I'd take Milo and Worrell calling every single one of my teams' games over these idiots from WGN. Ugh.
I didn't think we had much of a chance today. I had hoped that Munro might have brought his "A" game but...nope. Watch Redding go several innings without giving up a run now....lol. Another day where it sucks to be us! Woopity dooo! Hell, we can barely even get a hit of Prior. Do you think we can come back? I'm at work...thank God...or I would have rolled my projection TV down the hill near my home. We always seem to come back to the same topics...like the Astros hitters make a lot of pitchers look like Cy Young award winners. I can't stand watching the Cubs beat us. They have kicked our butts this season.
So, is there any way we can clone Carlos Beltran? I wouldn't mind him playing all 3 OF posiitons and taking as many spots in the lineup as he'd like. This guy is amazing. I've never seen a guy leg out infield hits and then launch opposite field homeruns depending on whatever he feels like on the Astros. Grimsley wasn't kidding about the 6-tool player thing. Redding looks good coming out of the pen. I think we may slowly see him work his way up to the 8th inning man. Unfortunately only people named Carlos on this team have the ability to hit. Quite a travesty.
Sorry to quote myself, but one idiot was talking about Fernando Valenzuela making a comeback in a Mexican league this winter. Paraphrasing... "He has a good shot to succeed since he's only 33 years old."
Our lineup, excluding Beltran, has zero opportunity hitters. I am a big Astros fan and I'm tired of watching these guys fold every year. We need to not mess around next season and offer Beltran a huge deal, and if he signs, build a team around him.
The astros should do whatever it takes to resign beltran, even if that means letting go of miller, kent, and biggio. Drayton's going to get alot of money in revenue from attendence and merchendise after this year.
Beltran has three home runs in three days and all three were solo shots because nobody is getting on in front of him.
No kidding. He has retired nine straight. He may have never done that starting. Maybe he can be like Dotel who was also supposed to be a starter and had his moments at times.
BELTRAN DOES IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YESSS!!!!!!!!!!! MVP!!!!!!! BELTRAN!!!!!!!!! FIRST PITCH HOME RUN!!! YES!!!!!! oh, and go **** yourself chip carey, you smug and smarmy b****!
