Astros vs Brewers coverage, Astros vs Brewers preview, Brew Crew Ball
Two veterans face off to determine...nothing, really. Third place in the NL Central, I guess. If Michael Bourn runs absolutely wild he may get to 60 stolen bases....So there's that!

1-2-3 inning for Suppan in the 1st. Broadcasters tell us that Blum was angry because he wasn’t allowed to start this game, given his .517 batting average against Suppan. Cooper told the media that Blum has every right to be angry.
ha!
didn’t know about the F-bomb. but he definitely looked like he was running out of gas. he looked toward Hart, hoping that maybe he would bobble the ball and let him slow down more. Carlos was lucky that Hart’s throw was far off 2d.
Richard Justice’s blog had a quote from Tal Smith today. After seeing T.J. Steele play, Smith said that Steele is the best 5 tool player in the Astros’ system since Cesar Cedeno. I’m not sure what to make of that. Tal Smith has certainly been around a long time, but I don’t know if that was hyperbole.
Kaz Matsui with a bid for a HR...but it's ruled a double.
Hard to tell from replays whether it hit above or below yellow line. Matsui has been hitting some long balls lately.
ol Pete, did you see the Cardinals’ game vs. the Cubs? Ryan hit what at best was a double, and should have been caught. But the Cubs outfielder, Scales, was awkward in reaching for the ball, and it bounced off his glove and over the bullpen wall for a HR.
yeah
I felt sorry for the guy. And then later he slid around trying to make a play.
Social obligations are calling me. Thankfully it includes dinner.
wow SBN chopped my post
I felt sorry for the guy. He had an awkward slide later in the game in the outfield later as well.
Social obligations call – thankfully it includes dinner.
Question about Cialis
If you buy the stuff, do they give you a free bathtub?

In the Cialis commercials
the couple ends up in adjoining bathtubs

I spent some time watching the UT-Texas Tech game. And I come back to the baseball game and it is the 6th inning and still 1-1 tie.
I live in Austin about 5 minutes from the UT stadium. If the Horns win, I fully expect craziness around here. In any event, win or lose, I’ll stay off the streets to avoid the crush of cars. I had to stand in line at my nearby ATM machine at 5 pm for about 10 minutes. College kids in orange in front of me, all on their cell phones, and as best I can tell they were busy coordinating their keg deliveries.
Longhorns lead after one quarter 7-3

Chris Johnson with his 2d hit of his career. Not a thing of beauty, but he beat it into ground toward 3d base and the ball hopped over the 3d baseman. If I recall, Johnson’s first hit was a blooper.
First hit was a blooper to right
Johnson has been unimpressive at the plate.
If this is the best he’s got, his future looks bleak. I keep hoping he’ll break out and become a good hitter

Fielder hits it threw the box for a hit.
But runner holds at 3d, and Cooper’s RBI record is not broken yet.
I'd be happy with a strikeout or two

Moehler pitched effectively
but because he gave up a bloop single to start the seventh and was fololwed by ineffective relievers he will get stuck with the loss (if the Astros lose)

That's right - I forgot Pence's homerun!
Moehler gets a no-decision
I feel better. Moehler pitched too well to be saddled with the loss.

Tejada makes almost great play
running behind second to the second base side of the base. Only reason it was not a great play was the runner beat the throw to first.

Maybe I praised Valeverde too quickly
(I’ve ony seen two hits and the batters were lucky on both)

Valverde in 2010
TCB commenters disagree amongst themselves; but I think Astros must try their best to sign Valverde again

That was an odd maneuver by Cooper to bring Valverde into the game in the 8th. Better to wait until the 9th for his work. As it stands, Valverde threw too many pitches in the 8th—stressful pitches as JD pointed out—and will either be exhausted for the next game if he pitches the 9th, or else will have to come out of the game.
Unless Astros score 5 in the ninth
no Astro pitcher will be needed in the ninth

ASTROS LOSE 7-2
Lose antother road series. Astros have not won a road series since before the Fourth of July.
I’m afraid to look to see if the Reds are closing in.
