With Lee out of the lineup, Cooper put the players names in a hat and just shook it up to see what he would get... well what he got is a lineup that he's never fielded before. Still not real sure about why Cooper keeps moving Pence around in the 5-6 hole... When Wigginton bats down low, Pence bat's 5th... but when Loretta(not near the slugger that Wigginton is) plays, Pence bat's 6th with Loretta batting 5th... Just seems odd to me.
One thing that is for sure though... An Astros lineup without Carlos Lee is not nearly as scary as a lineup with him.
Wigginton in left field... It will be interesting to see how well he does.
A win tonight puts the Astros back at .500!!!!

Backe pitching and no Carlos Lee
This is looking like a loss to me before the game even starts. Hope I’m wrong.

think it's slightly above average
but I’m going off top of my head. 30% and above is pretty good. close to 50% is outstanding. 6/16 puts him @ 35.7%

the first Wiggy adventure in LF
leads to a bobble and a run score. prob scores anyway, but can’t tell
by lnewcomer on Aug 11, 2008 7:45 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
His bobble might have led to the out at second though.
Since the throw was late, it went to the cut off man instead of home. :p

Wigginton Error(Probably)
Ball hit on the ground to left, Wigginton bobbles and fires towards home allowing the runner to score…. The throw is cut off and thrown to 2nd to get the runner for out 3…

first hit is a crappy little looper that the shortstop almost caught.
now Sanchez muffs a little dribbler and it goes for a hit too. maybe Sanchez was distracted by the lost no hitter.

Carlos Lee.. Errr, Ty Wigginton is the offensive player of the game
I think the POTG is split between Backe and Ty, don’t forget the game that Backe pitched
Go 'Stros!

Backe is one heck of an up and down player...
Just when you are about to give up on him, he churns out a well pitched game. It was only a week or so ago that Backe gave up 11 runs in a game…the first Astro to do so since Jennings. In this game, he held his own, even when a no hitter was being pitched against him.

Tell me about it
It’s going to be a tougher schedule this year, but we have a team that is starting to gel… a really good mix of veteran and rookie talent

I haven't followed all of Papa Grande's moves at the end of games...
but that seemed like a new “whirling dervish” move.

TY Wigginton
mentions the hardest part of playing LF is having to jog out there every inning.. it’s a long way out there
