9/11/05 Astros (Oswalt) @ Brewers (Helling) 1:05 CST

[WV Brew]

billy is hot today

 

The Astros announcers were highly critical that Hall dogged it on the bloop to center. He maybe could have got to 2nd if he was hustling.

[strawbossisevil]

Have yourself a day Rickie Weeks!

[markwitx]

Ricky with a deep single to center?

[JoeH33]

Rickie really seems to be turning it around so far this month.

[mothershipconnection]

Who in the world is this guy, and what has he done with Rick Helling?

 

09/09/2005: 11 wins to 81. Don't stop believing.

Obviously, that gets my nod for best brewerfan.net tagline.

[markwitx]

Washington and Florida are losing and the Mets and Philly are winning

[WV Brew]

Squeeze with Moeller?

 

Props to me. I guessed it.

[ja002h]

Moeller squeezes!!

[tomwopat]

"the squeeze is on, and it's perfect..." (dead air)

 

1340, I love you.

[Vgmastr]

Dead air on XM too, so it must be a problem with the broadcast itself.

[WV Brew]

The squeeze worked followed by a Helling strikeout.

[ja002h]

Dead air on XM too, so it must be a problem with the broadcast itself.

 

Yeah, Madison died too.

[JoeH33]

Alright Chad that'll work. 4-0 Crew

[markwitx]

moeller sac fly 4-0!

[WV Brew]

One more runner and let's get out the hook. Eveland warming up.

[JET15]

Lead off walk... don't push your luck, Ned. Have you forgotten who you've got out there?

[DuWayne Steurer]

So, we beat Clemens, put up a decent fight against Pettite, and are well on the way to beating Oswalt.

 

Is a certain sportswriter with initials DO still going to claim this team has no guts?

[slack00]

Why wouldn't they pinch hit for Helling with a man on 3rd? The Astros can get hot and any insurance run will be helpful, and they have enough hitters on the bench and pitchers in the pen. I just don't understand that. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

[JET15]

Lead off walk... don't push your luck, Ned. Have you forgotten who you've got out there?

 

STRIKE THAT

 

Edit: Sorry about the double-post. My ISP is just choking today on traffic. I think it's all of the fantasy football geeks.

[strawbossisevil]

Uh oh...we don't need any more drama Helling, keep the runners off the bases.

[ja002h]

Danger, danger. Let's not let Helling implode here.

[strawbossisevil]

Oh how I wish Yost would have PH for Helling and let Wise take these innings. I can see his reasoning though, Helling has been pitching well.

 

Edit: Another big K. If he get's out of this inning, I think he has earned the "Houdini" nickname.

[ja002h]

Wow, huge K!

 

One more!!

[markwitx]

strike 3 huge K there

[ja002h]

Wow, great job Rick. Heckuva game.
