wigginton has no range

either left or right. if you hit it within 3 feet of him on either side, he’s ok. otherwise, single.

Would have been nice

If we could have scored one of our three baserunners….

way to go hunter

that’s the way to make ‘em pay

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 1:50 PM CDT   0 recs

WOW!

damn, talk about a bomb.

that was way out. no doubter.

cool

I love how Puma can hit a HR

and just drop his bat quietly w/o trying to act like such a cocky bastard

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 1:58 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yep

he’s so proud of himself

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

NICE HR

He’s been slacking a little bit on the HR and RBIs… well, for an MVP. :p

by entropic soul on Jun 8, 2008 2:00 PM CDT   0 recs

I know.

He’s not even first in any of the main three NL offensive categories.
Coop needs to have a talk with him.

by entropic soul on Jun 8, 2008 2:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

maybe sit him for a day

let him think about what he’s done.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I like how Wandy came back out that inning

got a three run lead and has a nice easy inning.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:05 PM CDT   0 recs

mowing them down

Wandy for Cy Young!

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:14 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Hamilton w/ 69 RBI

he was only about 10 ahead of berkman before we had that disastrous road trip, now he’s 21 ahead. some hitter.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:21 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah.

See, Berkman is slacking. :p

by entropic soul on Jun 8, 2008 2:23 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

1 inning for each team game played....

so wandy is short of that right now.

by clack on Jun 8, 2008 2:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

so assuming he catches up in the next couple starts

and maintains roughly the same ERA, he’ll be in the top 3?

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

obviously depends on what the ERA is...

there are a number of starters in the 2-ish ERA range. Volquez leads with a sub-2 ERA. Lincecum is 2d with 2.15 and Webb is 3d with 2.53.

by clack on Jun 8, 2008 2:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

bad call on Hunter's check swing

which puts him in a hold 0-2 and he chases a slider away to strike out.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:18 PM CDT   0 recs

Funfact

Matsui is hitting .293 away from home this year. :)

by entropic soul on Jun 8, 2008 2:25 PM CDT   0 recs

OK lance

let’s not get too cute. i guess it would have been a better idea if he hadn’t popped it up. and it would have made that shift look pretty dumb

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:30 PM CDT   0 recs

Berkman bunted?

and popped out?

Astros fan for life

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 8, 2008 2:31 PM CDT   0 recs

trying to show off his multi-faceted game

beat you with a bomb. beat you with speed. lance berkman cannot be stopped.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Cooper lavished praise on Berkman when he bunted last week....

saying “that’s a baseball player’s play,” maybe he is trying to become the teacherr’s pet. However, I liked Berkman’s bunt last week better because he led off the 9th, down by 4.

by clack on Jun 8, 2008 2:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

it's ok wandy

don’t let it get to you. that guy was just desperate to get on so he leaned into one.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:36 PM CDT   0 recs

HOLY HELL!

That has to be the worst error I’ve seen in ages

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jun 8, 2008 2:37 PM CDT   0 recs

Now instead of a DP and 1 runner on with 2 outs

we have bases loaded with no outs

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jun 8, 2008 2:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

agreed

i think he actually had it in his hand, before he dropped it.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

nice job wiggy

you’ve really helped out this game. thanks a lot.

crap.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:38 PM CDT   0 recs

Why is the pitching coach out there?

Wandy isn’t the reason bases are loaded… unless he’s saying, this is not your fault

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jun 8, 2008 2:39 PM CDT   0 recs

wonder if it was more of a mental thing

remember wandy used to have a problem w/ letting bad breaks get into his head.

last year and this year he seemed to get a better handle it, but I don’t think it was a bad visit.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Bases loaded no out

um um um

Astros fan for life

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 8, 2008 2:39 PM CDT   0 recs

Now 3-1

That run should be unearned

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jun 8, 2008 2:41 PM CDT   0 recs

I realize that anyone can hit anybody at any time

but at this critical point in the game, the best PH option they have is Izturis? bench is thin w/ ankiel being hurt.

now that i have jinxed us …

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:43 PM CDT   0 recs

"Anyone can hit anybody at any time"

Wandy has hit 2 people thie inning…

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jun 8, 2008 2:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yep

wasn’t exactly the way i envisioned it. baseball is a funny game

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

lol

wow, those are two of the easiest HBP in baseball history

sometimes, you just get unlucky

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Come on Wandy!!!!

You can do it!

Out Two on a Strikeout

One more, Wandy

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 8, 2008 2:47 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

crap

more bad luck.

catches the lip of the plate and jumps up and over brad. geez. wandy shouldn’t buy lotto tickets today.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:50 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

nice pitch to get Miles

c’mon wandy, one more

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:47 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Wild Pitch

with 0-2 count on the batter (and a run scored)

oh no -Cards lead 4-3

Game unraveled quickly

Astros fan for life

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 8, 2008 2:50 PM CDT   0 recs

damn

that hurts. nobody to blame really.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Wandy can lose but cannot win this game

He deserves a better fate.

Astros fan for life

by Joe in Birmingham on Jun 8, 2008 2:51 PM CDT   0 recs

unraveled is the right word

I think Bourn just missed it. there was some confusion about who called it, but it looked like Pence gave way and Bourn had a bead on it and then just whiffed

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:55 PM CDT   0 recs

Bourn back to AAA right now.

Coop. stop the game. Walk out there and tell Bourn he’s going back to AAA where he can relearn how to play baseball.

by entropic soul on Jun 8, 2008 2:56 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

merciful zeus

that was a long, strange, depressing and disgusting inning. glad it’s over.

time to take a shot at the cardinal bullpen

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 2:59 PM CDT   0 recs

brocail wasn't happy

see him throw his glove into the dugout?

if I was MBourn, i would stay as far at the other end of the dugout from Brocail as I could.

by lnewcomer on Jun 8, 2008 3:01 PM CDT   0 recs

Bourn + Wiggy = worthless

Pence was the right-handed Ted Williams in 2007.

by backstop8 on Jun 8, 2008 3:01 PM CDT   0 recs

at least bourn busted his ass

getting down the line.

drag bunt down first and dodged pujols to make it safe.
