Grr.Bagwell, Beltran, Berkman and Kent were ofer that junk and you can't win if you don't hit.Period.WAY too many swings on first pitches that were balls.2) Roger wasn't sharp from the beginning wasn't hitting the corners.I knew that he was in trouble when he had NO strikeouts by the end of the 4th.He was cooked by the fifth throwing a lot of balls and he couldn't keep the ball down.Almost every pitch he threw in the 6th was up.3) When first is open and the tying go ahead run is on base, replica Cartier w20095y1 watch! Are you watching this Red Sox?! Do NOT ask the pitcher how he feels about staying in, or walking learn from Grady Little's mistake.4) There was absolutely NO excuse for continuing to play Biggio instead of Jason Lane.
He ended up hitting .188 with NO walks, 5 hits, 2 runs and 1 RBI.I guarantee you that Lane would have thrown out Womack in the 3rd.Viz and Kent didn't make the tough plays not errors, just didn't get to the balls.We missed Adam Everett big time and I don't know why he didn't play.Defense DOES matter (see Rolen, Scott and Beltran, replica Cartier w10184u2 watch Carlos)5) Edmonds made a Carlos Beltran catch of a Brad Ausmus sure to be double that would have scored 2 runs and we didn't basically do anything after that.6) Two scoring small ball plays suicide squeeze for them; Carlos Beltran BB, SB, 3rd on FO, then home on error overthrow for us.I love small ball.Sorry.
It is true that runners put a lot of presure on the defense and the pitcher.Carlos is now 34 for 34 for SB with the Astros.7) Except for the refusal to play Jason Lane or Everett or pinch hit for Viz, I think that Phil made fewer mistakes as the post season went replica Cartier we500260 watch on, and considering that he's gonna be our manager next year, that's good news. I noticed that the first team to score lost every game (except game 5.)9) I sure do hope that all the bandwagoners don't hop off.I saw LOTS of kids and teens in Astros gear.I'm dreaming of Astros Nation.I know this isn't the best entry ever, but I'm too depressed to write.
