First pitch was at 7:05, but someone forgot to tell Roy.

As ugly as that was, it's still better than watching the Black Eyed Peas on the NFL kickoff show.

The Oswalt Inning came early tonight.

Thanks for the warning about the Black-Eyed Peas. I think I'll wait until 7:40 or so before looking at the football game.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Fuck the titans. I'd rather root for the fucking Steelers tonight.  The hate is that strong.

C'mon Roy!

Footer was still pretty concerned about his back in the pre-game.  Might be time to shut it down.  Throwing BP during the game isn't helping anyone.

Seriously, no need for him to be in there.  He's got nothing and suddenly coop has a slow trigger?

Who will Roy blast tonight? Oh, yeah. His back hurts.

The Wizard was off. Now we're down 6-1 with Billy Sadler into pitch.

71 pitches for Oswalt in two innings?!? Wow.

Is that Ed Asner in the 2nd row behind home plate in the Astros cap?

The trainers need to step up.  Drayton's still paying them.

Nice BMW "is responsible" commercial using compact florescent light-bulbs as an example... and then using a thousand of them to light up their cars in the background!  Yes, quite responsible BMW

From Tags recap at astros.com:

Quote
By Brian McTaggart / MLB.com

Lance Berkman ended a 32-game homerless drought with a three-run shot in the third inning, but the Astros were in too big a whole for it to make a difference. Starter Roy Oswalt took the loss, exiting after two frames having yielded six runs on 10 hits.

He's just saying the Astros are functioning as too much of a whole right now, taking this team concept too seriously. They need to focus more on the parts if they want to win more games.
