another L. today. braves scored 3 in the bottom of the 8th and beat us 3-2. we started our regular starters besides bourn. go stros!
our pitcing was hardly our "regular" starters. of course, the positive is that the pitching shutout the braves for 8 innings in a spring training game.
insomnia. i go through sleeping funks sometimes. my little boy came in our room at 3 and that woke me up...I was wide awake until about 5:00.
Astros didn't lose. 1-1 F/11 vs. Detroit. Moehler went 5 innings giving up 4 hits, 1 BB, and 0 ER with 3 K's. Astros only managed 3 hits.
speculations are that a team made wade an offer on a third baseman that he's making available. who the heck knows who it is, but i'm guessing they have to be decent (or certainly an upgrade). my heart and prayers go out to aaron boone and i certainly wouldn't have wanted it to go down this way, but 3rd base, as it stood, was going to be a major weak spot. it's apparent that they have no intention of blum being a full-timer, and unless chris johnson gets pretty hot for the balance of the spring, this could get pretty interesting. we could be backdooring our way to a powerhouse of an offense.
Yeah. mlb trade rumors reports that Wade also said that they would let Blum and CJ play and see where we are. I doubt we'll acquire anybody decent. We have no trade pieces.
12-1 loss to the Mets. Wandy gave up 5 runs in 2 innings. Only 1 run was earned but that was because of his own error. 1-16-3
The Astros with 4 more errors today. Only 5 of the 12 runs were earned. It seems like they are committing multiple errors every game. Not much looks good right now. Pelfrey retired the first 9 Astros in order. And Blum is having back issues.
We simply MUST acquire a 3B since Blum's body is breaking down and Boone is having a serious health problem treated.
