Who thinks that Backe is going to get shelled in his game today? It wouldn't surprise me. It's tough enough to come back but against this Mets offense. Ouch!
These are the type of games going into that you know you don't have a chance yet the astros seem to show some sort of life and pull out a victory...
I hope your right. We really need to put some wins together before we far even further behind than we allready are...
So wait, the mets are playing us *and* the reds today? Isnt that a little unfair to them? How did Bud Selig allow this to happen!? Hopefully they're worn down for our game though.
WTF?! I thought this was the game of the week on fox. Why are the damn cubbies on my tv?! EDIT: Oh.....i just saw ur post that said Rain Delay. I have a slow internet connection right now since I'm leeching of someone's wireless connection.
Ok here's something I don't get...so Luke Scott has shown some promise since he's been up here and Garner decides to put him in the lineup...but he takes Chris Burke out to do it...so that doesn't really make this lineup any better. He needs to find a way to put the best bats out there...unfortunately that'd mean taking Everett out...and as much as I love his defense, this team is in dire need of runs so you most likely are gonna have to sub for Everett. Maybe he should experiment just to see... Huff (3b), Burke (ss), Bidge (2b), Lamb (1b), Berkman, Scott and Wilson (of) just to see what that lineup can do and if they cost more runs than they produce. I mean crap, you gotta try something right. ---Yay Berkman!
That hr was a good thing cause I have a feeling the team is gonna need some runs today with Backe returning (bound to be rusty, hopefully not though)
agreed...he changes the lineup so much might as well expirement this way....screw defense lets score some runs to get some confidence going!!!
It seemed like Hernandez was throwing a couple hangers. I was thinking we might take him deep. Glad to see we did it twice....kinda like the first week of the season when Berkman/Wilson hit a homerun in the same inning.
It's sad when I'm hoping for Ausmus to strike out so he won't hit into a double play - then he hits into a double play.
I'm glad Berkman is finally batting 3rd. You give the Stros a chance to score in the 1st inn. everytime he bats in the 1st inn. Most teams put their best batter in the 3rd hole...Good Move Garner !!
