Buck -- great call on Brocklander!! that jackass!!! Reynolds was safe!!!!! pgabriel -- how could i have forgotten javy lopez??? man! i can't stand that guy...and it always irks me when braves "fans" cheer wildly for him here in Houston.
Max, Larry Wayne Jones get much more adoration from the pre-pubecent females than Lopez. Both own the 'Stros however.
I forgot about Ron Gant. Great call. That guy killed us. Woody Williams is becoming an Astros killer. Dykstra is a good one too. Ryne Sandberg had numerous muti-homer games against us. Vinny Castilla hit more than one game winning homer off of Wagner in the past. Andre Dawson might be the all time one though. I swear, if I had a nickle for every time he hit a homer off of Julio "Home Run" Salano or Aurelio Lopez, I would be a rich man. I remember in 1987, he must have hit at least 10 homers off of us that year alone (I think he hit close to 50 for the whole season). Javy Lopez stuck it to us alot also. He is no Biff Pobaroba though.
geoff Blum has been hospitalized from a virus. They reported he was pulled from the lineup last nite due to the flu but he has had severe headaches and was held overnight for observation. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=fanball-astrosblumhospitaliz&prov=fanball&type=lgns
Just got this update: Blum has been diagnosed with Viral Menengitis. He is expected back with the team on Thursday. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-astros-blum&prov=ap&type=lgns
OUCH! Bad luck for Munro.... whatever he left up, they nailed. Actually, its not bad luck when you leave a pitch up, but an average team only hits 1 out of every 3 bad pitches. The Cardinals probably hit 3 out of every 5 bad pitches, and they hit the first 3 they saw from Munro hard. We'll see how the rest of the game goes...
So much for the Peter Munro - Starting Pitcher experiment. I would kill for some stability at the end of the rotation.
And I was praying that Ensberg wouldn't ground into the double play. I hope Bagwell pulls out of his annual early season slump soon...
Simply for his complete and total mojo over Billy Wagner nowadays, I nominate Aramis Ramirez as an Astro-Killer. He had like six homers last year, and I'm certain they all came against Wagner.
Ok if anyone has a link to footage of the "Cane Lady" I would a ppreciate the link. I missed last nights game and may miss tonites as well and I did not get to see it CK
They just showed it on PTI..if you missed that airing they probaly will air it tonight like they usally do..It was the last segmant right before "five good minutes"...its pretty funny
What exactly happened? I also saw it on PTI but wasn't paying close attention. I'd be hella pissed if I was the guy who got "caned".
At least Bagwell was man enough to admit he f****** up in the 9th inning last night. There was no excuse for swinging for the pitch that he did. 1-0 count, down 3, bases juiced, 1 out, you don't swing at an obvious pitchers pitch. He couldn't have done anything with the pitch anyway. I love Jeff, but sometimes I want to inject some of my favorite professional athletes with my intelligence. Granted, if you gave me with my brain, their ability, its over.
about time everett jacks his first major league home run... robertson lookin good tonite, hope he stays that way
