Damnit willy. YOu ever hear of sliding?! The inning had a promising start, but then Willy is picked off because he doesn't slide. And the others couldn't do jack. Let's go Stros! The time is now!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, Jason Hirsh is a homerun machine. Game Over Almost another one left the yard I just realized we played 36 innings against the Cubs and we scored in 2 of them. 34 of 36 scoreless innings.
Luke Scott again. He was due for 1 bad game yesterday. Nice sac fly by Huff, coulda used that when the bases were loaded in the 10th on tuesday. Tie game!!!
I really like the way Munson is catching Hirsh vs. the way Ausmus caught him. I was at the game saturday, and Hirsh's changeup and slider were both good except for the slider he hung to Barfield. The off speed stuff was good, but Ausmus was just calling fastball after fastball after fastball. It was good but he wasn't changing speeds effectively and keeping the hitters off balance. Tonight as evident by the 3rd inning, he threw more breaking balls than fastballs and was very effective.
Aubrey Huff with a bomb. If Luke Scott hustles out of the box, its a 2 run homer instead of a solo. Dammit.
I am just glad we are ahead at this point. Edited: Crap, I freakin jinxed it. When will I ever learn to shut my mouth? Geeze.
it's like this whole season has been one long string of us shooting ourselves in the foot to get the absolute worst outcome out of any situation. if hirsch doesn't throw that last wild pitch, that single would've probably been too hard to score the run. if we're not getting picked off or running into outs, we have more runs. and that's how all season seems to have gone. and of course, when we do screw up on D or pitching, we always seem to do it with 2 outs when we're just about to get out of it, and then we get out 3 almost immediately. very frustrating.
It would be nice also if Lance Berkman could start hitting. He hasn't gotten a hit now in his last 19 at-bats (0-13, 6 walks).
Isn't that just insane? This is nuts. I wonder how long they will keep Hirsch in. OH YEAH. LAMBY RBI SINGLE Go Willy T! Woo hoo!
