Jay leads off w/ an infield single.
mike_o - September 28, 2011
First two guys on with singles.
Bravos up 3-1 on the Sillies.
jello44 - September 28, 2011
Michael Bourn in Braves game
sinfgled his first two at bats; stole second both times; tried to steal third ; was called out on a close, highly disputed call .
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Bad start for Jimmy Paredes
Two singles his way to start the game
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Paredes looks rusty at 3B.
Tried to slide and nab that bouncer, and whiffed. Two on for Pujols.
mike_o - September 28, 2011
Paredes misses an out on the second straight ball hit to him. 2 on and no outs.
I hope that we don’t see the Cardinals with a celebration in MMP today.
clack - September 28, 2011
Cards 1-0, no outs.
Pujols with a vicious swing.
clack - September 28, 2011
And right away, you can tell the difference defensively in LF.
J.D. knows to just play the ball off of the scoreboard.
mike_o - September 28, 2011
He should be better
He’s played it enough
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Pujols hitting tonight
Singled off left field wall
Run scored
Cardinals ahead 1-0 in the top of the first

Got something in your throat, Myers?
That’s 4 in a row now…
mike_o - September 28, 2011
RBI single Lance Berkman
Still no outs
This is about as bad a start as we could have seen.
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Way to go MYERS!
StrosSouth - September 28, 2011
3-0 on five straight hits!
This one by Freese off the deep part of the left field wall for a double
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Freese doubles in a run. 3-0.
jello44 - September 28, 2011

dribbler to Paredes
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Is.. is that an out? Yay!
jello44 - September 28, 2011
4-0
Infield single off Myers glove
Berkman scored
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Looks like Myes is picking up his game
He does not look as tentative as he did on the first 6 batters
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Astros put themselves in a hole, allowing the two infield singles to third base to begin the game. Then the meat grinder part of the batting order came up with no outs and runners on base.
clack - September 28, 2011
My mistake
After about a three minue at bat -Punto singled
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Brett Myers
Has checked out…
Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
Wow, Myers...
mike_o - September 28, 2011

Single to left -Punto
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Nice bunting there Carp.
jello44 - September 28, 2011
That was absolutely pathetic...
mike_o - September 28, 2011
Well, it’s bad when all of the tension has been taken out of the game after the top of the 1st.
clack - September 28, 2011
I wonder when Chris Carpenter last gave up six runs
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Following MLB Gamecast...
and can’t believe all these infield singles…deflections of gloves – crappy way to begin the game…oh well, still got 9 innings to chip away…
Go STROS!

SeoulStro - September 28, 2011
Shuck shoud not be in center for this game
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
yes.
clack - September 28, 2011
Is Schafer hurt?
Or is this Mills’ idea of ‘looking at guys’ for spring training?
mike_o - September 28, 2011
I assume the latter. I haven’t heard of any injury to Schafer.
clack - September 28, 2011
maybe he’s hanging out with Wallace too much
Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
Astros giving Myers about four minutes to regroup fior the second inning
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Guess Myers feels since he started the season with a loss he'll end the season with one too
StrosSouth - September 28, 2011
we'll pin that opening day loss on Lyon...
remember Myers went toe-to-toe with doc that first game and Lyon blew that game in the 9th…All downhill from there!
SeoulStro - September 28, 2011
No more Mr. NiceGuy towards Myers.
StrosSouth - September 28, 2011
well we have ed to thank that he will be around for another year
wdh001 - September 28, 2011 via mobile
I was wondering this afternoon since this is the final Astros game of the 2011 season
if the game would bwe emblematic of the 2011 season
or if it would set an optimistic tone for the 2012 season
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Thank you, Allen Craig?
That was a hittable pitch…
mike_o - September 28, 2011
well
I turned on the game yesterday when we were up 5-0 maybe we can come back tonight. Oh wait myers is pitching and Carlos lee is our cleanup hitter.
wdh001 - September 28, 2011 via mobile
Lol, just about the same

Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
I'm watching game on ESPN2
ESPN commentators remarkably well-prepared to call this game
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
who's calling it?
Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
Don't know their names
I’ll listen for them
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Doug Glanville is the ex-ballplayer color commentator
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
I haven’t heard him do broadcast, but I have read some of his writing. He is a good, intelligent baseball guy.
clack - September 28, 2011
He wrote a book
The Game from Where I Stand – A Ballplayer’s Inside View
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Took me forever to find but the ESPN broadcasters are
St. Louis/Houston – Mark Neely, Doug Glanville.
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
After my Chem lab which lasted nearly 3 hours after school, I came home and made burgers
Then I turned on the TV and found exactly what my gut feeling told me. Well not exactly, but we’re losing. I think this game specifically nails in the last board on the season which all-around just sucked
BustaPozee - September 28, 2011
How much money do you guys think ed wade will throw at Ryan Madson in free agency?
wdh001 - September 28, 2011 via mobile

Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
lol im not the only one thinking it
wdh001 - September 28, 2011 via mobile
7 years, $142 million.
mike_o - September 28, 2011
maybe for Rollins
Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
If Carl Crawford can get that money...
I suppose Jimmy can as well.
mike_o - September 28, 2011
Wade isn’t going to have much money to play with. He will be buying at the dollar store.

Molina fits that description more, imo.

Negative
Carpenter has such an ego he’ll yell at a guy that gets mad at himself for not hitting a ball that Carpenter threw….

Carp is an A-hole. Do you remember the game last year when Carpenter was yelling and screaming at Carlos Lee? That’s the only time I’ve seen Lee shed that happy go lucky demeanor.

This is where the Cards hurt the Astros
last night, let’s see if the stros can return the favor.
Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
that's a big negatory
Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
Anyway
Spring training should be interesting. Position battles and starters fighting for rotation spots. And the return of JASON CASTRO. No more Towles or Corporan
wdh001 - September 28, 2011 via mobile
unless they decide not to resign Q because he’s out of their price range
Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
Id like for Q to stay one more season and then get rid of him if and when C-Walls is ready
StrosSouth - September 28, 2011
Agree, I’d like another year of Q.
jmike - September 28, 2011
I think he should work with Bud like chavez did with oswalt
wdh001 - September 28, 2011 via mobile
True dat!
Between Bourgeois and Schaffer, Martinez and Wallace, Paredes and Johnson, Altuve and Downs, and Harrell Lyles Sosa Happ Myers Cedeno An Rod and all the rest, it should be interesting
Its Gonna Happen - September 28, 2011 via mobile
Bourn
would have caught that
jmike - September 28, 2011
Another hit to deep center that probably would have been caught by
Shcafer
or Bourgeois
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
Or Durango
BustaPozee - September 28, 2011
ooh....
Forgot about Durango. He knows how to walk…

BustaPozee - September 28, 2011
apparently I don't have a concept of time
Timothy De Block - September 28, 2011
Welcome to the reality of having a JOB there Carlos
StrosSouth - September 28, 2011
Carlos Lee is getting 18.5 mil next season
The greater Houston area population is by all accounts between 5-6 million. Lets round that down to 5 mil…. if we could get everyone to donate 3 dollars and 70 cents we could buy him out and he could retire a season early. Sounds good to me.
Crzycjunx76 - September 28, 2011
I would not be against this.
He is not a bad person, but he’s taking up a spot that could be occupied by either Brett Wallace, Matt Downs, or like Timmy suggested, Chris Johnson.
mike_o - September 28, 2011
I really do not think CJ's bat will ever be better than below average on the whole
simply because his contact rate and strikeout numbers will always keep him from having a decent OBP… but I have always thought he would make a decent “power bat” off the bench sub for COF/CIF.
Crzycjunx76 - September 28, 2011
Well probably 10% of those 5 million are baseball fans, and after this Astros’ season, maybe 3%. So good luck with that.
clack - September 28, 2011
So if we went with the 10% it would be $37 a piece
and if we went with the 3% it would be the $123.33
I dont think we could get over $100 out of anyone but the $37 might be doable… all of this is tongue and cheek but I still think he is actually trad-able anyway. Dont laugh… Fangraphs says he was worth $13.5 mil this season… I think that is absurd but say he is worth a little less than half of that $6 mil… I think eating $12.5 mil of his deal and trading him (dont really care for what) is well worth it. $6 mil can go a long way in stop gap players (with potential trade value) or prospect acquisition… I imagine we will be trading Wandy and Myers as well so we should have plenty of cash to really get our rebuild of the system going.
Crzycjunx76 - September 29, 2011
Oh, I know it was tongue and cheek, and my response should be taken the same way. I’m just saying that I know a lot of non-baseball fans who care so little about the Astros that they wouldn’t give 37 cents to pay off Lee; in fact they don’t know who Carlos is and don’t care.
I think Carlos Lee might be tradeable next year, but perhaps at the trading deadline if he continues his second half 2011 performance into the first half of 2012. This also depends on his “no trade” list. Lee had a fairly decent year, particularly when you take into account his age. He beat his ZIPS projection which means that we got more from him than expected. I also give Lee credit for working on his defense so that he was no longer a defensive liability. Given Lee’s comments about wanting to be around his kids, I don’t think he is a good candidate to waive his limited no trade list.
clack - September 30, 2011
Things are getting interesting in Atlanta...
Kimbrel just walked the bases loaded with 1 out; Chase Utley is up to bat, with the Phillies trailling by a run.

MAYBE this ass kicking will motivate these youngs guys to work their asses off in the off season and come back bigger better faster and stronger.
Its Gonna Happen - September 28, 2011 via mobile
Honestly Paredes, Altuve, and Martinez
could possibly stand to go to AAA if stopgaps (guys who could be traded for minor pieces if they perform) are signed on the cheap.
They all need to work on their approach at the plate… not a single one managed an OBP above .330. Granted it was a small sample.
Same thing with some of our young pitchers, I know we are excited about them being in the majors and all, but some things are easier to work on in the minors.

What a night
Joe in Birmingham - September 28, 2011
oh yes, what a night. im shell shocked.
John Kruk is being a bandwagoner tonight.
ccislanders - September 28, 2011 via mobile
I'm on the bandwagon
I’m willing to admit it, I want the Rays to go all the way. The did this without Pena, Crawford, and more, and a $41 million payroll. One downside is I can’t imagine Andrew Friedman coming to Houston after this…
Patrick Harrel - September 28, 2011
Moneyball Solution: Remove Carlos Pena from your team.
clack - September 28, 2011
your totally right Pat. I think Joe Madden got so lucky tonight with Dan Johnson.
ccislanders - September 28, 2011 via mobile
It's so hilarious, because Crawford kept taking pot-shots at the Rays organization...
And now his overpaid butt gets to watch that same organization in the postseason, from the comfort of his luxurious living room.
mike_o - September 29, 2011
And Crawford will be public enemy no. 1 in Boston because he dropped the catch that would have gotten the third out and given the Red Sox the win. Maybe not fair, because it wasn’t an easy catch, but Crawford won’t be given the benefit of the doubt because of his bad season. Crawford may find out how Bill Buckner felt in Boston.
clack - September 29, 2011
Unbelievable is all I can say....
The Astros were the turd in the punch bowl today….every other team in the 4 meaningful games played it close and tight.
clack - September 28, 2011
great great night. i have no words right now.
ccislanders - September 28, 2011 via mobile
That was the single greatest 5 minute stretch of baseball I've ever seen in the regular season
