Yep. SamCassell: Jimerson's nothing like Mouton or Hunter; he has more raw power than anybody currently on the Astros not named Berkman. He crushes the ball, just can't make consistent contact. He'll hopefully make a damn fine 4th/5th OFer next year or thereafter. And you're right about Luke Scott, he was handed a job twice & did next to nothing with the opportunity. And he's not exactly dominating AAA pitching right now.
I went to the game Monday night. I am pissed that because Bonds was in town, we couldn't stand in the area overlooking the field where the gas pump is. It was cordoned off by security with photographers hogging up all that prime real estate. There was also a fence between The Crawford Boxes and the Gas Pump that was about 3-4 feet from the actual railing overlooking the field. I felt unwelcomed in our own stadium.
2000: 6-0 2001: 3-0 2002: 2-1 2003: 2-1 2004: 2-1 2005: 2-2 Woohoo! 2006: 1-0 18-5, have outscored the Stros 139 to 95 (6.04 to 4.13 R/G).
Tonight will be a good game. I think that the Astros will win! Wandy Rodrigez is not scared of Barry Bonds hitting a homerun. I think Barry Bonds will wait untill he gets back home to hit a homerun. That way he can hit a homerun at home. Wandy Rodrigez is undeafeated at home this year! I think Jason LAne will have a good night and will hit a homerun!
Its return to normalcy week... Pettite throws a shutout, Lance is hurt, and young pitchers are horrible.
Wandy is bringing this upon himself... walking the leadoff man, and walking the 8th hitter on 8 straight pitches.
I think the Astros should petition MLB to play all 6 games against the Giants in San Fransisco next year.
wow it seems that once somebody goes cold EVERYONE goes cold, pitchers, batters, hell i bet even the ball boy is in a slump
Well, if Jamey Wright can't beat the Astros tonight, he may never will... and Morgan just went yard off him.
Team will work through this stretch, but if Clemens and Backe are able to return soon it would sure make me feel better.
No the Astros should petition MLB to not play the Giants at all...they've flat out owned this team since 2000.
