    And as soon as I say something .... BOOM goes Berkman! Back to back .... Wood is probably going to be yanked soon.

    Somehow, I don't think any lead is safe. It really doesn't matter, anyway. There will not be some miracle come back and, if there is, then I'm shutting this place down(don't ask me how...somehow). LOL.

    What was the reaction after OSwalt was hit? Any fights? ejections?

    Yea...he had just come in to relieve Wood I guess so he had an excuse. I was hoping it was payback but...oh well.

    I am watching the game at work, Oswalt and Barrett were jawing with each other first time Oswalt came up. He hit him on purpose no doubt, up just gave a warning. The part I loved was that when Roy was hit, he looked at the Barrett and just smiled.

    He had actually relieved Wood in the previous inning.

    That is bull. If that wasn't intentional, then what is. The whole world saw that coming. A blind ump would have seen it. This is absurd.

    Barrett is starting to make my stomach turn now. Maybe Oswalt was wrong for hitting him last weekend but damn dude get over it. That was a week ago. As soon as Oswalt stepped to the plate today he ran up to him and start barking about what happend last weekend. I guess Oswalt got the last laugh.

    I am so hating their catcher. Damn, what a great game! HUGE offensive surge.

    This was one of the most entertaining games this season. Man, it was fun to watch.

    Beltran has homered in 5 consecutive games, and has 6HRs in 5 games.

    He has hit something like 7HR's in Wrigley Field since joining the Astros.

    We did leave a bunch of guys on base today but we still were clutch at necesary times.

    I have absolutely lost respect for this team. After the game, when he had a chance to defend his ace pitcher, Lance Berkman took the Jeff Bagwell p***y way out and didn't. Ashby asked him what he thought about Barrett confronting Oswalt like that, and instead of taking that chance to call Barrett a scrub and defending his ace pitcher, Berkman's dumb ass simply responds that he'd be pissed too if he thought that he was plunked intentionally. Do these asses even understand what the hell it means to be on a team? If I was Roy Oswalt, I'd be wary of signing a long-term contract if I was on the same team as these disrespectful "teammates". No wonder they've never won **** in their career.
