This is truly a battle of right handed power pitchers looking for a bounce back. I think it'll be our guy who comes out on top.
MMP has not been a good place for the young Cueto as he sports a lifetime (ok, only two starts) split of a 10.38 ERA in 8.2 IP. He hasn't had his best starts in Houston, so let's hope he continues that (meaningless, statistically) trend. That way we can get a repeat of the above photo.

Game within the Game
Willy T vs Michael Bourn
Will we read many comparisons between the two as to who is the better player this series (and thus who should be Astros center fielder)?
Astros fan for life

If I have to pick one
I think I’ll go with Bourn – he’s got potential.
It takes more than pitching to win a pennant, but not much!
maybe....
But I haven’t seen as much comparing of Willy T and Bourn this year. I think Astros fans are starting to forget Willy T a little bit.
It's a tough call
I’d rather have a power hitting center fielder with average speed than either one.

well
any discussion about that would inevitably have to ask which was the worse trade, and I’d prefer not to think about either Jennings or Lidge right now.
Give the Astros credit
The not only screwed up the trade for Jennings, they also mismanaged him.

Great game from Hampton yesterday
With him, Roy and Wandy, we could become respectable.
It takes more than pitching to win a pennant, but not much!
yeah, maybe
then I look at the starters and see “Blum” and “Jason Smith” on the list, and I get a little depressed.
Still, stranger things have happened.
and once, as a child, I was anxious to go see the circus
and then I found out it wasn’t entertaining and I came out smelling like elephant shit.
I only want
respectability – the chance to be in any game.

double bounced off LF railing and back into field...

I'm no coach
but Roy looks really jerky to me this year – not smooth at all.

Cueto
may very well be one of the worst hitters I’ve ever seen. Even amongst pitchers, that was ugly.
The Gameday hitter match-up deal has this to say about Pence

Second time through the lineup

he had one of the more awesome moments in Texans history when he knocked Green TFO
only_a_lad,

by Evan Hochschild on Apr 17, 2009 7:51 PM CDT up reply actions
yeah, probably
he was supposedly playing hurt most of last year, he’s only 21, and he didn’t do enough off-season work. I think he’ll be a great DT as he continues to learn his craft.
Pence throws out Willy T at 3d base.
He went around on a ground single by Votto. Matsui probably gets that ball for an out by the way.
Willie Taveras
Knows so many ways to hurt an offense
It takes more than pitching to win a pennant, but not much!
Oswalt goes inside for the zillionth time without a strike call.
Gives up a walk to Phillips who isn’t much of a walk candidate.
Taking away the inside part of the plate....
like this umpire has done, is particularly a problem for Roy O. He depends on pitching inside.
Without the Willy T blunder
That would have been a sac fly for a run
It takes more than pitching to win a pennant, but not much!
you might even say
he’s been a “wizard.”

Willie T
Uses his speed and makes a nice catch

Now that's the Willy T I remember
making he routine catch look tough

Willy T making those twisting catches in CF...
you almost think he is going to drop them….probably because I have seen him do that several times on those type catches.
There's no denying
his defense helps to make up for his offensive shortfall

I'm going to be honest
and this is the first time I’ve really shared this opinion with anyone, but I think it might be true.
I think that no-hitter, the Cubs fan reaction to the Astros’ complaints, and the Cubs’ reaction to the same is what destroyed all karma they had built up over a century of postseason failure. I think the baseball Gods allowed the Cubs to trade that karma for a no-hitter on the condition of getting swept by the Dodgers. They would have easily won that series had the no-hitter never been thrown.

Did any one else see the Cubs-Cards game on WGN this afternoon?
That was a pretty exciting game. I didn’t know which to root for, though. Ludwick hit 2 HRs and the Cards mashed Zambrano. But the Cardinals’ fans must be pulling their hair out over the closer situation. With fangraphs showing minimal chance of the Cardinals losng, Chris Perez gave up a 3 run HR and the Cards lost.
I saw parts of it

I wonder how his outfield defensive play is going....
With Nady out, he actually will get lots of playing time for the Mets. But he admitted that he isn’t “ready” to play in the outfield.
good point....it's been awhile since Nady was Met....
so, yeah, Sheff will be platooning with Church.
uh
nady plays for the Yankees (though that should give Swisher more time, and he should be starting anyways).
It was a pinch-hit homer, too
