Astros 3, Giants 4
W: Barry Zito, L: Brett Myers
The Astros were swept for the 5th time this season. They have only won 4 series this season. We all know this not a good team. I still believe it is not as bad as they seem. Maybe they are. Maybe I am just an optomist. Maybe I just don’t want to believe they are as bad as they really are. Maybe I have no clue what I may be talking about anymore. Maybe I never really had a clue to begin.
One good thing about this game is that Myers pitched a complete game. He has been a nice addition to the pitching staff. I do not think many Astros fans thought he would be as effective as he has been.
One bad thing about this game is that the Astros outhit the Giants. The Astros seem to get a man on base and leave them stranded. I’m too lazy to look up the stat, but I would not be shocked if they led the league in stranding men on the bases.
I was looking at the upcoming schedule and think MLB did a great job of creating a mess. The Astros go to LA Dodgers for 2 games then Colorado comes to Houston for 2 games before the weekend series with Tampa Bay. I find 2 game series weird. But hey, Bud Selig is in charge so who knows?
Hopefully the Astros can get back on the winning track because I am not ready for another 8-game losing streak.
