[Careless]

steal home on the IBB

missed their chance

[Chris]

The kid in the red shirt behind home plate is funny

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Woa, didn't notice AJP is out of the game.

[sethuel1]

I wish it wasn't so easy to get Ensberg out.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

HOW DO YOU MISS THAT PITCH, ENSBERG!!! :x

[Careless]

Well, you know the inning is over when ensberg blows hitting strike 2

[Chris]

Somebody tell Tim it's "Duque", not "Dookie"

[Andy]

If it comes down to the pens in extras, the Sox have the advantage...ugh

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Haha, saw that coming from a mile away.

[Chris]

worked, free baseball

[Andy]

Somebody tell me what the phenomenon is of average players signing with the Sox and having great years. Dye, Everett, Pierzynski, El Duque and probably more I am not thinking of.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

By the way, I'm shocked that they didn't squeeze with Taveras.

Dye just stayed healthy, El Duque was very average, Everett was aswell, and Pierzynski batted well below his career average.

[wekse]

hell, if i'm biggio i take a hack at that 3-0 pitch just so he has to pitch to me

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Leadoff with Lidge? I don't think there's that much quality on the Astros bench anyways and this is a must-win game for them.

[Andy]

Talk about bouncing back, what a great 1 1/3 innings by Lidge. Hope he is done though, don't want to exhaust him.

[Careless]

ha, nice try to dive into that

[Andy]

I would think about bunting here unless Lane has proven himself completely inept at it.

El duque had a 5.12 ERA for the season, averaging 5 1/3 innings per start. Estesesque

And a .746 OPS for everett.

I think his performance in Game 3 of the ALDS has obscured that for some. I would have kept McCarthy on the roster over El Duque.

[Brian]

regardless of outcome... what a game!!

[Andy]

I disagree, this is only a good game if the Stros win. :wink:

[Chris]

That made sense

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The Astros are pathetic on offense. You could say Cub-like. Edited October 26, 2005 by CaliforniaRaisin

[Andy]

Why are we calling it a mistake? Looked like a designed hit and run to me...you're a real genius McCarver.
