[Official] Astros @ Athletics

I dont know about run support, but this is the best defense they can put behind Verlander.

I expect a low scoring game. Especially from the A's dugout.

 

Is it too early to call for a JV no no?

 

Lame. So, so lame.

 

Mr. Brantley is a professional hitter.

 

Hard luck...Yuli smoked that.

 

Bright spot, we made him throw 22 pitches. Too bad though that we couldn’t do some damage with one out and guys on 1st and 2nd.

 

Those damn drums are already giving me a headache.

 

What a catch!

 

Straw with the Superman Cape!

 

Helluva catch. These young cats are delivering.

 

Straw! All the gloves in the OF for Verlander.

 

Me too. As much as I enjoyed taking my cowbell to Aeros games, we didn't ring them every. single. second. This drumming and cowbell is an awful ballpark idiosyncrasy. If I lived in the area and was an avid A's fan, I still don't think I could go to games if I had to deal with that crap.

 

The vuvuzuelas last night were much more annoying than the drums. Haven't heard them tonight.

 

My bad!

 

Verlander gives up his typical solo shot.

 

Cmon Jake let the youngun know who’s in charge out there.

 

Our announcer just alluded to it. We need to be a bit more patient at the plate here.

 

This puss throwing chump is mowing the Astros down right now.

 

Whew. That looked long gone but Straw caught it on the warning track then made a good throw to 3B.

 

Damn what a throw by Straw from the warning track to 3rd base...
