He's not tinkering, he's feeling it. More like tinkling.

Nice interview with Bazardo pregame. Said he wasn't ready and didn't have his stuff last Saturday when he was brought in but now he has changed his routine and looks forward to pitching out of the bullpen. Seems like a good kid.

I don't know what's worse, Land Shark Lager or Jimmy Buffet.

Is Land Shark an AB product?

Lance's leg seems to be okay.

Nice five-run lead for the rookie.

Matsui is cracking under the pressure of 2000.

chuck · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2009, 06:39:58 pm »

Norris' FB is beautiful when it runs away from a LH batter. I was hoping he'd ride it in on Ramirez and get him to pop out, but I'll take a grounder to second.

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #13 on:** August 12, 2009, 06:43:14 pm »

Mr. Bourn again with a knock.

This HPU is tough too.

Very nice to see Norris work his way out of that jam.

He had to do it all himself. Blue wasn't helping at all.

Agreed. He's got good movement on his pitches tonight. He might have to rely on fooling the hitters.

only able to listen to the game tonight...
any details provided are awesomely appreciated by me

GreatBagwellsBeard · « **Reply #20 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:18:40 pm »

I'd complain about Pudge's recent slump, but then I realized that a .252 BA makes him a juggernaut compared to the recent occupants of the area behind home plate. Not to mention his other positive contributions.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #21 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:30:17 pm »

Norris loaded the bases with none out but retired the side and only one run scored. It's 6-3 Astros, top of the 4th.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:32:48 pm »

...what a lovely pirouette from Norris to invite a back smack and plie' to first.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:34:58 pm »

Hey, it's my favorite umpire... at least when he calls "Stri-yeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!"

Ron Brand · « **Reply #24 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:35:24 pm »

Bourn just bunted for a single and the bases are loaded with no outs.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #25 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:41:52 pm »

1 run scores on Miggy's groundout. 2 more in on Lee's single to CF makes it 9-3 in the 4th, one out.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #26 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:46:48 pm »

Three run shot by PENCE!!! makes it 12-3 with two out in the 4th. That oughta be enough for you, BG!

Mr. Happy · « **Reply #27 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:51:53 pm »

It's now 13-3 on an error by Ramirez (should have been on the first baseman).

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #28 on:** August 12, 2009, 08:12:59 pm »

I'm so pissed at Verizon- our land line and DSL keep going in and out, so I can't comment when I'd like. This is terribly inconvenient, but especially during an Astros game.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #29 on:** August 12, 2009, 08:47:23 pm »

Top 7:

1 out, Miggy up, and "From Now On, Your Delta Tau Chi Name Is" Pinto on the mound. 13-5 Good Guys.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #30 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:03:20 pm »

After going hitless for most of the night, Blum jacks a single homer to RF. Top 8, 14-5 Astrps, no outs.

Minor League Report from The Dell:

Bottom 6, 4-2 Express. Polin Trinidad pitching and really relying on the humid air to keep the ball in the park.

Abercrombie up with 2 on and 2 out doesn't come close and Ks.

End 6.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #33 on:** August 12, 2009, 09:09:04 pm »

Two strong by Byrdak.

4 hour game last night, long game tonight, give the guy a break sometime Coop

Kaz with a double, now has 1999 hits combined Japan and MLB. Must be a big deal in Japan based on the Japanese press coverage.

As usual, you are correct. Brydak has been a servicable pitcher. I just don't have a lot of faith in him. Of course, I don't have a lot of faith in Sampson either.
