    As always, no PBP in the thread. If you need that try one of the game cast sites. Keep discussion to this series. If it is not about this series it goes somewhere else.


    8-8 Wandy Rodriguez, LHP (7-8, 3.69) vs. Daniel Hudson, RHP (11-7, 3.67) 8:40 on MLBTV

    8-9 Jordan Lyles, RHP (1-6, 4.36) vs. Jason Marquis, RHP (0-1, 15.75) 8:40 on FSH

    8-10 Brett Myers, RHP (3-12, 4.76) vs. Josh Collmenter, RHP (6-7, 3.58) 8:40 on FSH

    8-11 Not J.A. Happ vs. Joe Saunders, LHP (8-9, 3.61) 8:40 on FSH

    Let's sweep the D-bags!

    I don't hate the D-backs, but it's too tempting not to say it.

    Plus, they ripped off our colors.

    Go 'Stros!

    Wandy has shot, and I think Lyles will win his second straight. Myers will get crushed in that field. PTBNL probably will, too. Let's go Hooks!!

    For a change, Lee is not starting. Downs at 1B, Martinez hitting cleanup.

    I'm rooting for Wandy to become a .500 pitcher on the year--that would be amazing considering the historically inept team for which he pitchers. :(

    Also firmly in "not JA Happ"'s corner. TBA ftw!!!!!

    Prediction: LLLL

    :(

    I wonder who the TBA will be? I'd love for it to be Henry Sosa, but I have a feeling they won't want to take someone else off the 40 man. It'll probably end up being Aneury (Anuery?) Rodriguez.

    Spot Wandy a 5 run lead. We may just have a chance to win this one ;)

    Gave it a shot... didn't work... seemed to indicate that I wasn't in a blackout area so that's not the problem... looks like you have to pay.

    Wow these astros rooks are killing it!

    I am hoping Martinez can hit for average because he looks like he is going to hit for power!

    ^^ To say we're looking at a small sample size is an understatement. I think the concern of people inside the org is actually the exact opposite.

    Looks like he just had another great AB... single after 8 pitches.

    Remember Cody Ransom? He's having a monster season in the minors at age 35... playing SS tonight... played a huge role in the D'back's last win (HR off Kershaw, good defense).

    Committed an error in the 1st tonight before JD's HR.

    Nice to see a AAAA type having some success.
