Please keep this to talk about the series. As usual no Play-by-Play, or general Astros talk. If you need play by play see one of the many other sites that have game casts. 9-20 Bud Norris, RHP vs. Livan Hernandez, RHP 6:05 on FSH 9-21 J.A.

Yeah, it does...but for someone who lives 5 minutes from Dell Diamond, it sucks. Guess I'll be going to less games from now on...probably only when the whatever-the-OKC-team-is-called comes to town.
Just checked into the game. 3 Nats errors already? Either they suck, or we're being really aggressive on the base paths.
Hopefully Bud can eliminate some of those untimely walks next season. 2 outs, light hitting Kennedy at the plate with Zimmerman on deck and he walks him on 4 pitches. Hopefully it doesn't prove costly. Edit: Byrdak gets Dunn on 3 pitches. Still, that's definitely something for Bud to improve upon next season.
this is getting ridiculous. we were discussing a 100 loss season at one point. just amazing. go 'stros!
Interesting but I don't see it unless we get rid of Caballo... http://news.bostonherald.com/blogs/sports/red_sox/?p=4263&srvc=home&position=recent
We will surely have the payroll to sign him but I don't really see the advantage. He's going to be 30 years old soon and even though we have been well above .500 since the break I think it would be smart to just save the money. I'll take me some Prince Fielder after next year.
Uggla would be perfect. I agree we should hold off on Crawford. Hopefully, Wade and company are rightfully gun-shy on giving older outfielders a truckload of money (...and no trade clauses, and 6 guaranteed years, and...). My biggest quesiton about next year and beyond is this, could we "buy out" Carlos Lee? There has to be a way to get out from under his contract, right? Or do we pick up half his salary and trade him for a bag of balls? Would that even be prudent? It's much harder to add a solid bat (which we'll need next year) in the middle infield than add a bat in a corner outfield position.
