    He was very good in at least one of those two starts. This is just sad.

    Wow I feel sorry for him. Getting pulled the 1st inning is really rough.

    I don't think anybody saw Sampson laying an egg like this.

    Adding to the depression: the Rockies are exhausted and their two best hitters are not in the lineup.

    That's the only bright side, still a chance to turn this into a slobberknocker. 6-2 in the 1st against a completely drained staff is a winnable game. Stros pen has to come up huge.

    Encouraging sign from Pence to take that the opposite way.

    How often to you see both teams bat around in the first inning.

    Can we pinch hit for the 2nd pitcher in the bottom of the first? :D

    Morales' ERA is now worse than Sampson's.

    Morales with 44 pitches in the 1st. Awesome.

    No matter how bad he sucks, the Rockies can't really pull their starter early tonight. He's just going to have to go out there and take it. So we've got a chance to put some real big numbers on the board, and we need to take advantage of it.

    The Denver paper speculated that if Morales can't go 5, they'll need to throw a position player to help save the bullpen. Get that pitch count up up up, can't let him have any quick AB's the next couple of innings.

    Which Astro will hit the first HR tonight?

    A. Berkman
    B. Lee
    C. Tejada
    D. Pence
    E. Other
    F. No Astro HRs

    I'm going with Pence.
