We Know What We Have To Do
« on: May 02, 2007, 08:48:14 am »
Over the last 10 games:

Games played immediately after Hunter Pence called up - 1-0 (1.000)
Games played not immediately after Hunter Pence called up - 0-9 (0.000)

Send him down.  Call him up.  It's the only thing proven to work.

Stros have averaged 2.33 runs per game in those 9 losses.  So, if they can convince Clemens AND Gibson AND Koufax AND Mathewson to come back this season, I'm printing playoff tickets.

Further congrats to the boys on the field...only the Nats, Royals, and Rangers are worse than you now.  Huzzah!

Or let Loretta play 3rd everyday and bat in the 2 hole!
Oh God, I wish I was a loofah!

Oh.
But I like your idea of calling Pence up and sending him back down every so often.  2 hole, up and down, this is starting to sound like a porno.
Oh God, I wish I was a loofah!

maybe it is not just the pence factor. maybe it would work with any aaa player. just leave a blank in the line up and who  shows up that day from round rock would play. or just call up the whole round rock team and send the astros down. at this point i dont see how it could be worse
forever is composed entirely of nows

Oh, I don't know.  I don't care if it's major league players losing 11-2 or AAA players losing 11-2.
