Today's game is not being aired on national TV.  Not sure if FSN/my20 or channel 2 just didn't feel like buying the rights to this game or what the deal is, but for those of you who don't have MLB.TV, you are pretty much out of luck if you wanted to watch this game...  I say pretty much, there is 1 way to get to watch the game for free.  You can get a free 5 day trial of MLB.TV by clicking this link and signing up.  You will probably have to give credit card information and all of that and you will have to cancel the account before your free trial is up, otherwise you will be charged for it.  But if you want to watch the game... there you go. 

I haven't decided if I'm going to try it or just spend my time elsewhere.  You can still listen to the game if you'd like on AM 740.

Astros look to go for their longest winning streak in over a week!  2 games..

No Pressure

As of the start of this game, Astros are in last place in NL Central.

Go get ‘em, boys!

No TV because...

Game is starting too early. :(
It’s within Fox’s exclusive saturday afternoon baseball window.

Don’t know why the game is scheduled this early though.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:11 PM CDT reply actions  

you would think they would

sell the rights if they weren’t going to broadcast a game… at least in cities they aren’t broadcasting games.

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jun 21, 2008 5:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

No.

You have to watch who they want you to watch. :)

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

Radio It Is, I suppose

Perhaps it’ll show up on TW77 in Austin after the Red Sox / Cardinals game.

Cardinals mopping the floor with Red Sox, btw.

by pel on Jun 21, 2008 5:12 PM CDT reply actions  

Damn

Carlos had a bid for a couple of RBis there… but Upton was able to catch up to the ball in center. :(

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:20 PM CDT reply actions  

Good first inning....?

Two men on base.. Tejada singled and Berkman drew a 4 pitch walk. Lee and Bourn had some good hits that were caught.. so that could mean good things for later in the game possibly.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:24 PM CDT reply actions  

Erstad grounds out.

1, 2, 3 inning…

Jackson at 29 pitches so far:
1st = 18
2nd = 11

Interesting note.. first pitch to every batter except Pence was a ball.
Plus… he’s throwing almost nothing but fastballs.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:33 PM CDT up reply actions  

Top 3

Quintero burkes on a 2-2 count. 3rd base side, foul territory.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:40 PM CDT reply actions  

Bourn

Grounds out… 2 down.. and things not looking as good anymore.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

Bot 3

Ruggiano (?) grounds out…

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:45 PM CDT reply actions  

Wandy Strikeouts = 5

Back to back strike outs.

Riggans and Bartlett to end the inning. :)

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 5:49 PM CDT reply actions  

Bottom 4th

Iwamura lines out to Tejada.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:00 PM CDT reply actions  

Aybar doubles :(

Wandy got behind in the count and Aybar made him pay. 1 out.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Crawford triples to left center...

Aybar scores.. 1-1 tie…..............................

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

Upton walks...

Wandy seems to be losing his control. Either that or he’s suddenly getting squeezed.. but that doesn’t make much sense and the radio guys haven’t mentioned it.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

Top 5

Erstad.. grounds out. :(

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:10 PM CDT reply actions  

Quintero grounds out

Good play by Iwamura to get the out.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Borun grounds out.

Ugh? It’s almost like we didn’t have an inning. can we work the count maybe?

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:12 PM CDT up reply actions  

I saw Glenn Davis in a Broadcast booth

Does he broadcast Rays’ games?

Astros fan for life

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 21, 2008 6:37 PM CDT reply actions  

Wandy leaves with bases loaded

in the 6th.. 2 outs. He will not get the win today thanks to an inept Astros offense.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:40 PM CDT reply actions  

Geoff Geary in for Wandy

Rays have bases loaded , 2 outs

Woo!

Now let’s see if we can.. do that one thing.. what’s it called? oh yeah, score.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

Woo!

A Lee single and a Blum double… gives us 3rd and 2nd with no outs.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:48 PM CDT reply actions  

And he strikes out

ON THREE PITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 6:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

Matsui 0-2

Seriously..?
Is Cooper telling them to try to strike out as fast as they can?

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 7:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

Matsui flies out.

How fast is their damn outfield?!!!!

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 7:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

Two Base Strike Out

Lance Berkman strikes out and gets to second on catchers bad throw past first.

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 21, 2008 7:18 PM CDT reply actions  

Oops..

Berkman strikes out, but the catcher drops the ball. Then the catcher throws the ball into Berkman’s back. :p

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 7:18 PM CDT reply actions  

Berkman steals third

I think the Astros funk is over

The score disagrees at the moment.

The Howell guy is fooling the hell out of our hitters.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 7:23 PM CDT up reply actions  

Astros lead 3-2

Ground ball to third. Lee out at second. no throw to first .Rays argue interference at second. Berkman scores

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 21, 2008 7:25 PM CDT reply actions  

The play in question...

Up on gameday now.. Unfortunately, the camera starts to pan away as Iwamura is about to throw and when he doesn’t, it’s already gone. So we don’t see if there was any interference.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 7:33 PM CDT up reply actions  

Lee

slid well past the bag, but it’s hard to tell if it might have been interference. at first, it looked like the Rays manager was arguing that Lee grabbed Iwamura, but Iwamura didn’t appear to make any attempt to throw and looks in the video like he easily dodged Lee’s slide.

by littlevisigoth on Jun 21, 2008 7:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

Pirates and Brewers are both winning their games.

No where to go in the NL Central today but down, it seems.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 7:31 PM CDT reply actions  

So...

Last regular inning… 1 run lead… hmm.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 7:46 PM CDT reply actions

Astros lose

I don’t want to talk about it.

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 21, 2008 7:56 PM CDT reply actions  

four batter

two runs, no outs… too many one-run games for Brocail and Valverde, who are both clearly struggling right now. just when you thought we might string a couple together. rough.

by littlevisigoth on Jun 21, 2008 7:57 PM CDT reply actions  

WTF Brocail?

You couldn’t even get one out? One freakin’ out?

Houston now officially worst team in the NL Central.

by entropic soul on Jun 21, 2008 8:00 PM CDT reply actions  

My recollection is that Valverde was misused somewhat in the Orioles series...

in any event, the overuse of Valverde in Baltimore comes home to roost.

by clack on Jun 21, 2008 8:05 PM CDT reply actions  

Any word as to whether Brocail...

has demolished any furniture in the visitors’ clubhouse?

by clack on Jun 21, 2008 8:09 PM CDT reply actions  

last time he had a bad outing

he had ice on his hand after the game..

Go 'Stros!
