2 straight K's. 2outs. 2 men in scoring position. Baggy up to bat. Bags is 0-4 tonight. Come on Bags! .288 vs Smoltz. Come on Bags!!!
Lidge is the closer again tonight... he'll face the bottom of the order in Perez, DeRosa, and Garcia.
Oh definitely... I know that. In fact, I said the same thing when Roy was going out for the 8th... I was thinking, "If he gets the side in order, he can avoid facing Drew in the ninth, etc..." You never know in this game... your luck can change just that fast. I'm glad Ausmus is out there... I have a feeling that he would have calmed Roy down a little bit better than Chamo did.
Oswalt may have some hot and spicy post-game comments eh? We will see. CLOSE THEM OUT, STROS! I only picked this game up in the 4th inning or so but I am impressed with the entertainment value to now. I wonder if J. Williams is going to be suspended after scuffling to get at that ref? This is exciting BASEBALL!!! GO STROS!!! GREAT SEASON TO BE AN ASTROS FAN!!! THE BEST!!! Okay...I'm on a high .
Ugh... well, there have to be games like this throughout a season... it just sucks that it has to be agains these AAA Braves. Garcia? who is that guy? They need to walk the next batter, get Smoltz out of the game... and take your chances in extra innings.
Yeah, would have been nice to get that 2nd run home from 3rd, with no outs. Now, its going to bite us in the ass.
1 more strike needed!!! Come on Lidge!!! OH CRAP!!!! FULL COUNT! COme on get him out!!! Don't face Jones! Get him out!!!!
At least this wasn't a playoff game vs. them... but, if you had told me it was, I wouldn't be the least suprised. They seem to get all the controversial calls, and they're breaking hearts in the late innings. Since the Cardinals are no longergood right now, my animosity is reserved solely for the BRAVES!
He had pitched two days in a row... and three of the last four (but, of course, Lidge has as well... maybe he's just "fresher") Regardless... we'll now need Dotel if we plan on winning this game.
