Hunter Pence makes Tim Redding look good

on that strikeout to start the game. (Ty Wigginton should have led off I guess)

Bourn .220

Oswalt is the best. He should bat after Wiggy. :p

Paronto hitting

Duh

Yes, he’s done. But anymore news about his injury?

by mokulen on Jul 11, 2008 7:01 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Not yet...

we’ll probably hear it from JD/Brownie first

Didn't I read Brad Ausmus

ROY OSWALT OUT OF THE GAME!!!

holy cow – this ain’t good!

Did he pitch yet? Did I miss that?

Otherwise, even if Oswalt is injured and not coming back, why not use a pinch hitter?

by clack on Jul 11, 2008 7:02 PM CDT   0 recs

guess the shot didn't help

Roy said the only cure for it was to get younger… so if the cortizone didn’t help, I guess he’ll retire now

He said that alright

But I have a lesser version of that. It heals and you must stretch everything from your feet to your legs to your hips befoer an work to prevent it from inflaming. One it’s inflamed, you have to wait it out. It could be hours or weeks. The key is to keep it from being inflamed in the first placed. To late for that now with Roy O.

Left Hip

Same problem that caused him to leave in the first place.

Uh oh

Belliard with a long home run to left..

Paronto should drill him

for walking like a jackass after he hit it to

Nice throw by Pence

Hopefully Tim Redding will suffer on the mound

after that run from homeplate aeround the bases to within a few inches of third.

maybe "torched" was premature....

but Paronto gave up that run on two very well hit doubles to the wall. And some other hitters were getting good swings off him. But he finally gets out of the inning without more damage.

by clack on Jul 11, 2008 7:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Torched was right

he has little movement and is not hitting the corners.

by UT2001 on Jul 11, 2008 7:39 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yep

just because he’s “only” given up 3 runs, doesn’t mean he’s not getting torched… everyone is hitting the ball hard

Go 'Stros!

Gah

sent Roy O, James Shields and Joba today for my fantasy team, hoping to make up a 2-1 win deficit and ERA and WHIP deficits in my head-to-head leagues. Roy’s gone out, Joba’s facing Halladay and Shields is getting torched (sorta).

Bourn

makes another out. My rants about the Lidge and Tejada trades continue to be justified!

MLB.TV Audio

amazing range by Berkman on that play...

Matsui laughs a bit after seeing it.

So much for giving the bullpen some rest

I like the Nationals' TV Announcers

Bob Carpenter and Don Sutton.

(and I still miss Alan Ashby on Astros radio)

With two outs Matsui singled

Went to second on a wild pitch

Berkman struck out

for the second time tonight.

Luckily for the Astros , Tim Redding’s pitch count is getting high. He’s not gotten a decision in weeks. Apparently he keeps the score close then the bullpen blows the lead. To his credit, Tim Redding has come a long way since his Astros days.

One of the Nationals Commentators

joked (I think he was joking ) was that Cecil Cooper’s plan to rest his relievers is not to have to use one to pitch the ninth inning.

that intentional walk to load the bases turned out badly.

I assume, with the bases loaded, Bork would be trying to get a DP with his sinker. But his fastballs were UP, which isn’t going to get it done.

8-0

Belliard’s second home run of the night. The 100th of his career.

Still no outs.
