No sir. Like I've been saying I have no idea how good Mills' Astros teams are going to be but I am quite sure that managerial slapdickery will be held to a bare minimum.

Good grief the bottom half of this order is weak.  I sure don't remember Manzella getting five hits.

Hill: cs, ball away, ball away, cs outside corner, ball just inside (3-2), fly to deep cetner just over Bourns head, 1-hops to the wall and Hill in for a triple.  1 out, runner at 3B.

Silva (infielders in at the corners): doubles into right center on the 0-2 pitch, runner scores... First hit since June '06... HOU 0, FTC 1. 1 out, runner on 2B.

Theriot: weak grounder to Paulino, runner holds at 2B, toss to 1B in time.  2 outs, runner on 2B.

Stiff front leg, not bending his back.  He's gonna lose "bite" on the slider and everything is going to be up.  Arnsberg needs to say something to him.

Hilarity in the outfield at Wrigley! Nice work, Fuckyoudome.

Those were two brutal plays.

Back-to-back errors on Fukudome give the Astros the tie, then CJ gets driven home by Manzella.

Happy Birthday, kid.

Actually Matsui was in the lineup yesterday instead of Manzella with Keppinger at SS.

And Matsui was batting in front of Johnson.  Still can't figure that one out...

Acutally, I think Byrd gets the first error, even though Fukudome ran him over.

Much.  When Paulino is below the waiste, he's tough.  He gets it up...not so much.  Watch his back and arm on the slider.  When his arm nearly drags the ground, the slider is tight and low.  Gets a lot of ground balls.  If he's stiff, it spins and he leaves it up...lots of balls in the air.

Well, it hit Byrd in the glove.  Fukudome then ran him over.  Tough break, but I think that's the right scoring.

For those not watching, notice how Paulino threw over twice before that last pitch to Lee?  That means he was going to throw the slider.

Nice play by Bourn.  Really looked like he might miss that one.

Hey everybody!  Through a combination of bad luck, denial league, day games, and other commitments, I haven't been able to see a single inning of a game until now.  I haven't missed anything, apparently.

Q called both throw overs to try to make Fukudome take a step closer back to 1B.  Don't know if Lee knew what was going on, but if he was a catcher, he would.

The logic here is that if Q knew a fastball was coming, he wouldn't care about Fukudome's lead so much, but since he knew it was a slower/harder-to-handle slider, he wanted to push him back?

Yes, but even if the throw was on target the play would've been very close and Johnson still has to get the tag down. JD was right. Q should've taken a couple steps up towards Soriano to get him in a rundown.

No, go back and watch it again. Soriano had a perfect throw beat.

A good throw gets him at 3B.

You're wrong about this, dude. Even with two plus arms, Q and Manzella, once Q threw to the base behind Soriano he was off for third and he would have beaten a perfect throw. Had Q made Soriano commit to one base or another a routine throw would have got him.

I agree. On the other hand, on further review I think HH is right that a good throw from Manzella could have nailed Soriano. My problem is that Q made the play harder than it needed to be.

Nope.  A good throw to 3B gets him.  If Q hesitates, Soriano gets back to 2B easily.  Not that that would have been the end of the world, but he did nothing wrong.  You don't double clutch throwing to bases like that.  If you're gonna take a shot, you take a shot.  It doesn't matter anyway, as the hitter walked to load the bases.

It mattered. He should've been out. But that play pales in comparison to the Feliz clunderthunk.

I mean if Q doesn't throw down or hesistates.  Soriano is still at 2B and the walk still sends him to 3B.  Obviously if they get an out, it changes things.

He was clearly tiring.  He lost 5 or 6 mph off his fastball and his slider was spinning and backing up.

It wasn't a boneheaded play by either Q or Manzella.  I don't fault either one of them.  Just the breaks.

Yeah, that Feliz play was terrible. I don't understand what he was thinking because he had no chance of getting the runner at home and had to hurry to field the ball and get the tag on Theriot. Why not just wait and see if the ball rolls foul?

the worst thing about that play, and this game in general, is that of all the weaknesses of this team, defense is not supposed to be one of them.  i mean, of all the ways for this game to fly off the handle.

It's April 16th, and the wife and her accounting friends are drunk and naked in my hot tub.  Perspective.

And you're in Midland.

Oh, please. Defense did not lose the game. The pitcher got tired, and the offense is anemic.

it didn't lose the game, but that was the play where the game got out of hand.  if Q makes the play on soriano or feliz lets the ball go foul (even if he tagged theriot and got the out), the 'stros are at least still in the game going to the 9th.  not saying they win, but they'd still have a chance.

On the bright side, at least Kabong put some good swings on the ball today and Berkman is heading to RR for two rehab starts this weekend.

You don't know what's gonna happen.  Both plays could have made some difference, but you don't know that.  Even after that you have a chance to keep the game close.  You got six hits and scored two runs.  That's simply not gonna get it done.
