I'll be positive and realistic. WWW. Lidge will get us a couple of saves. We will end this series 1 game back in the WC and 3 back in the division.
June 26, 1988: Craig Biggio makes his MLB debut against the Giants, goes 0-2 & scores a run with a walk & a steal. Stros score 6 runs on 3 singles, 6 walks & 2 errors. Current broadcaster Jimmy D & future franchise player Larry Anderson combine for the shutout. This is a portentious omen. I have happy thoughts about tonight's game. ASTROS 2ND: Bass walked; Bass stole second [Bass to third (on wild pitch by LaCoss)]; Reynolds grounded out (shortstop to first); On a bunt Ramirez singled to pitcher [Bass scored]; Biggio flied to center; Debut game for Craig Biggio; Deshaies walked [Ramirez to second]; Young singled to center [Ramirez scored, Deshaies to third]; Young stole second; Hatcher walked; BOCKUS REPLACED LACOSS (PITCHING); Doran singled to center [Deshaies scored, Young scored, Hatcher to third]; Hatcher was caught stealing home (catcher to second to catcher); 4 R, 3 H, 0 E, 1 LOB. Giants 0, Astros 5. ASTROS 4TH: Ramirez flied to left; Biggio walked; Biggio stole second; Deshaies reached on a fielder's choice [Biggio safe at second (error by Uribe; assist by Bockus)]; Young walked [Biggio to third, Deshaies to second]; Hatcher was hit by a pitch [Biggio scored (unearned), Deshaies to third, Young to second]; GARRELTS REPLACED MITCHELL (PITCHING); SPEIER REPLACED BOCKUS (PLAYING 3B); Doran struck out; Davis popped to third; 1 R, 0 H, 1 E, 3 LOB. Giants 0, Astros 6. ASTROS 6TH: Biggio struck out; Deshaies struck out; Young grounded out (shortstop to first); 0 R, 0 H, 0 E, 0 LOB. Giants 0, Astros 6.
WWW I think getting a win in Chicago was good for the team's pysche... We start a tear before the break...
Good lord I had just graduated high school. Also, Biggio has been playing baseball for the Astros longer then the Simpsons have been on the air. Then again when talking age there is that ancient Clemens character who keeps escaping from the retirement home in Katy, TX.
hmm these tigers are kind of good i see... all era's of 3.5 or under... time to knock them up a bit LWW. although this depends on whether the andy pettite we saw last year shows up or the andy pettite that's been pitching awful for more than just a FEW starts this year shows up.
All I know is I met him when I was 14 which is 16 or 17 years ago. Biggio is a staple in the Astros. He's a career Astro who loves us fans as much as we love him. Biggio and Bagwell should never receive any disrespect from anyone who calls themselves an Astros fan. I hear it all the time and it makes no sense to me.
Unreal. I know it's one inning, but wow, this team has an incredible ability to take very few runs away from situations where they should easily rack them up. The offense as a whole isn't the problem it was last year, it's just incredible the luck we have in clutch situations. It doesn't even have to be a clutch hit... just anything but the double play that we just cannot avoid.
