well, Ensberg at least swung. I like the trouble a Pence double creates at the 2 spot.

Berkman was fucking robbed on the fourth pitch of the at bat. Changed the inning.

I'm surprised Wainwright didn't walk him and pitch to Lee for the dp

I thought he was trying to... then it turned in to more of the fact he couldn't get a fastball over.

Lee is incorrigible. Why pass up the opportunity to humiliate Lance? Pence will be pitched around this game, just wait

It's Wainwright, he pitches around everyone. He's killing my fantacrap, I benched his ass for this game.

Ensberg is some sort of idiot. Biggio's skills are diminishing by the hour.

Wainright remembered to throw Gunther curve balls.

I think we need to strap Lance's throwing arm to his side. Bad things happen when he tries to use it.

And Edmonds. Somehow he can be hitting .090 against the rest of the league, and he's still an Astro-killerl. Now he walks.

Is anybody else watching this in HD tonight? Are you seeing some foggy artifacts during transitions from one camera shot to another? I'm hoping that what I'm seeing is just the cameras/editing and not my television.

I haven't noticed any, but I'll keep an eye out for it. I did notice some gray pixels earlier in the game but figured it was my dish.

I just saw a bunch of ghosting and pixels when Pence stole second. There was a close-up of Wainwright and it stayed on the screen while they cut away to Pence.

Yeah, I think the problem is with the transmission.

Too bad about Carlos' shot down the LF line. And the RF line. Damn!!!!!

Luke up in the 8th with Berkman abord.  Let'd get it done.

Oh, and Edmonds is sooooo gay.  NTTAWWT.

Whereas the Astros generally manage to be the best-game-pitched-against for a lot of shitty pitchers this year, it should be noted that they now have the distinction of being Adam Wainwright's TWO best games-pitched-against this year.

Yup, that was an out, and it wasn't even a difficult call: the runner was off the bag while the tag was on him. But that's the way this season is going for the 'Stros.

Nah, its this de-emphasis by the umps of making the runner actually execute the slide. JD is always saying shit like 'if you beat the throw, you are going to get that call.'

I have an announcement.   Not bitter.  Not angry.  Doesn't mean I won't watch every night and I'm not suggesting you stop watching either.

This team isn't about one guy not getting his hits or that guy not pitching well or a bench or a bullpen or whatever.

This just isn't a good team.

We were contenders for something like 9 of the last 10 years.  You can't ask for more than that and you can't expect to contend every year.  We got spoiled.  This team, as is, ain't going nowhere.  If they do, feel absolutely free to drag this up against me later.

Man.  It's a baseball team, not the pope.  You don't have to believe they're great or it says something about your fanhood.  This is not a playoff bound team, as is.  Make some trades, release some players, sure.  As is?  No chance.   Can't win 'em all man.  Have to be below average every once in a while.
