St. Louis Cardinals at Houson Astros, 7:05PM CDT

Houston just whups STL…sometimes..

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

In character so far.

The Cards are 10 games about .500… geeeeez

a better O on this homestand.

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

1-0 Astros

2-0 Astros.
But Kaz out at second… :(

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?

:p

What a productive reserve outfielder.

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.

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

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

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.

..Prancin ’ like a Tit…

comes through again.. with his 3rd on the night

Sampson has been pitching surprisingly well from BP

aaaccck

7th

Just scoreboard watching tonight. Hold ‘em right where they are, ‘Stros!

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?

Same phys type as Moehler..

And I typed too fast.

WIN!!!!!!

In the Land of the Cardinal

on 2 hits… no biggie, it was only 1.

That woudl be Blum… nice shot to.

Mark “always good for a single” Loretta :)

Moehler, obviously… with Kudos to the Astros offense(Loretta, 4 for 4, Blum 2 for 4 with a home run, Erstad 1 for 4)

K’s the side to end the game..

Nice overall game.. I like it!

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.

...uhhh,,,
