Rocky End To Win Streak

RRD — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 17:48:12 +0000

Wandy Rodriguez was knocked out of the park by the Rockies on 6-4-9. The Rockies scored 4 home runs in 5 innings ending the Astros 4 win streak. This brings Wandy under the microscope as the team tries to figure out what’s happening to their “shining star”. The last 3 outing for Wandy have been dismal for him with a 7.9 ERA and 0 wins.

Big Win

Very nice blog. I loved it and the number of astros fan are increasiong cay by day.

Astros Stick With Same Players

RRD — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 23:47:18 +0000

Looks like the Astros will go with much the same unit as last year. Aaron Boone signed a 1 year deatl for $750,000. The Astros signed Clay Hensley to a Minor League and is invited to Spring Training. If he makes the team he’ll get over half a million dollars.

8 Game Winning Streak

The Astros continue to pour it on as they swept the Giants on 8-14. The Wild Card slot is starting to look more & more feasible. Everything seems to come together when the Astros are all but counted out. Hitting, pitching and defense is firing on all cylinders. Berkman put on a good show as he provided the tiebreaker in the bottom of the 8th with a 2 run homer. Earlier in the game he provided a double to bring a run home in the 3rd inning.

9th Inning Meltdown

RRD — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:00:06 +0000

The Astros gave up 7 runs on 6 hits in the 9th to seal their fate against the Pittsburgh Pirates last night. Jose wasn’t doing well giving up 6 runs on 5 hits & 2 homers trying to close. Tim Byrdak did even worse giving up a 3 run homer.

That means the Astros really have to pour it on the rest of the season.

Home Run Derby

RRD — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:07:24 +0000

Lance Berkman went to bat left-handed after batting practice and it worked out well for him. After a slow start he knocked out 8 home runs to advance to round 2. He knocked out 6 home runs in the 2nd round but was eliminated by Twins‘ Justin Morneau who hit 9. It was a good performance by Berkman but not as good as his run in 2004 when he knocked out 21 home runs to claim the #2 spot behind Miguel Tejada.

Boing!

I agree with Trophey. There is no where to go but UP.

Every year at the All-Star break we Astros fans are crowing “it’s over” or “woo-hoo! division lead for the rest of the season.” Anything is possible… Welcome to the rest of the season.

well here we are… in last place in the Central division. This is where you hear a bounce as we hit the bottom and start the long ascent to the playoffs. right…?

yarrrgh, me good eye!

Berkman and Mohler got a touch of the pink eye this week. It would be ironic if they had to wear a patch just as they started the series against the Pirates. Yarrrrrgghhh!
