See that above? That’s me wasting space and distracting you from reading this recap. I would’ve typed this in New Courier had I known how to format it.
Because, really, if you didn’t see the game Friday night, consider yourself lucky and just move on to something else. In short, the Astros lost. Not in spectacular fashion or in a season-crippling manner – just shitty pitching and shitty hitting.
Paulino couldn’t find the plate, gave up runs early and often and basically halted whatever he momentum was riding from his last brilliant start. He got pulled in the 5th and was knocked around for seven earnies.
Pence led the batters with a 3/4 night and a solo shabby in the fourth. But aside from Berkman (2-4, RBI), the rest of the Astros couldn’t catch up to the ex-Cub and ex-Card journeyman. Guys, if Thunderpants somehow figured this guy out – what the fuck are you doing out there?
Alas, it was a loss after a nice little win streak; its only saving grace is that the BFiB are probably even more infuriated their beloved team got swept by this putrid mess.
Saturday’s game – Oswalt vs Lincecum!
