W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Mike Hampton 3-3 12 12 0 0 0 0 72.0 79 42 39 9 28 33 4.88 1.49


W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Wandy Rodriguez 8-7 24 24 0 0 0 0 130.1 132 64 54 14 44 125 3.73 1.35

Wandy has had a pretty good season so far and has shown this season that he deserves to be in the rotation(if he can just stay healthy).  A win today and Wandy will have his first ever winning season in the bigs.  

A win today for the Astros and they will finish with 86 wins and 11 games over .500.  Pretty good season for the most parts and a great improvement over last years 73-89 record.  This season will also finish with the Astros having the most wins in a season since they went to the World Series in 2005.  

So I just got finished watching "The Rookie" and I'm ready for baseball!!!  Game on!

So how do you feel about

my20 broadcasting the Sunday games? I’d much prefer FSN broadcasting them, but my20 wasn’t too bad after a few shortcomings earlier in the season.

Go 'Stros!

It sucks.

Can’t get them here in New Orleans.

by Only_A_Lad on Sep 28, 2008 1:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

we get FSN Houston on Tulane cable.

I like my20 broadcasts

because it’s the only time I can watch games in HD.

I don’t have digital cable or satellite but I have an HD TV … :(

Is that right?

We didn’t when I was there. Sure would have been nice.

How many home runs

does Ausmus hit today? :)

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Sep 28, 2008 1:13 PM CDT   0 recs

Ausmus 2 run home run!

That’s 1!!!

Probably the hardest he’s ever hit a ball :)

Go 'Stros!

BRAD AUSMUS _ HOMERUN IN HIS FINAL ASTROS GAME

Gets a curtain call. What a grand way to go out.

Ausmus out of the game

Nice ovation, Towles in to catch

Wandy is still pitching in the seventh

A stark contrast to Brandon Backe’s stint yesterday.

Oh Bradley,

well you came and you hit like a girl,
but you played great defense,
oh bradley

he didn’t hit like a girl today

Hawkins has been a good pick up for Wade

I’d like to see him gain next season.

I posted a reply

to this that somehow didn’t go through—if it shows up, I apologize for the double post. Was at the game today, front row behind the bullpen, and some guys next to me got into a discussion with Hawkins and he made it sound like he was probably coming back.

by Danyah on Sep 28, 2008 6:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Cool

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Sep 28, 2008 7:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm not sure I've ever seen what happened to Newhan before

Gets in a run down and then when they go to tag him out, the ball gets knocked out of the glove… Not on a swipe tag like that…

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Sep 28, 2008 3:08 PM CDT   0 recs

Great effort by Newhan

Why didn’t Loretta run? Wouldn’t that have been the point of occupying those guys for so long? I was wondering if there was any insight on that from the TV broadcast.

by Danyah on Sep 28, 2008 6:40 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Probably because they kept

watching Loretta and he’s slow… they probably would have thrown him out had he gone home during the run down… now after the tag and the ball went flying.. I think he probably could have made it then.

Game Over : Season Over

Astros win 3-1, capped off by a nice play by Castillo(made it look harder than it was) falling into the Braves dugout

Valverde ties Wagner’s team record of 44 saves in a season

Hi, my name is Rich and I'm an Astroholic.

162 days

I’m lying, that’s just the first # that popped into my head(probably because of 162 games played in a normal baseball season)

Make that...

Can’t wait, can’t wait, cant’ wait.

149 now.

We should have a count down.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

by DyingQuail on Sep 30, 2008 12:32 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm working on it(the countdown that is)

I tried to get one when we were at 151 days but the timer I wanted to use was broken so I am having the programmer fix it.. once it’s fixed, I’ll add it :)

Go 'Stros!

by Stros Bro on Sep 30, 2008 1:47 PM CDT   0 recs

Yeah

I tried playing around with some java script stuff online to generate one and I had the same problem. I was hoping I could just send it along your way and we’d have that awesomeness. I wonder if we were working with the same one? It was from Yahoo!

It’s so awesome to be in place that has programers. Thank you programers for allowing the guys with who are way to opinionated look slick standing on their electronic soap box.

Hooray programmers

I may have been a little rough on them when the new layout first came out… But having discovered all the cool features plus the fact it can make DQ look “slick”!, the whole system works very well indeed.
