Wandy makes short work of the first two Rangers batters...
If you looked down, you may have missed it.

And then he hits Hamilton
He could have hit him with a couple of those pitches if Hamilton hadn’t moved…

And Bradley flies out to right.
Pretty quick work.

Bourn squeeks a hit by the shortstop.
1 on, no outs.
Newhan batting second….? uh.. ok.

When's the last time Tejada had a good game?
It seems like as soon as he became 34 he started playing poorly. :p
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 7:16 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Strikes out
He’s become so pathetic. No wonder we aren’t winning. Our number three guy can’t hit the ball.

Berkman and Lee walk. Bases loaded
Up to Pence with 2 outs.
But he’s pretty much just been flailing around lately.

PENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skies one to Tal’s Hill.. Hamilton can’t get to it.
Triple and three runs score. :)

Q bunts himself a single. :p
Like it.
Wandy gets a hit.
Like it.
Bourn goes for a bunt hit.. no go, but he does move the runners over at least.
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 7:39 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Newhan follows up with a double down the right field line.
Q and Wandy score.
I hope you guys are watching. You are missing a good game. :)

Yes, I'm watching....
but I’ll have to leave soon for a tennis match. I liked Q’s bunt….that is what you call a surprise.

Hey.. if we win by 11 runs...
we get the silver boot.. :)
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 7:52 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Maybe 12
I thought it was 11, but didn’t fact check.

Millwood gets a double
Good for him. He’s pitching a horrible game.
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 7:54 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Wandy with only his second strike out tonight.
What gives? :p
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 8:06 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Newhan earning his keep.
Gets a single to left.
Now Tejada, the only hitless starter to bat.
You have to wonder.. when even Wandy and Q can get some hits…
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 8:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Puma gets a hit
But Newhan is out at teh plat like a dumb ass.
That was a good throw though. Runners move up to 2nd and 3rd.
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 8:13 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Lee gets a free pass
and bases are loaded for Pence again.
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 8:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Pence lines out to short
And unlike Abercrombie, is not doubled off at second.
But Wiggy grounds out.
:(

Hmm
Four baserunners on one out and we can’t manage a run.
by pel on Jun 26, 2008 8:18 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I'll excuse it this time since we are ahead by 7
But if we lose… I’m calling for the third base coaches head.

Amazingly
Kevin Millwood has more strikeouts than Wandy this game, so far.
by pel on Jun 26, 2008 8:21 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Q gets a hit off Millwood
Literally.

Wandy flies into a double play
Hrm….

It's nice to turn on the game
and see the Astros up 7-0.
ESPN.com In its preview on Accuscore, or whatever it’s called,this afternoon put the Astros chances of winning arounf 70% . That computer progame picked up on something.

Drayton in the radio booth...
Hearing he and Milo kiss each other’s asses makes me want to hurl.
Hi, my name is Rich and I'm an Astroholic.

Now talking about Chacon.
Blah blah blah blah. Guess whether Milo agreed with everything Drayton said?

Now they are discussing how swell attendance has been on this homestand.
Shoot me now.

Drayton
Seems like a complete baseball idiot.
by pel on Jun 26, 2008 8:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, you think?
Scintillating radio personality, though.
He’s leaving! Thank god.

Another Inning With Multiple Runners
And no runs.
!!!

The calls for the Astros to dump Wandy
have really dropped this season.
Wandilicious!

My Impression...
...is that he’s been more consistent this year.
Before this game, his ERA stats:
Home: 2.10 Road: 3.80
Home/Road divergence is there, but I think a 3.8 ERA on the road is tolerable for Wandy.
by pel on Jun 26, 2008 9:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Rangers looking to break up Wandy's shut out
... with a triple.
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 9:15 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
And they do.
Run scores on a single. 7-1 Astros
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 9:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Wandy gets out of the inning
without any more damage.
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 9:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Do you realize we haven't given up any home runs today?
WHAAAAA?
by entropic soul on Jun 26, 2008 9:23 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Tejada's average
down around .290.. he’s hitting just over .200 for the month of June… I think it’s about time to put the Puma back in the 3 spot.
Go 'Stros!

Villareal in
I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen him…
Go 'Stros!
