thats what im talkin' about! how good is the move by garner to switch berkman and ensberg in the lineup looking today...
Just don't GIDP.... let Orlando have a shot. EDIT: He tried to... Giles prevented it.... that could be a huge play.
fwiw... Lane did have a HR in last year's game 1 (because it was a blowout)... so its not like this is all "never been in the playoffs jitters."
A lot of good things in that inning... scored 2 runs, and made Hudson throw a ton of pitches. Everybody relax... the offense came today.... now, we just need Andy to get into that groove.
He is... but I have to give our approach at the plate some credit as well. Its an overcast day, so the ball looks to be easily picked up from the mound, and the hitters are laying off some close pitches (especially Lance). And when he has thrown it in the zone, Biggio and Morgan have killed it.
wow, a bases loaded hit (that scored 2 runs even) for the astros. of course, if anyone was going to do it, it's ensberg. he's the guy i'm most confident in when there are RISP. now pettitte just needs to be pettitte.
