I hope they save some of the errors for tomorrow.

[weis21]

what the hell is an astro anyway?

 

short for asteroid?

[BeerHere]

does anyone else think that the astros are playing so bad today that they might be world killers tommorow.

 

Oswalt goes tomorrow.

brenly trying to make it sound like lee's lack of home run power is a good thing

 

well it certainly isn't but he's slugging well and his OBP is off the charts. I think it will come, just a long road back from a broken wrist from what i've heard. takes along time before you can regain full strength and sometimes you subconsciously favor it.

 

Problem is that he's hitting for less power as the year goes on.

[TysonCBulls423]

Looked safe to me.

[E.J.]

Can't wait to see more of that crap from Jones. :roll:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Jones grounds into a FC to Berkman. Lee out at home.

[inari]

Lee was safe.

[E.J.]

Crap. Soto hit it hard, but right to Lamb.

[BeerHere]

Waaaaohhhhhh oohhhhhh waaaoooohhhh

go Sotooooo go Sotoooooo

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Soto hits it hard, but Lamb snags it. Inning over.

 

End of 8, 6-0 Cubs.

[BeerHere]

Waaaaohhhhhh oohhhhhh waaaoooohhhh

go Sotooooo go Sotoooooo

 

doh!

I like that. Novelty value.

[TysonCBulls423]

Soto's 0-5 doesn't seem like your typical 0-5 game.

Yep, after an unsustainable April, he's been an 850 OPS guy in May/June and is sub 600 in July. He's not killing the team, but they need him to do more, and I'm not sure he can.

[TruffleShuffle]

well, soto has smoked two balls, but he's 0-for-5... a couple more oh-fers and he'll be on the next bus to des moines
