[Bergy92]

end of the 1st - and the cheers ring out in Floriday & Philli...

[Bergy92]

question: What is the CUB thing to do right after getting 3 runs of support?

 

Answer: Walk the leadoff guy

[Chris]

Ok Glendon, don't let Wandy help his own cause

[Chris]

No runs score, but Glendon throws 29 pitches that inning (43 for the game)

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

wow, the astros are playing like garbage. 8)

[Chris]

They fear DLee and Murton

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

That 11 pitch AB just put Glendon at 60 pitches. I'm calling a Rich Hill sighting today.

Astros...Ron & Pat are talking about them going from 15 under to 15 over in one year. That's amazing. Didn't they do something like that last year as well?

Yep. They started 15-30 this year, and lost their first 21 of 23 on the road.

They were 4 games under .500 on August 14th last year (56-60) and went 36-10 to end the season.

the antithesis of the white sox this year.

Macias with the stellar D at 2B. :roll:

Geez, I remember thinking that there was no way Nomar was coming back this year. Yet, here he is, playing well and starting at 3rd base, a position he hasn't played since high school. The dude's a team player. Of course he is a FA next year so that probably has something to do with it as well. Still, I'm impressed.

that's the first play i've seen murton dog it.

[Too Tall]

that's the first play i've seen murton dog it.

He's just trying to get that "veteran" status.

He's learning from the wily vets, Neifi and Macias.
