Rockies 6, Astros 9
W: Sosa (3-5) L: White (3-3) SV: Melancon (20)
The Astros notched their 54th win of the season. Earlier this year I hoped they would make it to 55 wins. Looking kind of good for that. I don’t want to put all my hopes in one at-bat.
Lively gamezone tonight. Some stories about little league game experiences. Could be worth checking out.
Bench Tidbits:
Astros get #1 pick in the 2012 draft. Yay! Go team.
Coaching staff asked to return. I’m not sure I like this. I didn’t think they did all that great of a job. Yeah, I know the talent level was/is not there, but I expect professionals to draw something extra out of players. It’s probably seen as an unreasonable expectation but I do not care.
Bill Brown to be honored. Most of love our TV guys and want to shoot the radio guys. But here is a chance to show Brownie some love.
RFTL decision. I’m going to try and figure something out. I may not give out a lid this year, there really hasn’t been a real winner the past two years. I may decide to give the lid to the person that can answer the most Brad Ausmus questions I create. I may give the lid to the person that can prove they traveled the farthest to come to an Astros game on purpose this year. I kind of like that one.
Happy Friday. Great BagwellsBeard is working on an outstanding series preview. Stay tuned.
