You know it's bad when AM 740 states the player of the game as Orlando Palmeiro because he got on base 3 of his 5 times up to bat(2 walks)... Pathetic. Once again the Astros had no offense for Roy O who went 6.1 innings and gave up 3 runs. This game was one of those games when I was glad I had to work all day... unfortunately I got off work in time to catch the last 4 innings on the radio and a little on TV. I was greeted with another terrible outing by the bullpen who went 1.2 innings and gave up 4 runs. Joy.
Berkman and Biggio both sat out today. Berkman due to a sore hand and Biggio so he doesn't get 3000 hits before next Thursday. Well, officially Biggio sat because it was a day game after a night game... but we all know the real reason.
Tomorrow we get to try and save a little face and send our 2nd best starting pitcher against the Rangers 2nd best starting pitcher. That really isn't saying much though. Our starting pitcher is good... theirs isn't. Robinson Tejada(the Rangers starting pitcher tomorrow) has a wonderful 6.29 ERA. Game time tomorrow, 7:35 PM.
