Nope, but WAS is only in their second set of ABs for the game (i.e. B2).  Give 'em time...

OK, maybe not.  End 2: HOU 0, WAS 0

I thought the same thing, both about CJ and about Gio, because I've seen Gio pitch on TV several times. In my view, that's a new pitch that he's now featuring because I don't recall that pitch from years past.

Astros get 4 picks in the top 100 of the draft. Would be great to hit it right on three if them.

He had that every time I've seen him go, but that changeup he showed to CJ was new, developed over the off-season.

He had that every time I've seen him go, but that changeup he showed to CJ was new, developed over the off-season.

He's the real deal.

The only way he's going to win a Gold Glove is if he hits .340 with 30 homers for a few years.

Who pinch hits for Wandy, here? Who would Mills call to pinch hit? I say if there's two out and no one on base for Wandy, keep him oiut there. He's still in the 80's pitch count wise, so he's okay.

Come on, Carlos. Nice way to dig yourself into a hole 0-2. But he does nothing.

Lidge is only hitting 90 tonight on the heater. That's not much differential with his slider, which is about 82.

You'd think that on the one day NASA parades the fucking space shuttle around Washington half the morning, the Astros would actually be able to win a baseball game there.

Gonna to be a long season.

Not that I want remy to be on the receiving end of that (as I don't)... but...  there are a number of folks on the interwebs that I would REALLY like to stab, and'd certainly appreciate seeing a proven method of how such a thing'd be accomplished...  You'd really be doing a service to all of us (again, not stabbing remy, rather just teachin' us how stabbing via the internet could actually be pulled off...), and I trust you to have the requisite skills to actually pull such a thing off!
