    So... after tonight's 8-strikeout showing, the Astros lead the 2010 D-Backs in that category, 82-53.

    I would gladly pay Comcast to keep this product on their network. I'm fine without witnessing this mess.

    I fell asleep in the 8th inning. I just remember Carter just swinging his bat like a tee baller

    Tonight's pitcher only had 1 K in 6 innings last game. How many will he get tonight?

    I say 6.

    If he got 1 K in 6 innings in his last start, then I think it's quite clear he will get 6 K's in 1 inning tonight.

    so the plus side of going to see a bad team is that no one talks **** to you. They just felt bad for me. And complimented my Joe Morgan/Colt .45's jersey

    It doesn't matter how much they strike out, they still have to keep sending someone to the plate. No matter how many runs the other team scores, they have to keep sending out another pitcher. I don't like all the losing but I'm going to keep pulling for the Astros. I am having a hard time believing in Jim Crane, yetiI do think the system is heading in the right direction.
