Michael Wuertz is Rick Vaughning it here. Take him out, Lou. Way to blow a 4-0 lead and Brewers loss.

Milwaukee really came up limp in the 8th. Awful.

 

I think Yost did a pretty piss poor job of managing the bullpen there. How do you blow a 6-2 lead in the eighth inning? Yeesh.

After this stretch of games vs Toronto, DC and KC, the Os are going to be the laughing stock of baseball easily.

 

I swear to god, they're going to probably lose at least 2 of 3 to each team, and probably even get swept by the nats..

I have no idea why he let Shouse start the 8th. Probably wouldnt have mattered if Turnbow started anyway with the filth he brought to the mound.

Smoltz went to tag Kearns between third and home and Kearns pretty much ran right through poor Smoltzie's hand.

Al, what happened to Bobby Abreu?

Some of it could just be bad luck. You have to wonder though if the lack of power is taking its toll. As he becomes less of a power threat, pitchers can safely challenge him, negating his tremendous plate discipline.

Woody Williams just hit a homerun against Matt Morris and the San Fran Gigantes; the 4th of his career. Only 742 more till he passes Bonds! 2-0 'Stros! Exclamation point!

Who do I root for when the Yankees play the White Sox? Quelle désastre!

At least you didn't lose on a walk.

 

 

 

 

Did you lose on a walk?

You won't have that problem tonight, because they aren't.

I think I'd have to go Yankees on this one. I want the Sox to get roughed up heading into the crosstown games on Friday.

Hunter Pence is friggin' legit. He hasn't made an out tonite. A double, single, walk, and, with the 'Stros down 5-3 in the 8th, he hit a two-run homer off of Armando Benetiz to tie it up. He also earned everybody in the ballpark a free Chic-Fil-A sandwich, as his homerun banged off the Chic-Fil-A 'Fowl' pole.

And there's El Caballo with the walk-off! Carlos Lee went 4 for 4 with two homeruns. Hunter Pence went three for three with a homerun and 2 RBI. Good Lord, this was a good game and a good sign for the Astros.

Huston Street became about the 20th A's player it seems this year to go on the DL. Justin Duchscherer might be following Street on to the DL so tonight the A's tried Alan Embree and Jay Witsick to close it out and shockingly it didn't work, blowing a three run lead in the 9th to the f'n Royals.

 

Also the A's have so many players unavailable tonight (Marco Scutaro started in right field) that back up catcher Adam Melhuse is the only available player on the bench. Nick Swisher pulled up a bit lame going for a flyball in the 9th and the game might be going to extra innings so this could get interesting.
