Odd, shows that it should be on FSN

I’m at work, so unfortunately can’t see it regardless.

Don't live in Houston

But they usually show the Astros or the Rangers.. but they are showing neither.

1-2-3 for Moehler in the first.

Arroyo should be easy to take down. Let’s find out.

What happened to Carlos Lee?

Gameday puts Pence on third and makes Carlos Lee disappear (no out or run recorded)

nevermind

There it goes.
Carlos Lee scores on a triple.

there may be something to the idea

that he’s getting better pitches by being in front of berkman

by lnewcomer on Jul 29, 2008 8:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe -it seems that way

but it didn’t help anybody else who batted there.

miggy homers deep to left

‘bout time. if he hadn’t homered tonight it would have been the longest of his career (in games)

now Puma’s turn to get of the schneid

miggy’s last was june 19 in baltimore. the chron guy had a post on it earlier.

Ed Wade reassured Tejada he would not be traded

A lot of anxiety and confusion because the part incomeptent , part irresponsible Jose Ortiz once again wrote a bunch of nonsense. Chronicnle needs ot get him off the Sports pages.

Anyone keeping track of

how many out and assists Matsui has tonight? I think he’s bee involed in four of the past six outs.

2 outs, so far, i think.

John Lackey just lost his no hitter

Pedroia w/ an apparently clean base hit (listened on radio).

seems like pedroia is the last guy you’d want to have up when you’re trying to close a no-no

Rockets trade for

Ron Artest

ought to be an interesting NBA season

bobby jackson, first round pick next year and PTBNL

speculation it might be Rockets draft pick Donte Green from this year. stopped following basketball seriously a while back so have no idea if it is good trade or not.

by lnewcomer on Jul 29, 2008 8:55 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

If that is true

It is a phenomal trade for the Rockets. I know Artest is kooky, but the dude can ball. Put him in the mix with guys like Battier, T-Mac, and Yao and you have the makings of a damn good team…

Much like the Texans… Limiting injuries will be crucial to their success.

Richard Justice

thinks Artest is a scumbag based on his blog

Astros fan for life

by Joe in Birmingham on Jul 29, 2008 9:08 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He is

he falls in the Dennis Rodman category… but he’s very good as a defensive player

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jul 29, 2008 9:09 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh he is...

But so was Rasheed Walace and all he did was go to Detroit and help put them over the top.

over/under

on the number of times Richard Justice changes his opinion on Artest this season?

I’ll set the line at 6.5

by lnewcomer on Jul 29, 2008 9:16 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Holy Cow

Big league pop up in short center.

Tejada and Erstad converge. Erstad peels off to let Tejada get it .

Then Tejada loses sight of the ball.

Erstad had to make desperate run forward to make last seond catch (which he did)

They share a laugh

by Joe in Birmingham on Jul 29, 2008 8:42 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I keep reading people saying that

Tejada needs to move to 3rd base because he’s limited range wise…

He’s proven that theory wrong over the past couple games

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Jul 29, 2008 9:02 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He showed out well in the All-Star game too

I think the media choked on their keyboards a little bit after his performace….

Got Texans? Visit BattleRedBlog.com for the latest on your Houston Texans!

by SOLIS on Jul 29, 2008 9:04 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

his value is

higher as a SS as well… kinda like A-Rod(but not the same extent).

As a short stop, Tejada is a super star… but as a 3rd basemen, he’s just very good

Go 'Stros!

Good point

Who was that kid who played here before… Aaron… Arnold… Adam maybe.

Moehler: 77 pitches through 7

Keeps getting less with every inning.

by entropic soul on Jul 29, 2008 8:56 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Will Moehler pitch a complete game?

He finished the top of the 8th leading 6-1.

He looks strong.

50-1

What would have been the odds if someone told you that Brian Moheler was going to be in posistion to throw a complete game…?

Got Texans? Visit BattleRedBlog.com for the latest on your Houston Texans!

His last complete game was in 2000

Of course he was a reliever the past couple of years.

What the heck is going on around here?

Your guys and Moehler doing great against a pretty potent Cincy team.

Things grim at Miller Park. Can I blame it all on Blum? (just kidding)

Moehler taken out

with two outs in the ninth.

OOOOOOHHHHHHH that hurts
