Well..

We’ll see…

Looks like Tejada, Wiggles and Ausmus all sitting today.

Moehler Mania!!!!

So far he is pitching a perfect game in the middle of the 2d inning. :)

lookin' great!

In character so far.

Pence was the right-handed Ted Williams in 2007.

Damn

The Cards are 10 games about .500… geeeeez

Here's to

a better O on this homestand.

Plus Verlander is getting screwed over yet again by the Tigers offence.

What happened to the Astros???

I’ve been at the beach with family since last Sunday and could not hear or watch any games. All I heard was a string of losses on an important road trip. I turned on the game tonight and the Astros score two runs immediately to take 2-0 lead, but Pence is in thelead-off spot and Quintero has taken Towles place.

What happened on the disastrous road trip? What happened to the team?

OK, I'll try to explain....

A few poorly pitched games (particularly in the Brewers’ series)...but mostly because the offense turned into a pile of crap. The offense made last year’s Astros’ team look like the 1927 Yankees.

Lead off double for Erstad.....

What a productive reserve outfielder.

by clack on Jun 6, 2008 8:07 PM CDT   0 recs

2 more runs score on Izturis' error....

Berkman with a great slide at the plate, since he was basically dead with a throw right on the money. But he slipped the tag and scored. Lee on 3d with no outs. Now Lee scores on a grounder, and ill advised run home. Pujols had him dead also, but Molina dropped the ball. Lee first called out and then safe, when ump saw the drop. JD says Molina heard El Cabella’s hoofs…..which is funny idea, considering the prior Towles/Backe incidents.

Odd inning

We don’t seem to get many innings like that in favor of the Astros.

Go 'Stros!

5-0 feels good

The role players (and Hunter Pence) are leading the way.

Moehler going deep!

Not home run deep… deep into the game… He’s only pitched more than 5 innings 1 time… he’s already into the 6th now and looking good on the board and the pitch count. Hopefully he can keep this up

Go 'Stros!

moehler witth good command so far.

I like JD’s explanation: hitters are underwhelmed by Moehler’s stuff and think, “I should be able to hit this guy.” Then they go up there swinging at early pitches….which Moehler locates on the edges.

by clack on Jun 6, 2008 8:48 PM CDT   0 recs

OK, I had to say this....

Moehler is chewing up the Cardinals.

by clack on Jun 6, 2008 8:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It's amazing how good

an average stuff pitcher can be if he locates and doesn’t leave balls out over the middle.

Go 'Stros!

Sup Fellas

Yeah man – Moehler has been a real surprise this season. Good to see him having a good game.

I hate the wave

Maybe I’m just “totally lame” but one thing I will never join in on is the wave… I hate to see it at games and if I’m with someone who does it.. I give them the evil eye and make fun of them… am I mean?

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jun 6, 2008 9:03 PM CDT   0 recs

No

I don’t mind, as long as they don’t knock over my beer ><

You're not mean at all

I hate the stupid wave. It annoys the ever-livin’ shit out of me. It just goes to show the limited attention span of most of the people that go to the ballpark, and that they have absolutely no consideration for other people who ARE TRYING TO WATCH THE ACTUAL GAME. If I were ever to go postal, it would be because of all the morons doing the wave during a bases-loaded Berkman at-bat with a 3-2 count. Sonsabitches.

Brings out my Tourette’s.

Pujols K's

0-4 tonight w/ 2Ks. Rusty from sitting out a couple days?

Would be interesting to see the last game against the cards where fat albert K’d twice.

by lnewcomer on Jun 6, 2008 9:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

JD on TV

said it’s only the 2nd time this year Pujols has K’d twice in a game

by lnewcomer on Jun 6, 2008 9:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

The morning show on 790

mentioned that they were saving him for the Astros series. Guess that didn’t work out.

K’s the side in order in the ninth. Nice.

Hope this doesn’t trend like the other series we’ve played against the Cards…win the first, lose the next two.
