    Great first inning for Sampson. I've been a fan of his ever since they brought him up last year.

    Love the Rox, but I'm a baseball guy.

    Is Brandon Phillips an Astro killer? Always seems to have a good game against us.

    And the good thing about this is the team has been putting together some pretty good offensive games to climb back to .500...and Berkman hasn't even got it going yet.

    Alright Lance... lets tie this thing up right here.

    You've successfully fooled Harang into forgetting that you own him... lets remind him who's boss.

    Lee is an RBI machine... ironically, Lance isn't hitting as well when he has a big hitter backing him up. Maybe he should flip-flop spots with Lee.

    Wow it's nice to see another strong performance from Sampson. Let's take this game back in the 8th!

    Freaking fundamental baseball... if Craig isn't comfortable bunting in that situation, somebody else should There's no reason to keep him in on his quest for 3000 when all we need is a bunt.

    I don't like the call to bunt with 2 strikes, but Bidge has still got to do better than that.

    Edit: Way to go Lance! ... lets get that lead Carlos!

    Bidge is a DP threat... they wanted either Lamb or Berkman (or both) to hit, let alone hit with a RISP.

    The main issue I have is Biggio trying to bunt for a hit with 2 strikes, instead of just getting the sacrafice down.

    I like being wrong, if it’s for the betterment of the club. Good job Lane.
