for bringing up that 9-0 game earlier

Geez

this is the second day in a row the Astros have come back from a 6 run deficit.

by Randy Richardson on May 16, 2008 9:03 PM CDT   0 recs

Hopefully

with different a result.

by coolaid on May 16, 2008 9:04 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah...

Let’s do that stupid fake to third throw to first move, and see if we can’t let another team steal home on us.

by Adam J. Morris on May 16, 2008 9:04 PM CDT   0 recs

tough night

for Rangers pitching. The Beave got rocked, and Hurley did not fare well, either. Bummer, because I was really starting to buy into our pitching stash.

I'm going out on a limb

Josh Hamilton will have a four HR game. Not saying it’s tonight, but this year.

...after the first two batters reached.

I wasn’t just pumping my fist, I was screaming like a madman. That was the greatest moment of the season so far, IMO.

Anybody see Josh on mlb.com?

Hurley gives up another HR, 7R in 5 IP.
And, Beaven was terrible too.

Wiggington

He didn’t want to piss him off…
