I knew our guys would have big inning late in this game. They always do this season. They start to come alive late in games, when the time is CLUTCH. WHOOO ESPN2 giving lots of love to Clemens right now on Baseball tonight. It's up to the bullpen now! Come on Lidge and Dotel!
Ugh. Come on Lidge. Don't have another 2 out, no one on meltdown. EDIT: Now 2-0 to Castillo. Geez. Its like Lidge just loses it after 2 outs lately.
He came back to make it a full count, but Pierre got a single. 2 outs. Man on first, who can be on second in a sec. Juan is great at stealing. Pierre is bothering Lidge. He has his attention. 2 straight balls by Lidge.
WHOOOOOO Caught him stealing!!! Pierre is pissed!!!! Juan over slid the base, and Everette helped his reaching hand off the base! LMAO!!!! HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!
YES!!! Pierre overslid the base. Nice job by Everett to stay with it!!!!! Lidge gets out of the inning with no damage.
That was a great play by Everette to help Pierre off the base! LOL! What a smart play. Great job! LETS GO STROS!!!!
YES!!!!! Bidge with the insurance HR!!!! That is HUGE!!!!!!!! 3-1 Stros. A lil breathing room for Ducky.
What was the crowd just chanting? Anyone catch it? Bagwell with the single!! Kent walked. 2 men on. 1 out. Fact: Biggio only had 15HR's last season. He already has 7HR this season! His smaller leg kick is really helping him!
Single by Berkman! Bagwell scores!! Kent to 3rd!!! 3 straight hits by Berkman!!! 3rbi's!!! 4-1 Good Guys!!!
If it isn't Dotel, Id bring in Miceli or even Backe. Give Ducky another day off and limit Lidge's pitch count so they will both stay fresh for the rest of the series. I think it will be Dotel though. Ensberg singles. 2 runs score. 6-1 Stros!!!!! Damn Ensberg. Taking away Ducky's save. Id go with Backe in the ninth now. But I'm not Jimy.
AHhhh I turned on Chapelle and missed that single!!! How did he make it to 2nd? Still one out. men on 2nd and 3rd. 6-1!!! Backe is coming in the top of the top of the 9th.
