Let's keep the winning ways going. The 2006 Houston Astros stats for the entire league... 3rd in the league in HR's at 28 Tied for 5th in the MLB in AVG at .286 Tied for 5th in slugging percentage at .481 Tied for 4th in OBP at .365 10th in walks 10th in total bases at 291 7th in RBI's at 99 7th in Runs scored GO STROS!!!!!
Andy pitches a gem tonight and the Lance-Morgan juggernaut continues. O yeah and Preston Wilson hits a HR . ASTROS WIN !!! The best record in baseball
I've been looking forward to this for awhile. Anytime you can hear Vin Scully calling one of your games is a pleasure.
Going from the Pirates announcers to Vin Scully, well there is night and day. I went next door to the neighbors house and caught the last three innings of Sunday's game. The Pirate announcers are horrific.
As sad as it is, the Pirates announcers were FAR FAR worse the previous couple seasons. In years past with MLB EI, I would hear the Pirates announcers have literally 30-45 seconds of dead silence with nothing to say at all. You were almost wondering if they were even paying attention to the game. This pirates series, they seemed just like bad announcers, but announcers none the less.
Anyone see what PTI said about the stros? I just missed it. They had a segment on Astros/SOX RECAP PLEASE
Just watched it on my DVR. They basically just had a meaningless argument about whose start was more impressive. Tony says the Astros because they don't have Clemens, Pettitte is not doing well, and he thinks they are overachieving. Wilbon said it was the Sox because they started out 1-4, and he picked the Stros to be ahead of the Cards to start the season anyways supposedly (I highly doubt that though).
Dodgers are having some troubles getting the ball to first base. Hopefully Berkman makes them pay for it, right now.
Ugh... Willy fell for that one a little too easily. Bad baserunning is contagious, I guess. At least Morgan gets to come up with somebody on (since Lance walked).
Willy T's baserunning skills are horrible. Its already like the 4th or 5th time he has had a dumb mistake like that.
"Tracy McGrady couldn't have done it better." - Bill Brown Pretty funny. And now Willy T with a nice grab.
What an outfield. Wilson's grab was outstanding. Then Wiilie T making up for the base running error. I love it. What a fun team to watch.
Preston is making better contact than I've seen him make in about a week. Hopefully his next ab will be better.
Ausmus seems to have re-invented himself offensively. Far more selective of the pitches he offers at, and he's not trying to pull everything to the boxes (which resulted in a ton of DP's). Perhaps Gaetti is really worth it as a hitter's coach... I hope nobody else notices him, otherwise they'd give him a managerial job somewhere if this keeps up. Hell, Craig (in his last interview) was RAVING about the changes Gaetti pointed out he should make... and Biggio is a cliche machine (ie - he never talks about something that's on his mind... unless its really important).
