Forget Kent. Bagwell = Francis Watching Bagwell pop out is like watching Francis dribble the clock out.
Once again, Giants OWN Minute Maid Park. Would it be too outrageous to petition MLB to play them in the Dome from now on??
The good news is that it's still early. Other than that, the pitching hasn't looked sharp and the offense still chokes when it counts.
It's still early and our pitching 1-5 is about as good as it gets, and two games doesn't mean a damn thing. I'm still optimistic about the rest of our 160 games.
But people think going out and spending 10mil on an average pitcher was the answer. I told you guys, pitching was not this team's problem last year. Defense and situational hitting. The stro's addressed neither of those needs yet they are supposed to be a lock for the playoffs.
Quick reminder: The game tonight has been moved up to 6:05 because of national television. I'm glad the Astros sent me an e-mail this morning or I would have showed up to Minute Maid an hour late.
Actually, although It has happened, I can't remember the last time two Houston sports teams won in the same day. What a great day that would be. I think the Rockets and Texans won on the same day in November.
Anybody else hear about that ridiculous celebration the Giants want to do if Bonds hits his Willie Mays tying home run tonight. There is talk about presented Bonds with an Olympic torch at homeplate. Bagwell, Biggio and Jimy Williams have all come out against it. First off, no record is being broken. Last time i checked Mays was 3rd on the list, not 1st. Second this is Houston, not San Francisco, save your celebration for some other time. Third Mays says he wants to hug Bonds at home plate after he hits the home run. Have your special "Family moment" in private. I don't think it's right to interupt a game for a non record.
