Updates on the Astros Game?

1-0 ATL top of the 5th

 

Game over? Glavine looks tough. I hope I just jinxed the ATL.

 

Lugo boots another one that gives up the early run.

My gawd this team is chuck full of chokers.

PS....Glavine is getting that outside strike and Miliki isn't typical.

 

The second error wasn't a typical error. Had he not made the great stop, the run would've scored anyway.

The first error was just as much Bagwell's fault.

 

God darn it, that is just our luck.

Excuse me, but Truby is pinch hitting?

 

Dierker should be fired right now, taken out and castrated, then left for seizure.

 

TRUBY OVER VISCAINO, or MERCED !!!


DIERKER YOU ARE A FRICKEN IDIOT !!!!!

PS....on the 3-0 count.....another BALL was called a strike...I hate umpires.

 

If we lose, be sure and thank the men in pinstripes. Ausmus' homer was gone, it hit the yellow line.

Also, that 3-0 pitch Truby took was CLEARLY ball 4. Not even debatable.

 

Understatement of the year. It's downright disgusting.

 

The ball didn't hit the line, but it was close enough for Dierker to argue, but he must be getting his resume ready.

 

Nice job, Dierker. Put in Truby who's been in the minors all year long. Biggio sucks. Our team sucks. We're overrated. Why the hell wasn't Vizcaino pinch hitting. He's a much better contact hitter than Truby, not to mention he had a game winning hit for NY in the World Series last year. This was just plain stupid. I HATE YOU LARRY DIERKER. You are the worst manager ever.

 

Merced is a left hander, and Visciano is being saved for a late inning defensive replacement.

That being said....why not Eusebio? He is a really patient, right field hitter, perfect against Glavine.

 

You don't save people for the late innings in the playoffs. I don't think that we'll have another chance to score off Glavine. You've got to bring out all the weapons. Last night we didn't and it cost us.

 

If Jones hits a HR here, the Astros should protest the game...that was a strike.

 

Then why not Eusebio over Truby?


Dotel 1,2,3 inning...if only this was yesterday

 

You don't save people in situations like this. If anything, you go ahead and bring him in now. When you have a chance to score, which the Astros rarely do, you don't pinch hit a freaking minor league player.

 

Vizcanio is certainly your best right hand hitter off the bench in that situation. You go with you're best and most experienced hitter in that situation. Period.

 

I guess managers do make a difference.

 

Sometimes I think that Dierker is trying to lose on purpose. That old fart has no clue, I swear. If I ever see him driving down Texas Ave. I'm going to run him over with my Ranger.
