The Astros will try to go for five in a row with this lineup tonight vs. the Cardinals:

Piranha 4
Bogusevic 9
Martinez 7
Lee 3
Lowrie 6
Johnson 5
Maxwell 8 (this is probably because Garcia is a lefty)
Castro 2
Norris 1

The Dipshits counter with:

Furcal 6
Jay 8
Holliday 7
Traitor 9
Freese 5
Neck Tat 2
Descalso 4
Carpenter 3
Garcia 1

If you're going the nickname route, we call their leadoff guy Fecal in this house. Just sayin'.

Noe · « **Reply #2 on:** May 05, 2012, 05:32:56 pm »

How appropriate to have a guy named "Descalso" playing on the fifth of May. "Descalso" in spanish means "barefoot". I guess in honor of barefooted peasants everywhere!

jbm · « **Reply #3 on:** May 05, 2012, 06:17:50 pm »

Lots of hard-hit balls, another CJ miscue, but only give up one run. Could have been way worse.

believin · « **Reply #4 on:** May 05, 2012, 06:34:17 pm »

Bottom 1st - Garcia loads the bases via 3 walks, the CJ gets a grand slam.

No, he's not. He's a nice guy. I knew him years ago when he was pitching for the New Orleans Zephyrs. He's got a sense of humor, but he's just inexperienced in this role. And it really hurts to have to follow JD, who's in a league of his own. He's no 85-94 color man by any stretch.

They were looking strong with wins in five of six games and then went out and lost two straight to the Astros. That's an automatic deduction, like spelling your name incorrectly on the SATs. By the way, has anyone ever actually confirmed that's true? Who can't spell his/her own name? I bet it's even easy for Kirk Nieuwenhuis.
