irritating game. fukudome has looked bad for the last 3 or 4 games.

Man, the Astros almost blew that game. Oswalt would have bulldozed his barn into a heap.

It's too bad we couldn't have gotten Oswalt out a inning or two early today and got into the bullpen by the 6/7th. Either way get a W tomorrow and walk away with a winning home stand and back to .500. However bad a team is you can't expect to sweep them, but you can expect a series win so hopefully we can win tomorrow.

Liner off his shoulder. Report is that he's fine, just a bruise.

So what happened to Gorzo anyway?

Line drive off his upper arm. Painful, but they didn't find any real damage

What a non frustrating loss. When your starter leaves in the 3rd and Oswalt is starting, almost coming back late isn't that irritating.

Pretty much, this is the first loss of the year where I really felt indifferent about.

Only 6 pages for a Saturday afternoon game? Geez.

Scoreless games like that always make me think back to a Cubs-Phillies game back in like 1991 or 1992 where the final score was 1-0 after 18 innings of play. Nothing really significant about that game other than it's the first game I remember going scoreless for that long.

That we lost even.

Board has been dead all day.

I was listening to the Score afterwards and they bleeped out "dick." Did he really say that word or is the filter here disguising it? I really didn't think "dick" was considered a swear word or anything really serious.
