vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 The third grand slam this weekend. Podsednik, Crede, Iguchi... I feel like vomiting...or giving Brad Lidge the worse hoosesoaking of his life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 Yeah, I really like watching Clemens pitch. Any time you can add a Hall-of-Fame pitcher to your rotation, it's a good thing...Wait...were you being sarcastic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 Good thing they signed Clemens. They're only 3 behind the Reds for the wild card, and only 5 back of the cards. It was a great signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 Good Lord. This game felt like in the first Mortal Kombat where you have to beat that dude with like...fifteen arms and then after he kicked your ass and you barely eeked out a victory over him you still had to fight like another guy and then Shang Tsung, but a win is a win...even if this was the most emasculating Astros win I've seen in a very, very long time. I hear Leo Mazzonne likes fixing broken pitchers. Maybe that Lidge, Everett, Lane for Tejada trade could still go down...but probably not. I've been drinking Vault Soda and smoking Marlboro Reds for several hours. If I to into a sugar coma or get lung cancer, I'm suing the Houston Astros.

Any time you can add a Hall-of-Fame pitcher to your rotation, it's a good thing...Wait...were you being sarcastic? Just seems if they had all this available money, they should've gone out and built a bullpen that won't crap away a seven-run lead in the span of two innings.

Just seems if they had all this available money, they should've gone out and built a bullpen that won't crap away a seven-run lead in the span of two innings. They didn't really have "all this available money". Owner Drayton McClane exceeded the payroll for a special case, that case being Clemens. It's a total rent-a-player move. However, I think that it's evident that we need to do something with our bullpen. And besides, before the season I doubt they thought the bullpen would be this shoddy. It's basically the same pen we had last season that was so good. Who could've predicted the downfall of Qualls, Wheeler, and Lidge...well, Lidge not so much, but I am surprised that Qualls and Wheeler are going through such streakiness.

I really liked the meltdown Lloyd McClendon had a few years back with the Pirates when he took a base back with him to the dugout and didn't want to give it back.

Guest Smues Report post Posted June 26, 2006 I got my wish about Russ Ortiz. The Os signed him and sent Adam Loewen down and Ortiz will take his spot in the rotation. I dont know terms of the deal or anything.. Does this get the D-backs off the hook for the rest of his contract? I sure hope not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
