Astros are just ripping the cover off of the baseball.
Snell had a 5.99 ERA entering this one. |

Rain delay. What a miserable place to play...Pittsburgh. Nice ball park though....needed a roof!

I'm afraid that if you keep starting, we won't ave any more games! :)
"Berkman in the last two games: 9 for 10, 1 HR, 4 doubles, 6 runs, 5 RBIs. For good hitters, that's a week. For some players, that's two weeks.
For Ausmus, that's two months." - Bob Hulsey

rain delay. 3-1 stros in the 6, 1 out, man on second for the pirates.
45 minutes until they can call the game, even though it's already official. night. |

It is a shame that the Astros have to go through this crap (rain) in cities that have no regard for their fans or the other teams. Pisssburg comes to Houston
and can always depend on playing the game without losing several pitchers due to rain delays. Pissburgh needs a roof in the worst way. There should be some
type of consequence for causing the hardship to the other team.
Did I say Pissburh is a crap city to play baseball in? 
Full Speed Ahead! Fire At Will!

I can see there are now about 22 fans watching the game and 10 of them are Houston fans. The only people going for foul ball are the ushers.
Full Speed Ahead! Fire At Will!

LMAO @ this team. Sir Issac Newon on the Astros "what can go wrong, will go wrong." This team will lose 90 games. Why even bother bringing in
Valverde? Cecil Cooper still managing like it matters. LOL. Cooper would be better off just resigning. He's got nothing to work with and it's not
like if he did, he would know what to do.

Top of the 9th Astros down a run, the first two hitters, go 2 outs on two pitches. That is the Houston Astros season in an inning.

Then, on the very next pitch, Tejada grounds back to the pitcher (no surprise). Zach, you should've described the rest of the inning, because that was the Houston Astros season in an inning, with a couple of minor surprises along the way. Of course, you've also got the bottom of the 8th inning when Brocail just served up the lead, when with 2 outs (after getting Bay and Nady), he gave up a HR to LaRoche; HBPs Bautista; gives up a single to pinch hitter, Mientkiewicz; a BB to Wilson; and then a full count 2-run single to McLouth. The Pirates didn't win this game. It was handed to them by Brocail. It really shows how much between a rock and a hard place Cooper is, after pulling Brocail the other night in Atlanta. Tonight, he leaves Brocail out there, and he blows it. While I'm not impressed at all with Coop, tonight shows that he's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. |
