W:Sanchez (4-3) L:Norris (4-4)
I was watching this game for about an hour and a half and I was thinking the Astros and Bud were doing pretty good. I should have known when Altuve dislocated his jaw things were not going to go the Astros way. Bud gave up 6 runs in the 4th inning and there were no more runs for the Astros on the night. Bud also left the game with back spasms. I guess when it rains, it pours? The bright spot on the night is that the bullpen didn’t give up any runs.
If the Astros could get some major league pitching, they’d probably win a few more games. Which usually leads me to think about the minor leagues. I’m excited they are performing better. I don’t want the youngsters to be brought up unless they are ready. Regardless of the temptation to do something
The draft will be interesting. I hope and pray that Luhnow can find a magic rabbit in his baseball cap and help this team for the long-term.
On a personal note, I’ve been rather stressed of late and I am quite tired of it. I believe that each person is responsible for their happiness. And I’ve been doing a shitty job of being happy. So, I’ve decided to add something that makes me smile in every recap. Some of you know I am the assistant to a VP. And that VP is a female and let me tell you, working with a woman is not an easy thing (and yes, this includes me). But, I still think of myself as a secretary with a better title. I don’t think it is bad to be a secretary. Honestly, I’m very good at my job. Sometimes my emotions get the better of me but there are a number of reasons for those emotions, which none of you want to know or need to know.
But this clip, is something that can give me a genuine smile every time I watch it.
