Given Houston's terrible offense, how is Everett playing over Burke?

[Shampoo4U]

These Astros are not going anywhere.

Thank you for that bit of info. Bill.

[Shampoo4U]

Packers up 24-10, what do you know.

[jloos19]

Yost finally utilizes the double switch when it's necessary. It's about time.

[endaround]

Is Shouse unavailable?

[strawbossisevil]

Interesting move, bringing in Cordero with two outs in the 8th right after Capellan gets out two hitters.

[Shampoo4U]

The Brewers are going to get their moneys worth out of CoCo.

[burrolover]

Too much Coco?

[PeaveyFury]

This Houston team is going to be pretty horrible after Clemens and Pettitte leave/retire.

[endaround]

Pettite is already pretty terrible.

 

Really don't understand brining in Coco here over Shouse.

[PeaveyFury]

I do understand going to your best reliever here, but you have to wonder if Shouse was a better choice, assuming he's available, of course.

[PeaveyFury]

Pettite is already pretty terrible.

 

.....yet still better than their potential replacements for him.

[augie46]

How about letting Capellan get one more out? We are putting ourselves in a position where we don't have a closer tomorrow.

 

I have a bad feeling about the 9th.

[Shampoo4U]

I swear someone should give Bill a managers uniform.

[mikevan1818]

So, anyone else think this is a pretty decent time for Princes first Grand Slam?

[mikevan1818]

How many different time have we had the bases loaded today?

[endaround]

Maybe Bill and Darron wills oon learn that this is happening because Mench can't hit righties.

[Shampoo4U]

Everything is HUGE to Darron.

[hawing]

I'll pay Luke Scott to leave Milwaukee tonight.

 

Edit: I am not kidding.

[PeaveyFury]

Man alive Mench...

[Shampoo4U]

There is a start. You can't do anything about that according to Bill. Don't worry about the runner-- the guy at the plate is what matters.

[Shampoo4U]

Set up the Double Play.

The Astros have three players in Berkman, Ensberg, and Oswalt. (Biggio is near the end). The rest is old and bad, save for maybe Burke. And Oswalt wanst a big payday or to get out. Its hard to see what their plan is, and its hard to see Clemans coming back to a team with little shot at the playoffs.

[Shampoo4U]

Ball Game.

Cordero = Jesus
