W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Johnny Cueto 9-13 30 30 0 0 0 0 171.1 171 96 88 29 65 157 4.62 1.38

Here's my thought: if Roy wins tonight, then it's game on. If Roy loses tonight, it just wasn't meant to be. Last night, we saw Lance snap out of it, and Hunter showed some plate discipline....yea....I dig.

Does it seem to anyone else

that Blum has swung and grounded/flyed out on most of his recent ABs with RISP?

by Only_A_Lad on Sep 25, 2008 7:27 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Matsui walks.

Bases loaded. Up to Bourn now… BLAHHH – 2 outs.

by entropic soul on Sep 25, 2008 7:50 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

hells yeah

Michael Bourn doesn’t suck tonight!

by Only_A_Lad on Sep 25, 2008 7:51 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Brewers got a run in...

I hope the Pirates have not forgotten how to score.
1-0 Brew Crew

by entropic soul on Sep 25, 2008 8:02 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Ok. Single. That's cool.

4-1 Astros.. bases loaded for Matsui

by entropic soul on Sep 25, 2008 8:13 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Matsui in a run.

Bourn has got himself a bases loaded situation for the second time in two innings. Let’s see him clear them again. :)

5-1 Astros after the Matsui walk.

And a fresh pitcher comes in to face Bourn.

by entropic soul on Sep 25, 2008 8:18 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Meanwhile, Corey Hart gets caught stealing second.

Was 1st and 3rd with 1 out. Now, just 3rd with 2 outs and Rickie Weeks batting.
Score still tied 1-1.

roy and bourn

have four rbi in one game. well, this may be the apocalypse

by HighLeveragePerformer on Sep 25, 2008 8:37 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Didn't they have a single, homer combo once?

Or back to back homers or something like that?

by entropic soul on Sep 25, 2008 8:46 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Roy

in position for another win against the Reds. Deja Vu all over again…..

by HighLeveragePerformer on Sep 25, 2008 8:40 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

And in position for more RBIs

as Wiggy singles and Ausmus walks before him.
0 outs.

by entropic soul on Sep 25, 2008 8:48 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Nevermind

Bourn is now. 1 out.

by entropic soul on Sep 25, 2008 8:49 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oops. Matsui

I forget they are flipped around.
Matsui gets it done with a single. 6-1 Astros.
Bourn gets his chance now.

Pirates vs. Brewers

Top 7
still 1-1 Tie
Gagne comes in to pitch.

Mets

are within a run. 1st and 2nd, 2 outs.

by Xan on Sep 25, 2008 8:53 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

It's 6-1

Roy should not be in the game in my opinion…

Go 'Stros!

Somebody get Drayton out of the radio booth. I have no clue what’s going on. Does he ever shut up?

RISP for the Cubs

no outs. come on now Chicago.

speaking of him

has anyone come in like a lion, and come out like a lamb, any more than fuku?

by HighLeveragePerformer on Sep 25, 2008 9:11 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

You think pitchers

just figured him out?

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Sep 25, 2008 9:12 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

oh yea

he just doesnt hit for power. whatsoever. geoff blum is a better power threat. even hideki “godzilla” matsui never hit for power in the bigs. our longer season probably had some effect. also, dont discount the day games at wrigley. can wear a hitter out.

Not rooting for the Cubs

I’m not rooting for the Cubs to win.

I’m rooting for the Mets to lose.

Cooper let Roy go out and "warm up"

before taking him out of the game to give the crowd a chance to give him a good send off and thanks

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Sep 25, 2008 9:19 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Could be his last one of the year.

And it was a good one.
Thanks, Roy!

by entropic soul on Sep 25, 2008 9:22 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

yep

if he gets to pitch again this season, it will be a miracle

Mets

Have one on and nobody out, bottom 9th…

Reds getting on base

Strike out and passed ball (or wild pitch) with bad throw to first gets one on

There is

a pretty good possibility of at least one of those games raining out. If that happens, do we play Monday?

by Xan on Sep 25, 2008 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

assuming

a Brewers collapse of course

by Xan on Sep 25, 2008 9:38 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

What If

What if we hadn’t lost so many damned games to the Pirates.

Despite the manhandling by the Cubs in Wrigley North, we’re still ahead of them for the year. How come we couldn’t do that against the Bucs?

by pel on Sep 25, 2008 9:35 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Yea

I’ve been blaming the Pirates for our current position for a while now ;)

At least they have been fun to watch since the All-Star break

No way

both the Brewers and Mets go without a win for the rest of the season… not to mention the Astros winning out..

The Astros should

insist that they play the final game against the Cubs ;)

He’s had a couple clutch hits and a sac fly IIRC.

by ol Pete on Sep 25, 2008 11:00 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Astros must win five straight (including tonight)

and hope the Mets lose all three against the Marlins
and the Brewers lose all three against the Cubs

Could happen

by Joe in Birmingham on Sep 25, 2008 10:17 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Yep

it’s possible that the Astros lose this game as well… only the Astros losing this game has a better chance

I don’t think this is a save situation.

No

just a “Cover Your Ass” situation for Coop

you're right

That ‘s about the fifth mistake I’ve made watching the games this week. Either I’m not a good multi-tasker or the long season has taken its toll on me.
