Maybe there should be a competition about who can get Howard Chen to answer their question first. Of course I've only seen Howard Chen in person, never on tv.

I'm surprised he doesn't have a segment on Brenham radio.

Now, why isn't Bo PHing a righty for Krauss here? 8th inning, good chance to add to your not-huge 4-run lead, what am I missing?

You didn't have to be Nostradamus to see that 2nd-straight Krauss GIDP coming.

Isn't Hoes still on the roster? For that matter, Domingo Santana? I realize we're just talking about varying degrees of unlikely success here, but still.

This is just so fucking predictable. Is it really that hard to find a reliever who can occasionally get more outs than runs given up?

The games where we have a lead and then piss it away are hard to take, when we give up an early lead it seems to be easier to accept the fate. I going out to the shed, pick up the club hammer and find something that needs to be hit really hard a few times.
