Winn (5 for 9 in the series) ground out weak to Berkman after 10 pitches

Lurch · « **Reply #2 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:11:29 pm »

Lewis walks on 5 pitches, most rather far outside

Lurch, who'd you used to be? I recognize the avatar.

Lurch · « **Reply #4 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:15:29 pm »

Roy concerned about speedy Lewis on 1st. Throws high heat to Klesko to get ahead in the count then works low corners. 6-3 double play on 7 pitches.

Lincecum pitching. Drink everytime he is compared to Roy this evening. Bidge quickly down swinging on sinking two seamer.

Berkman not impressed with Cy Lincecum. Hard liner over short for a single.

Lee skys out to Lewis RF, stranding Lance at 1st (at least he doesnt have to walk back to the dugout)

otterjb · « **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:23:03 pm »

Nice liner to left from the Vending Machine. Lincecum, the baby-faced assassin. Hopefully this'll turn out to be one of his rookie year off-days.

Ty in Tampa · « **Reply #15 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:23:19 pm »

Lurch · « **Reply #16 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:25:21 pm »

Luke cant figure out why the fans chant his name whenever Bonds comes to bat, but tips his hat nonetheless.

HGH owns Roy, 4 for 4 and 4 walks. Infield shift, so HGH pops up to 3b Lamb at SS. (ownership is overrated)

Lurch · « **Reply #17 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:27:01 pm »

Ray Durham makes Drayton uncomfortable. No match for a low and in slider for K #1.

Lurch · « **Reply #18 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:28:27 pm »

Molina. Weak ground to 1B (another drinking game tonight, as if you need an excuse.)

JD - Roy's command is "less than steller so far" but willing to throw curve more often early on.

It's been bugging me since his debut against Cole Hamels, but I finally figured out who Lincecum looks like.

Johnny, the crackhead from The Wire who ran with Bubbles.

ETA: JD says he looks like Ferris Bueller's buddy Cameron.

Lurch · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:32:14 pm »

Scott wonders why the kid that threw out the first pitch tonight is still on the mound.

High strike zone for the kid. Sweet looping curve. K on an outside fastball (96)

Ty in Tampa · « **Reply #23 on:** May 17, 2007, 07:33:03 pm »

But can Lincecum hit? Bats LH. His dad must be proud. He actually has a pretty good swing. Roy still struggling with control, but lays a nice low fastball in on the outside corner for a K.

Bidge is due for an elbow plunking isnt he?

K on a looping curve down the middle. Guess not.

I don't think that counts.

I don't remember who it was, but in the 80s, some PBP guy would let the fans at home know about the no-hitter going on by saying "middle column" as they went to commercial. I wish I could remember who that was.

It'll be interesting to see if Roy gets any love for the effort tonight. Hamels took it one out further last night and they treated it like Don Larsen.

This is not at all directed at LonghornLCDR but it is my distinct impression that Houstonians and Astros fans in particular spend far too much time worrying about what people in NY and Boston think about us.

Who gives a shit about whether the Astros are picked to win the division or if Roy O is one of the top 5 pitchers in MLB?

Lamb threw the double play ball to Luke, who tried to throw that ball back to Lamb, but bounced it passed Lamb (who had a fair chance to stop it) so the the runner who started from first towards a certain inning ending double play, scored.
