Well, my 20 pixels has only audio feed, no video.   FUN.

Then, video only, no audio.

Now they got it together.  Whew!

Listening to the Rice/U of Houston game, Rice is pouring it on.  Sorry BG.

Friggin' Reds/Mets game (3-8 in the 9th) won't end, so no EI for a bit.  Thank goodness for the ole' backup plan!

Lifetime 43-58, 4.91 might have something to do with it.

Miggy, why throw that?

If I remember correctly, most teams wanted him for the bullpen, he was holding out for a starters job.

FINALLY!  They had a 'substitution error' in the Reds/Mets game that took almost 10 minutes to figure out (1 out in the 9th).

Wigginton's was a lazy fly.  Don't recall Berkman's well enough to categorize it.

Torres in for the save opp for the Brewers against the Cards (5-2).

I've liked his ABs alot more as of late.  JR is still looking lost at the plate though.

If it puts a man on base for Berkman, its fine by me(as long as he doesn't get hurt).

By the way, wasn't there a game in '06 where the Astros got bailed out from being no hit in the 9th by Preston Wilson?

Nice pickoff/rundown there.  Chacon at 95 pitches through 6 (58/37),  Kuroda at 79 (46/33).

I don't see it as a huge surprise.  Tejada, Berkman, Lee, and Matsui need some help. There are 5 guys producing in this lineup if you count Pence and Hunter is going to struggle against a ptcher like this.  Wiggy has only 3 RBIs for the whole year. Ensberg, Burke, Everette and Ausmus always batted over .200 that I remember.

FB missed scoring two by inches, and the shot over Kemp's head in CF barely missed doing so as well.  CRAP!

DVRd back to the Berkman scoring play.  Not a whole lot of coverage in the LAD feed, but looked to be running well to home.  Couldn't tell exactly, but something looked a tad off on the slide.  Berkman caught up, put both hands on his batting helmet (seemingly with an 'oh no' expression) and then moved awkwardly for a second - then the camera panned away. 

Any comments on the Houston feed, none here?

That was a late in a spring training game this year, and everyone in the box, the dugout and in the field seemed to know he was going for an Oscar to get to sit the rest of that one out.  Game early in the season while he is of fire, not a chance.

Well, whatever you wanna call it.  Pretending the knee was "tweaked" so he could come out of the game.   He gave an interview once where he joked about it. 

I'm not criticizing him at all, I just couldn't read the tone of your first post.

Not that it means anything now, but it was about a year ago that Hunter heated it up on offense. He was hitting .229 on May 12th, then started an 8 game streak, with about 5 or 6 multi-hit games, that raised his average .120 points.

Berkman hurt himself on the slide.

Poor Brocail. 40 pitches, 2 earnies, and he can't finish.

Brocail throws a major temper tantrum in the dugout.

Went back to look at the catch again.  As amazing as the catch itself was is that he started out slightly in left center and was able to run it down.

Brocail is a red-ass in many ways, but he's our red-ass.

Wow, jeez man... I wasn't attacking you at all.  I was referring to your techniques with the kids you talked about in that thread the other day, when you mentioned that as a coach you had no tolerance for temper tantrums.

Anyway, this team is on a roll.  Absolutely never out of the ballgame lately!

That Bourn catch was so fucking great. The best I can recall for the Astros since The Whore pulled that one back over the fence.

Don't get the postgame shows on EI.  Any news on Berkman?

Bourn's last two ups were hard hit balls to LCF off LHP. He show's progress. So far, Towles is not.

Brocail's tantrum was embarrassing, imo. It may be corny, but there is no place for that in competitive athletics. If you have an anger management problem like that, go somewhere no one can see you.

Didn't see it at all on the LAD feed (I guess thankfully).

Really? He started kicking a folding chair, and when it refused to surrender, he picked it up and started smashing the bat/helmet rack with it.

It was really embarrassing, like Jim said.  I wish they wouldn't show it on tv so all the kids wouldn't see it.

Right. That's the bad thing. We can laugh at the stupidity, but kids see it and think throwing stuff is ok because the pros do it.
