AP tells it like it is.

It had the makings of a classic. Promising young Astros pitcher making his first start vs. young Nationals left-hander the Astros had never seen before. It was all that as Juan Gutierrez and the boys dug a 1st inning hole a bit too deep to climb out of as the gNats took the game 7-6 and the series 3 games to 1.

Wandy pitched well, well enough to swing his road fortunes towards the positive but errors – and Derek Lowe – combined to send Wandy and the Good Guys to the loss column again. The Dojers whacked the Astros 6-2 in the finale at the Ravine.

Alyson’s fine

Wandy Rodriguez was coming off of back-to-back losses in which he gave up 11 earned runs in a little over 8 innings. Of course, those games were not at Minute Maid Park where the last earnie he surrendered was way back in June. Eny survived a rough 1st and the Astros offense went berzerk to frustrate the Fathers, 7-1. Back-to-back-to-back wins for the Good Guys.

When former Astros headcase Tim Redding popped up on the pitching probables for this series, I admit to feeling very much the same as others who feared The Sponge might mow down his ex-mates in epic fashion. Fortunately, those fears were not realized tonight as Timmah pitched well for the gNats but couldn’t overcome bombs by Lee and PENCE!!! as the Astros went on to win their first since the break 4-2.Read More

The horror!
PENCE!!! Ready or not?

The Goddamn Fucking Mets, Game 1. John Maine outpitched Jason Jennings in a thoroughly dominating performance. The Astros offense didn’t even sniff 2nd base for the first 5 while Jennings gave up 4 runs over the same span and the boys went on to lose it 6-2.Read More
