I may be a little impatient, but ill go ahead and put this up and Castor can replace it if he wishes. All game talk goes in here. Please do not give play by play. If you need play by play go to CBS, ESPN, or Yahoo. 9-5 Brett Myers (12-6, 3.51) vs. Andy Pettitte (13-9, 2.50) 6:05 on FSSW 9-6 Jon Lieber (13-12, 4.67) vs. Roy Oswalt (16-11, 2.91) 6:05 on FSSW 9-7 Vicente Padilla (8-12, 4.51) vs. Brandon Backe (8-7, 4.93) 6:05 on FSSW
THis couldn't have started any better..... That is unless Biggio and Willy Homered.... WHOOOHOOOO!!! first three men reach. NOT OUTS Taveras scores off RBI single by MORGAN ENSBERGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
Boy... that BLAST from Lance sure looked good (especially since his last 3 HR's have been crawford box fly ball shots). The fact that it was a 3 run HR made it all the better.
Hehe, thats confidence in your pitcher to say that in the 2nd inning. But yea Andy has been on fire of late.
Does anyone have DirectTV and isn't getting the game. I haven't gotten an Astros game all weekend and when I finally called today the guy said it was blacked out but I don't think so. I just wanna know if I am not the only one before I call back.
He was hit by a pitch in the 3rd inning in the hand/wrist area. He sorta shook it off, and took his base (thus, it didn't look too bad). He continued to play the field in the bottom of the inning, and then came out after his next AB. I guess since it was still bothering him, they decided to take him out. Now Pettite looks like he got a nagging injury... likely when he tried to get Myers out on that slide and throw in the 3rd inning. Kinda sux that we have to actually use our bullpen before they do... and we're up 4-0 in the 6th inning.
uh oh. Howard is a beast. I'd almost thing about Lidge here except he is a wild pitch waiting to happen.
