Mabry took third base on a wild pitch Edited June 14, 2006 by Fred Hornkohl

[texascub]

Mabry moves to 3rd on a WP.

[cheapseats]

Remember last year when we rallied against Lidge?

[texascub]

Well I'll be...Pierre with an RBI single into RF.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre singled to right field, Mabry scored

[Flames24Rulz]

Nice meaningless RBI, Pierre.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Wow....Pierre ripped that. If only he could do that all the time.

[texascub]

Remember last year when we rallied against Lidge?

 

I don't see that happening tonight; we've got 7 more runs to tie and no outs to work with.

[Laura]

I wonder if at this point Dusty has given up on this team? He leaves Marshall in while he's getting pounded pretty good, he continually puts out mediocre lineups then double switches to make them worse, and in this inning he lets Ohman become the Astros' BP pitcher...maybe he's trying to get fired.

 

I thought that Dusty wanted to leave way back in '03 when he put Lenny Harris in the leadoff spot.

 

But now I believe he just thinks his way is the right way.

[cheapseats]

Nice meaningless RBI, Pierre.

 

Haha.

 

Pierre, Arod, and Dunn would be the cornerstones of the non-clutch team.

 

Latroy Hawkins would be the closer.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

.588 OPS for Pierre after his 2 hit day!!!!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Perez lined a single to right field, Pierre to second

[texascub]

Liner into RF by Neifi, Pierre to 2nd.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

The Neifinator!!!!

And that's the scary part.

[cheapseats]

NEIFI IS OUR SAVIOR!

[texascub]

WP, Pierre to 3rd.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre took third base on a passed ball

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Neifi couldn't move up on that???

[texascub]

Barrett grounds to 2nd, game over.
