JD says the Astros are dead last in walks for the NL.
Jesus. No wonder we suck.
And of course, as I’m typing this, Lance and Spaz walk.

And then (of all people) Q walks.
I should try taking jabs at our hitters more often.
by Only_A_Lad on Sep 19, 2008 6:46 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Berkman walks, Blum walks, Spaz up to bat.
Still no hits.

Hunter singles, Berkman scores, runners advance on error
1-0 Stros.

Adam Laroche homers.
2-1 Astros after 4.

Oh, also
good on the people of Pittsburgh for donating money to relief efforts instead of, you know, booing our team when they take the field. Their football team might destroy ours every year, but they’re classy people.

Astros up 2-1
is this the 1st lead they’ve had in 5 after the 1st inning in 5 games?
Go 'Stros!

We should hand them doughnuts
Go 'Stros!

I imagine it goes something like this:
Astros: Here, take some of our precious outs. We only have 27, but you can have some.
Pirates: No, no, we couldn’t possibly take any of your outs. It would just be rude.
Astros: Seriously, we insist. Please, take some. (Bourn runs for the hell of it)
Pirates: Well, if you insist… (Bourn is caught stealing)

Astros need 1 win for a .500 season
The Pirates need to go 6-3 to have 70 wins on the season.
Go 'Stros!

how many times will I say that Pence was thrown out?
He is atrocious on the bases. Astros keep giving away outs too.

Dammit!
2-0 count with a struggling pitcher, and Coop orders Hunter to steal. Cut that shit out, Coop!
Astros: Are you sure you don’t need some more of our outs?
Pirates: Well, one or two more would really help us out.
Astros: No problem!

Forgot to mention
Astros : we’re trying to get in the bottom 15 teams in baseball!
Go 'Stros!

Oh yeah,
draft protection and all that.
Start telling Q to steal.

Nice play by Wigginton
not fantastic by any means, but pretty good for a 3rd basemen turned left fielder
Go 'Stros!

make that play?

I'm giving Kaz
the green light! go-go-go!

Maybe
but El Burro would have won us an extra game or two by now. We wouldn’t be in this situation if we didn’t have to switch him out for Geoff Blum and Erstad’s bats.

Marlins taking their hot bats to the heads of the Phillies players...
leading 13-6 in the 7th

I wish it was the Marlins beating the Mets.. :)
Well, I guess… we need to pass the Marlins as well now..
Go 'Stros!

3 walks for Berkman
I guess if you can’t hit, may as well walk.

hahahaha
Astros score on a three stooges routine
To be fair, it would have been a great play by the Pirates.
by Only_A_Lad on Sep 19, 2008 8:33 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
That was quite weird
you don’t see the ball hit the bag and go straight up like that too often
Go 'Stros!

Astros up 5-1
We’ve not equaled our total for the last 5 games prior to tonight…
Go 'Stros!

SPAZ!!!!
Pence doubles. 5-1 Astros.
Finally the Good Guys get some breaks.

Why are the hover-round commercials so freaking loud?
Old people already have their TV’s turned up, they don’t need the extra help.

Cooper brings in Valverde for the last out of the 8th...
with one on base. I hate to say it…but how many times has Cooper put Valverde in this situation with bad results?

Woohoo
Astros clinch a non-losing season!
Way better than I expected in June.
Just don’t let it go to your head, Wade.

I'm shocked!!!
Way to go guys! Gave away outs and still won by 4. Let’s sweep the pirates again.
by entropic soul on Sep 19, 2008 9:39 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Shocked that we actually won another game?
I think the Astros will be okay here on out… (I mean, I think they’ll win more than lose)… I think the 5 game skid was too much to overcome though(I know, going out on a limb there hehehe)
Go 'Stros!
