What's up...Long time...We all need to get together for a game... This was a good win and wish Willy would have extended the streak and Roy the win... 4 in a row, do I hear 5...
(1) Willy T is a trooper. (2) My Adam is da bomb! (3) Brad Ausmus didn't hit into a double play. (4) Jason freaking Lane! WTF? That was ma'velous. I thoroughly enjoyed tonights game. I will be there Saturday. Tomorrow Clemens is up. This is going to be the shiznit.
What a great night. My softball team is still undefeated on the season, Astros pound the Brew crew to extend their streak to 4 and Oswalt signs an extension. Couldn't ask for much more.
clemens hitting a couple guys tomorrow should be pretty awesome. roy's funny with leads. i think if biggio never hit that homerun roy would have pitched a complete game shut-out and we probably win 1-0. one of his very few faults is that when he's going real strong, almost effortlessly, he'll occasionally go into cruise control and lose concentration. Especially when he feels like the games in the bag, which i suspect is what happened after the bidge homer. i always get the feeling with roy that he could mow down an all-star team just as easily as the pirates because he'd have to keep his head in the game the entire time. either way, he deserves a game where the ball-club picks him up for once. his stuff is as filthy as it's ever been and i think he'll only get better over the course of this new contract. his era is slightly higher then the last couple years but he's still phenomenal and more importantly, incredibly consistent.
Every major league player (except pitchers) with just a hint of discipline ought to have the green light on a 3-0 pitch with the bases loaded.
So true! Last night was definitely a "feel good" game. All the fans are hoping for a late run. Baseball is so affected by hot and cold streaks. If the bats come alive all at once, the pitching stays solid, and the bullpen holds together, anything is possible. If they sweep this series, it might be "on."
Last night's game had the most exciting 25min of any game this season. That 8th inning was AWESOME!!!!! Let's go Stros! GO FOR THE SWEEP!
i'm saying it's already "on!" we're only 3 games back with over a month to play. our competition is anything but formidable.
Time will tell if that was the spark that can light the Astros fire. Remember the series where Oswalt beaned the Cubs, fights ensued and suddenly the Astros had a fire in their belly.
