.75. 21 hits in 8 innings.
A no hitter wasn’t what I was worried about. LOL.

Blum batting before Pence

my advice: be selective on swinging at Dempster pitches.
he doesn’t get a lot pitches in the strike zone. Well, Bourn didn’t get the memo.
by clack on May 20, 2008 7:20 PM CDT 0 recs
Bourn sucks out.
Dempster has very strange movement with his hand before a pitch. Or what Stros Bro said. :p

JD says he likes it..
I think it makes Dempster look like an ass clown..

Matsui's...
sliding gloves look like bear paws

Puma is back!
Line drive single moving Matsui to 3rd.
Go 'Stros!

SAFE!
Ooooh, I thought Pence was safe… pretty close play at 1st.

Maybe Towles needs batting gloves
to break him out of this .149 slump he’s in… and when I say slump, I mean season.
Go 'Stros!

A very disappointing year for our rookies so far.
And it doesn’t portend well for the future.

disappointing to see Towles struggling while Soto is a star.
Towles and Soto looked like similar offensive players in the minors and in limited big league time last year. So I expected Towles and Soto to be competing for rookie of the year, or at least best rookie catcher. But so far, no contest.

Matsui always batting
with no runners on and 1 or 2 outs.
by entropic soul on May 20, 2008 7:51 PM CDT 0 recs
That's what happens when
your leadoff hitter has an OBP of .267

Tejada shows some life...a double.
Ball was kept, because it was Tejada’s 1800th hit, if I heard correctly.

All of a sudden
it seems like the offense is scuffling again.

Almost jumped out of my chair...
here in my little cubicle at the office just when I saw Pence with the Grand Slam…Man we needed that!
Go Stros! Keep piling on.

Biggio says:
LOLZ, Now you want me back as your lead off hitter don’t you? :p

a cousin of mine...
is a soccer coach at St. Thomas. I’m a little envious that he’ll have a bunch of opportunities to see Biggio.
The same cousin was also at the game where Bidge got 3000—it was the only game he went to that month. He’d bought the ticket like a month before just in case Biggio was close.

Nice hit by Bourn
just right at the right fielder, more or less.
by entropic soul on May 20, 2008 8:26 PM CDT 0 recs
and Towles...
could really, really use a hit here.

4 pitch walk by Sampson to a rrookie in his first ML at bat....
what more sign do you need that he lost it.

OMG, Brocail is in...
please get out of this…with our lead intact…PLEASE
Go Stros

Brocail and Valverde...
are the only relievers I feel good about these days.
And I don’t cringe when Wright comes in. Can’t say the same for anyone else, I don’t think.

Oh, I don't cringe..
when Nieve comes in. Not because I expect he’ll get it done (it’s too early to know what to expect) but just because I like him and want him to do well for his sake.

Doesn't Ramirez
look like he has a smaller body than he had two years ago?

VALVERDE WITH SAVE!!!!!!
A little dicey with a walk to Edmonds….but all’s well that ends well.

Easy Win
Two homeruns account for all the scoring.
Cubs get a two-run homer.
Astros counter with a grand slam.
Grand slam wins.

Good win
Let’s see if we can take the final game tomorrow…that would be nice. Good to get this win.
Go Stros!
