I will eat some mini-sirloins while I watch the start of the game.
And what’s the deal with Carlos Lee?

Bourn walks...
then on a Tejada hit, Upton lets the ball go under his glove…and he just stands there, because he knows Bourn will score.
1-0 astros.

Berkman with a 2 run HR.
As soon as he hit it, the field mic picks up someone saying,“Oh no!” very loudly.
3-0 Astros.

Carlos Lee is out with the continued effects of cramping from dehydration.
Did the Astros remove the Gatorade dispenser, like the Cubs?

well,
you know he gets a lot of work in the outfield, hustling after balls and…
I’m sorry. I can’t finish that.

2 run HR by Drew.
Moehler hasn’t looked very impressive so far in the first inning.
by clack on Jun 14, 2009 3:30 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
uch
after being a decent SP last ear moehler has been dissapointing…maybe hes hurt…go DL him and bring up a good SP from round rock (bazardo?)
by EveryHoustonTeamRox! on Jun 14, 2009 3:32 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
sometimes the simplest explanation is best
yeah, Moehler has never been impressive. He’s a poor pitcher, and that’s all there is to it.
We need to get him some sandpaper.

A Milton Bradley kind of day for Upton in RF...
Kata with a blooper and Upton should have caught it, but he just let it fall.

I'm sure
that Coop and Wade are hoping for that mid season turn around, but I think Moheler is done.

I think the Astros have the highest percentage
of high-socks wearers in the league right now.

Good Christ Snyder runs like a catcher.
Like Carlos Lee weighted down after lunch.

Moehler gives up a long line drive to the corner off Buckner's bat.
But Snyder is throwin out at the place on a relay throw by Kata.

Pence homers
finally breaks his hitless streak. Good way to do it, too

It is nice to see Berkman and Pence homer on the same day. That would be a nice trend.

ooh
great DP. Bouncer to Moehler, Kata to Berkman.

Chances Bazardo and Norris get called up by August?
I’d say 50%

So, Manny Acta got fired.
If I were Wade/Drayton I’d kill myself fire Coop and hire Acta.

He is, by all accounts, a very smart manager who is getting fired because his team sucks, rather than because of anything he did wrong.
He understands baseball stats, he knows the value of patience, and he has a good relationship with his players. Coop has none of these things.

Love the Mig!!!
How are we judging that trade about now? See that Scott is doing well, how are those Albers doing?
"now you chunkin' in there.."

I'd say it's a wash
I don’t the Astros would do it over again, but they’d probably still trade Scott and Co. Just for something different.

by Only_A_Lad on Jun 14, 2009 4:38 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
At the time I thought they gave up too much, but when Patton turned injured worst than I thought, it was probably a good trade, especially if we can parley Tejeda into some minor league talent at the trade deadline

and the Astros take advantage. Lance and Hunter double-steal

2 clutch hits on back to back games….hmmm maybe the Astro’s brass knows what they are doing keeping him around….maybe

very nice double play to end the inning.
Still, a pretty good inning for the Astros.

Ortiz will PH again.
He is becoming a professional pinch hitter. He will try to sac bunt.

runner goes to 2d on a wild pitch anyway.
good thing…Ortiz has gone to 2-2 without getting it done.

Did Moehler have a Quality Start
I know that stat is pretty bogus, but I can’t remember the criteria

Wow...Bourn is singlehandedly responsible for a run....
like one of the greats, such as Jackie Robinson.
Bourn steals 2d, then steals 3d, and with a grounder to 3d, Bourn runs home just as 3d baseman threw to 1st base. Bourn sneakily trailed 3d baseman Reynolds as he fielded the ball.

I have to repeat: that was just an awesome display by Bourn!

Bourn has really come into his own this season
A few more cost-controlled seasons like this would be absolutely wonderful.
As of last night, he led the league with 20 stolen bases (David Wright in second with 17). That display right there should move him up and tie him for 3rd in all of baseball (tied with Chone Figgins and BJ Upton).

Mr. Chad to pitch against his old team.
Qualls has been having a great season, and is being recognized as one of the best relievers in baseball. However, he has also suffered some arm soreness lately.

Valverde strikes out the side.
That’s a way to show you are back, Jose.
ASTROS WIN.

and that's 5 series in a row?!
Does that seem like it should be possible? Man, we better enjoy this feasting on weak teams while it lasts.

Well
I wouldn’t say they are all scrubs…Rockies have won 11 in a row since leaving Houston, the Cubs, so this maybe for real????
