Astros Baseball Talk

[logan82]

Crap, Patterson got a hit.

 

and got picked off. Nice.

[stalton]

Prince with the WALK!!!

[logan82]

That music(just before God Bless America) sounded kind of like the Super Mario Brothers music when you complete a castle.

[Schlitz001]

Nice to see Gallardo end his season on a high note.

[davego]

Jody is really making a play for 2010.

[sdcheezhd]

Need to keep it going so Jody can get his triple.

[davego]

Jeff Blum would seem due. It's what he has done to the 'Crew all year.

[davego]

Nice weekend for the 'Crew. The drive for .500 is alive.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Gerut is really heating up. He would really give us a nice option for 2010.

 

That Prince crush was huge...great to see Coop come up and give him the handshake pre-game.

[fallingleaves]

It would be nice to see the team finish over 500. I think this is going to be Coop's last year managing the Astros sadly.

[owbc]

Yes, they have been playing the Mario music occasionally after the Brewers complete an inning. I think it is hilarious.

[brewmann04]

nice #13 for yo and his 200 k's here to a better season next year

[hawing]

Well, I enjoyed the game. Barely 30,000 fans "paid to see it" and around us there seemed to be more interest in the Packer game than anything else.

Still, there were people (besides the S.O. and me) who kept count of Yovani's Ks (even if his milestone K was vs. the pitcher) and Prince's walk. When the 200th K was recorded, I did wonder if anyone here would be posting to taking Yo out of the game.

 

I found it mildly gratifying that Robb Edwards apparently heeded my suggestion of earlier this month, that he never again introduce Corey Patterson in the same enthusiastic way that he introduces Corey Hart. I'm glad the game was reasonably in hand by the time C-Pat was caught stealing, else I would have felt worse being happy about the out.

 

Today's game will be a 'happy place' for me to visit, should the Brewers get their shirts handed to them by the Phillies next Saturday and/or Sunday.

[bjkrautk]

As someone who gets tickets to all the bobblehead days, this wasn't a bad one to go out on.

- Gallardo's last start, plus the chance to applaud him coming off the field after his 200 and 201st strikeout.

- A shutout win.

- Prince being honored before the game for the RBI record, with Coop coming out of the Houston dugout to congratulate him.

- A titanic bomb (455') of a homer by the big man.

 

Had the Packer game in one ear for most of the game....and I could see a replay of any of the big plays, since my family could see into the press box from our seats. It felt good to know I was watching the right game.

[bucks2281]

It felt good to know I was watching the right game.

 

As somebody who got rid of his tickets for this game to go to the Packer game, I concur.

 

.500...let's do this, Brewers!

People on my right kept looking in my direction during the game. After a few double takes I realized they were looking past me at the press box TVs, which were showing the Packers. So, bjkrautk, how close to 217 do you sit? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Not a season ticket holder, so my family jumps from area to area with each individual game. We were in 215 yesterday, 19 rows up. The TV with the Packer game on was on the other side of the aisle; close enough to see all the players and even jersey numbers, but not close enough to see the score.
