I just read on ASTROS.com that Pettitte is going to miss his next start. Damn. Oh well, here we go. game is under way....and zap. there goes my KTRH audio feed. Damn. I thought if I logged in an hour early I could listen. ugh. BOOOOOO 1-0 Cards.
Urgh!!! I just left an angry message for the folks at the FOX 4 Sports Dept. in Dallas because for some reason they showed the Mariners-Red Sox game instead of the Cardinals-Astros game, which FOX is carrying today. I can't believe this crap. I guess they figure North Texas is an AL market, so that's the game they show.
Yeah I've got the same problem, theyre showing the Angels game in LA (makes sense, but common KCAL can carry a damn Angels game)
Well, with all due respect to Astros fans elsewhere... if they had the choice between showing a Braves, Phillies or Giants game here vs. a Texas Rangers game, I think all the Houston people would rather see the NL teams because this is an NL market. But, of course, had I been in Dallas, I'd be thinkin the same thing...
Yeah, my game day just showed that. Pujols is killing us today. 2-2. 2 Rbi Miller needs to get his stuff together, no more lolly gagging around. EDIT: Walk...great. Bases loaded for Renteria.
The pitchers are really helping themselves out today...Wade just hit an RBI single to put the Good Guys up 3-2
Wade is clearly not right... whether it be the nerve problem in his neck, or just the similiar pattern of him getting off to slow starts on the season... he's gotta be smarter in his pitch location to some of these great hitters. Right now, he really looks just like another ho-hum 4th starter, not a potential 1 pitching in the 4th spot.
He was around 100 pitches, and never looked comfotable at all today. Of course, the lefty-lefty thing doesn't work when Gallo walks Edmonds.
WTF was that.... why the hell didn't Morgan try to get Rolen out? Who cares about the double-play, look at the rest of the lineup coming up in this inning. Mabry, McKay, Woody, Anderson??? Stros could have easily gotten out of this with just the Pujols HR scored.
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD ARGHHHHH Bases loaded one out...you would think that they would score right? WRONG DOUBLE PLAY
Did you see the play? Morgan hits a screaming line drive that Woody stabs in SELF DEFENSE. No way anybody can get back on base for that (especially since the runners are naturally trying to break up the conventional DP anyways). That's twice in three games when the pitcher has done that (Maddux)... hopefilly these things even out in the long-run.
We're due for a bust-out inning... EDIT: n/m... I should have said we're due for an inning with an infield single, a sac bunt, and 2 big K's swinging.
