    sunday was such a huge disappointment after seeing that the hangover loses nothing (and actually adds something) upon a second viewing. turn off my phone with us winning 3-0 and usa leading 2-0. ugh.

    I would hope you wouldn't ever seen hangover for a second time again. A third, maybe.

    'stros claim German Duran on waivers from the Rangers. I'm not sure what moves they make to clear up space.

    I believe he's been injured this year so they probably have time before making an active roster move.

    even with a 5 run lead, I'm still skeptical

    Have we scored that many runs in an inning this season? I can't recall if we did.

    What? Moehler is striking out guys?

    All I know is that Headley got charged with the E that cleared the bases for us. Can anyone elaborate on this?

    On a bases loaded, 2 out grounder, Moehler hit a chooper to third and Headley was about to tag the runner coming into third and then sort of double clutched a throw to first that bounced and got past Gonzales. Matsui rounded third to try and score and they had him out by 10 feet, but the throw got past the catcher.

    Moehler hit a grounder that Headley took mid-hop. He then either didn't know the outs or is just a bad 3B, looked home and back to 3rd before making a bad throw home. Gonazlez couldn't pick it and he then threw it away trying to get Matsui at home. It was a strange play.

    insanity. i don't understand how umps who are fooled by catchers lining up on the outside or inside of the plate then reaching for a ball that is down the pipe of the actual k-zone are allowed to keep their jobs.

    Pudge would be a much better hitter if he just swung at strikes and strikes only. He's a catcher, he should have a pretty good eye.

    That was one of the worst swings I've seen Bourn take all season.

    Pudge had a .688 OPS before his 0-for-4 tonight.

    Q plays good D and seems to have good chemistry with some of the pitchers but I wouldn't mind seeing Towles get another crack once Q's numbers inevitably bottom out.

    Nice win, and good to see to Carlos actually hustle. Lets not let the score fool us into thinking the offense broke out today though. They scored three runs when the Padres decided to play hot potato with the ball in that one inning.

    I still do not understand why Maysonnet is not up and playing 3rd. Blum just kills me.

    We scored 7 in the June 5th game against the Pirates.

    I remember because I was there. :D

    Carlos Lee hit a grand slam into the boxes.
