No score after 1. Norris has a good heater tonight, hitting 96 once and 95 twice.
-
He must be fairly deceptive, too: Pujols was fooled badly on that pitch he popped up.

He had a case of big eyes on a high piece of cheese. Seen it a 1000 times. They can't get that pitch, but it looks so good.
-
JD line of the decade: They were talking about the new grass at Busch, which came from Colorado. JD said "I hear that you can get some good grass in Colorado." Priceless.
-
JD says Beltran is headed to SF tonight. I wonder what the haul is for the Mets.
-
Barmes a two run jack.
-
Wallace needs to watch how Barmes drops the head on that down-and-in pitch.
-
Barmy!
-
Barmes!!!
Is it just me, or is Altuve getting busted inside in a large majority of his pitches?
-

No. It's not unusual to start a guy that way until he proves that he can get around on it.
-
I'm surprised we're not hearing more about Barmes on the trade front...great in the field and he's been swinging the bat really well as of late.

Ricky Weeks just left the Brewer's game with an injured ankle...
-
Great changeup call on 3-2 for a Ks.
-
Altuve!!!!
-
ALTUVE!!!
-
I'm really enjoying this "good shortstop" thing the Astros have going.
-
Another night another really nice play in the field to save a run from Barmes
-
Bud's mowing 'em down.
-
Carpenter just dropped a wicked hammer on CJ for strike three.
-
Oops: those two balls were hit hard.
-
Bourn's really hitting the ball well.
-
Altuve does not hit cheapies
-
Altuve is a fun player to watch.
-
Dammit!
-
Bases loaded with one out, and we get bupkis. We will lose this game.
-
Signature inning.
-
Carlos should have slammed his bat down on that popup; I hear Carpenter loves that.
-
Who didn't think he was going to hit a weak pop up to the right side?
-

It's even better than that, because if they hadn't fucked up the sac they still would have scored at least one.
-
Carlos with a soft popup to end a rally? Nah, couldn't be...
-
Who didn't think he was going to hit a weak pop up to the right side?
I didn't. I was expecting his 3rd K.
-
I didn't. I was expecting his 3rd K.
He's better at making contact though. Feeble, worthless contact but contact anyhow.
-
Damn Bourn is good
-
Bourn is just phenomenal in CF.
-
Can they just pay Bourn and keep him around? Pence can be replaced.
-
Michael Bourn's glove: Where triples go to die!
Tell ya, Bourn and Bud have been a you to watch - even with the typical crap that YOUR 2011 Houston Astros have been putting out this season... Altuve has been an added bonus!
-
I'll bet that Wallace's bunting game just terrifies opponents.
-

This is kinda what I think as well. Wonder what Bourn will cost as an FA?
-

Not as much as Pence I imagine.

Well, if there's one person who wont undervalue him, it's Boras.

True dat.
-

It certainly terrifies me...
-
Bourn's the kind of guy who is traditionally undervalued on the free agent market. I'm no fan of Boras, but I'll be happy to see Bourn get the kind of contract he deserves. I'll be sad that it's with another team.
-
Just posted this in the TZ, but it bears repeating here- or maybe it bears being completely ignored, I'm not sure-
appears more and more pence is staying. #astros stepping up efforts to deal wandy, myers, bourn.
Fucking Jon Heyman. I hope he's fucking lying, or that his source is Ruben Amaro.
-
This team has idiots at every corner.
-
Man, what a play by Barmes!
Man, what a play by Bourn!
Man, what an adventure Johnson is!
-
Brownie, fucking stop blaming shit on the new grass.
-
CJ, if you're not hitting, you sure as shit need to be fielding.
-

Trading Bourn and keeping Pence makes no sense to me. I hope its just Heyman being an idiot.

The only way this gets better is if the Astros' braintrust trades Bourn and moves Pence to CF.

"The Rays would want Julio Teheran, Randall Delgado, Mike Minor, or Arodys Vizcaino from the Braves for Upton, tweets ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.
The Rays are just fucking with the Braves.
-
Fuuuuuuuucking corporan!
-
Shitfuck
-
Fuck. That sucks.
-
Slapdickery.
-
Ugh. I'm sick of Corporan.
-
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... They had that smug SOB out by 20 feet...............
-
I wonder if Brocail auditioned for the role of Rooster Cogburn.
-
Fuck. That sucks.
And it was so, so close to being awesome too. Great job by Bourn.

Yes, it would have been very sweet to see Pujols out by 3 lengths. It would have been even better to listen to LaRussa justify it in the postgame conference.
-
God damnit, Brownie. You're pissing me off with this blaming the new grass. It ain't hurting the Cardinals.

I don't think they were blaming that one on the *new* grass, just commenting that it skipped a little bit because of the grass. Same thing would have happened with the old grass.

They were clearly implying that. No excuse for Corporan not making that play.
-
In other news, the Pirates and Braves are in extra innings yet again.

Sure there is, he is awful.

That's the reason, but it's not an excuse.

One of the little hopeful things I am clinging to these days is that Jason Castro can come back for the last few weeks of the season and provide some hope for next year.
-
Hey guys, it's either Corporan or Towles. Pick your poison.
That's actually the state of this team.
-

I'd much rather make sure that he's completely strong and healthy for next year than risk injury during a cameo this season.

That's assuming we haven't climbed back into the division race
-

Only 22 games back!

Rodriguez has really fucked up what should have been an easy inning.
-
Could still win 92 games

YOUR 2011 Houston Astros!

Manchester United is disassembling the MLS All Stars in a very nonchalant fashion.
-
So carpenter batted but didn't come back out?
-
So carpenter batted but didn't come back out?
Yep. He's a good bunter.
-

Aye, just to lay down the sac.
-

Wait. So this season is now so completely fucked that we all agree with La Genius?
-
Aye, just to lay down the sac.
So LaRussa just needed him to lay down the sac?
-
Wait. So this season is now so completely fucked that we all agree with La Genius?
Yep. We're down that far.
-
I'm sure that Hunter will be calm and controlled in this situation.
-
Jeez-uz, does Mills really think that CJ is a better hitter than Wallace? Why not PH Pence for CJ?
-
Fuck me, they're not even going to throw it near the plate.
-
Jeez-uz, does Mills really think that CJ is a better hitter than Wallace? Why not PH Pence for CJ?
He clearly is right now.
-
Aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh.
-
Unbelievable.
-
Yep. We're down that far.
Hunter takes us juuuust a bit lower.
-
Unbelievable.
Unfortunately, it's all too believable.

The word you're looking for is "predictable".

Combo shot. Ouch.
-
Ever since JD said that it was important keep a clean sheet tonight, the D has gone downhill.
-
Three wheels on my wagon...
-
Agent Corporan?
-
Fuckity fuck fuck.
-
Al-tu-ve! Al-tu-ve! Al-tu-ve!
-
Little Big Man is my hero.
-
They should have pinch hit for Altuve.
-
GREAT baserunning by bourn.
i love altuve.
-
Molina sure made a heck of an effort to stop that throw. What a dick.
-
where's larussa's stupid glasses.
since when has a player not been able to score on an errant throw.
-
It turns here. Wild Card here we come!
Why do you ask if I've been drinking?
-
Altuve is now hitting .423, but still really lacking in the runs created category.
-

The question isn't really what, but how much...
-
Altuve is ... really lacking in the runs created category.
It's a whole team problem.

We don't ever do anything nice, and easy...

Does anyone really believe the Astros win this game?

Go go gadget bullpen!

Not really.

Why pitch to Albert?
-
Ok, so I just tuned in for the first time. 9th inning, 2 outs, 2 on, up 2, Pujols up. Perfect.
-
Why pitch to Albert?
It's quicker.
-

SFN.

"Ballgame."
-
Wow!
-
Why pitch to Albert?
Because Holliday beat the shit out of the ball twice tonight.
-
That's why I don't manage
-
Fuck you, smug ass bitch.
-
Inconceivable!
-
Beautiful job on Pooholes by Melancon.
-
First win in a week? It would be sweet to get a split with these bastards tomorrow.
-

Walk him too

That was when I flipped back to it as well. What a great win. 62 more of these and RFTL is mine!!!! It carries over into next year, right?

Let's see: 10 more this year, 50 next year, I think you're going to need to carry over to 2013.

You fuckers owe me for last night's win: I went out on a limb and predicted earlier in this thread that we'd lose the game even when we were winning early.
