Please keep this to talk about the series. As usual no Play-by-Play, or general Astros talk. If you need play by play see one of the many other sites that have game casts. 9-9 Ted Lilly, LHP vs. Bud Norris, RHP 7:05 on FSH 9-10 Hiroki Kuroda, RHP vs. J.A. Happ, LHP 7:05 on FSH 9-11 John Ely, RHP vs. Wandy Rodriguez, LHP 6:05 on My20 9-12 Vicente Padilla, RHP vs. Nelson Figueroa, RHP 1:05 on FSH
Astros have been a HOT team...like they typically are this time of the year. I expect another series win.
Lilly has owned us and Padilla isn't to bad either. The realistic me thinks were gonna split the series, the somewhat optimistic choice is we take 3/4
LWWW Lilly destroys us and Norris has been shaky his last few outings -- not a good recipe for a win. Kuroda and Happ have been good lately, but the Astros have had a little something extra. They called Ely back up? Whatever, Wandy's been dominant. Padilla/Figueroa's the toughest to call. Again, since the Astros have been streaking, I'll give them a bump.
I'll agree with this. I think Bud will pitch well enough tonight, but lose. I would probably expect a split.
CJ with another error (14 now) leads to a man on base for Ethier's jack. He's actually approaching the league lead for 3B despite not even having played enough games to be qualified for the stat.
I'm actually a Dodgers fan, but I love Chris Johnson and it was great to see him get that home run (considering the Dodgers are all but out of it anyway).
A thing of beauty. I love how he didn't even need to look up after making contact. It was like he was exaggerating the importance of keeping your eye on the ball.
