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. Two game set withthe Bravos. 4-18 Tim Hudson (1-0, 1.38) vs. Roger Clemens (1-0, 0.64) 7:05 on KNWS 4-19 John Thomson (1-1, 3.46) vs. Brandon Backe (0-0, 3.97) 7:05 on FSSW
Drayton will rape numerous women and children while Jeff Kent and Carlos Beltran cure cancer and AIDS after hitting 17 grand slams for their respective teams. There will be a couple of one-run games though and the team will play tough, but no one will notice. Or care.
I'm sure the offense will struggle and that's all I'm sure of. Wait...I'm not even sure of that. I don't know what our team will do after an absolutely horrid road trip going 1 - 5. We were good at excusing those losses away, though. We're 1 - 5 on the road...I know that much.
Trust me there will be a few people here that notice. If we lose, you can bet they'll be in here complaining about everything, from Drayton being too cheap to buy good sunflower seeds for the dugout to the laundry guy washing their uniforms in the wrong detergent. But one constant will remain! Because we didn't go 162-0 ,there will be complaints in this thread that we should have signed Beltran, Kent, Nolan Ryan, Ted Williams' head and the corpse of Babe Ruth.
I was reading my free Subscription to Sporting News and I saw that our very own Jeff Bagwell is THE HIGHEST PAID FIRSTBASEMAN IN THE LEAGUE! Oh well, I guess he deserves it, just surprised me though.
little worried about tonight since we usually dont perform well against other aces....especially guys we have never seen....hopefully clemens can pitch another gem and we scrape out a 2-1 win thomson is hittable....and i like that matchup for us on tues
LL Clemens dominates but that terrible offense can only manage 1 run. Backe pitches a good game also but the offense sucks again.
Actually we faced Hudson (and Mulder too) in the 2002 season. He pitched 7 innings with 7 hits and 1 run. Redding started and gave up 6 runs in the 4th(what a surprise) Then the Astros tied it with 5 in the 8th off Jim Mecir. However, the almighty Dotel gave up a bomb to Tejada in the bottom of the 8th to lose the game for us.
W & W... We need it, but we got Roger and I got a feeling the bats will liven up... Duckworth Sux Arse!!!!
You two guys really need to back off. Everyone gave the guy credit when he got Pettite and Clemens and no one complained when he didn't sign Beltran and pretty blamed Boras and Beltran so if people want to complain about some moves don't act like its all people do. They give him credit when its due and criticize when its due. Not signing Kent looks like a huge mistake right no matter how you guys spin it so complaining about it right now is complaining justifiable. That's what fans do on a message board.
You're kidding right? No one blamed McLane when Beltran wasn't resigned? That must've been around the same time you didn't post your feelings on the Kent deal that you're magically sharing with us today. BTW, Biggio is absolutely killing us out there.
MLB TV is worth it. I am in the blackout area but for some odd reason (nothing on my part) I can watch the Astros. It may work for you so I'd check it out, at least 1 month.
I said he got played but I didn't complain. But I'm not just talking about myself anyway. The way you two guys start posting back and forth with your sarcasm about Drayton criticism could really be done in private. We get it. Get a freakin room.
