Uh no. It was right up the middle; if he hit any harder it could have made it through and in comes a run. But like I said, still doesn't negate the fact that it was a double play.
why does it seem like lance is an amazing right handed hitter as well? well JYD, good game buddy. lol. looks like it's just me and you here.
Ha yeah, I guess so. They better win tomorrow, I don't wanna suffer through another Pettite blowout at MMP.
Great to get the Rocket a win tonight. And even better, the Cardinals and Reds both lost tonight. The Stros are 4 games out of the Central lead, 3 games out of the wild card!!!
Taking it slow: Chris Burke probably would have been cleared to play on Monday had he started at second base, but with Craig Biggio back at the position he vacated for a few games while serving as the designated hitter on the recent road trip, Burke was not in the lineup. Burke is dealing with a sprained left foot after colliding with Willy Taveras on Friday, and as a result, the foot is swollen and somewhat discolored. Running long distances at full speed, as he would have to do in center field, is not a possibility for now. "It's hard for me to say it, but I can't do that right now," Burke said. "Last night, I was basically hobbling around, but at second base, you can get away with it. You have shorter bursts." http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060703&content_id=1537397&vkey=news_hou&fext=.jsp&c_id=hou
That's about the only way we're going to drive in runs from the bottom of our order: wild pitches and errors!
If Ausmus doesn't get a hit for another month or so it might be time to sit him down a bit. Wouldn't you agree, Major? Nick?
HR first batter up against Lidge. I would like to know what Lidge's ERA is in games that are not save situations.
