As I mentioned in the Bean Count article, Chacon and Bush have both given up 12 HRs and were tied at 7th most in the NL . Bush has a history of pitching well against the Astros. His career ERA against Houston is 3.45.

he was getting some good swing; may be just as well.

Ding

1-1 game. Tejada’s throw could have been better. Replay shows that he should be out.

Does Bruan score from second on a ground ball to tejada?

this is bullshit.

Don’t know why.

Sucks out swinging!

dooobel? dubal?

is supposed to be a good defender. But he’s not. Play Erstad.

Brewers hitters decided they will not try to move out of way of close pitches.

Where is Nolan Ryan when you need him?

Hart finally K’s.

I’m not sure I will waatch this game much longer. Too frustrating and I have other things to do.

now Branyan homers. Astros aiming to set all time home runs allowed mark.

Fuck them. They blow.

Why are we giving away runs? Of course we are going to lose if we keep walking in batters and hitting batters with the bases loaded.

and I’m glad. Wouldn’t have hung in there for long, I’m sure. This losing streak reminds me of the past two years’ teams, and it’s like—oh, right, here’s the Astros I know.

And I wish that I had confidence that it’s just a low streak. I hate it, but it became Pavlovian to expect them to suck. At least it was fun for a while, a hell of a lot more fun than the past two years.
