Astros 4, Pirates 1
W: Brett Myers, L: Brad Lincoln, S: Mark Melancon
I was only able to watch part of this game on the television last night but I had the opportunity to catch a couple innings with DoRay. I am disappointed to say that I do not know what happened in the first part of the game. I mean, I know what happened because I can read recaps and boxscores but if you had asked me at the time the game was occurring I could not tell you.
I was kind of shocked to learn that this was Myers 4th win of the season. Seriously, he’s only won 4 games. I mean, I know the Astros aren’t great and all, but for your “Ace” to only have 4 wins is really bad. I’d like to say the fault is mine for drafting him in fantasy baseball, but even I couldn’t have had that much influence on his record.
The kid he opposed was, Brad Lincoln, is a former UH student. I remember seeing him pitch at games. I hope he does well against other teams.
I’m still hoping the Astros get to 55 wins. I know 7 more wins is not that many, but this team needs a goal!
