Good stuff Burke. On the red jerseys, the red ones that say "Houston" on them are made of a new material. They are called "cool base", and they are not as thick as the regular authetic one. I bought one last year and believe me it makes a difference when I wear it to the game versus wearing the regular authentic ones.
Isn't the old rule that if you argue balls and strikes you get run? Obviously the frustration is getting to him. Burke stepped up with a big hit at least.
Exactly why he should be the everyday RF. I'm glad Burke is back, but it should only be at the expense of Biggio's playing time. Scott has earned the everyday shot. Pence is a freaking All-Star. I know he won't get it, but this kid is a real star.
Sampson is the best #5 starter in the league. And to think Brian Moehler almost had the fifth spot coming out of Spring Training...
I thought they might've given back the closer role to Lidge with his success since his first few outings and Wheeler's recent poor performance, but I guess not.
Lidge should be pitching in the ninth. This is a perfect opportunity for him to regain that closer role and for the Astros to see what they have.
Big win today. Hopefully Texas can hold on tonight. BTW, is it just me or is the board being quiet tonight?
Rangers played add on in the eighth, come on Gagne! Brewers lost, Cardinals losing, and Pirates lost! We've played like "chicken spit" so far this year, and we're only 7.5 games back
