4/27/05: Astros Lose To Pirates Because Of Sloppy Play

Kip Wells threw 7 innings of 1 walk, 4 hit ball.

Pettite allowed 2 runs in 6 IP, Franco got TWO LHB out, Brad Lidge was wild, couldn’t find the strike zone and loaded the bases before getting the last out.

Everett gets CS in yet ANOTHER botched hit and run – Phil ain’t figgered out that even the dumbest opposing manager just WAITING for it.

We are shut out by the freaking Pittsburgh Pirates, by 2 of their starting pitchers whose ERAs were over 6 before the game TWO GAMES IN A ROW!

I am trying, but I can’t find much good to say about how we are doing.
I said before the season started that I would be REAL happy if we ended the year at .500 -
Let me re-say that: I will be REAL happy if we do not outsuck the 03 Tigers or 04 Dbax. I will be REAL happy if we do not break the ML record for getting shut out in a 162 game season. I will be REAL happy if we quit botching all these hit and runs cuz Phil is SO predictable.

Next discussion will be about who the next 5th starter will be.
Because there ain’t real too much to say about not hitting, is there…

    I wouldn”t call the astros that bad. Sure they probally won’t be in the playoffs this year but the pitchers are great. Besides this we need some young tallent to lead this team to the futere. sure the youngins suck bad this year but may replace other batters in the future who fail to put up good numbers. Besides this we can always ditch them in a year and replace them with better players.

    Once Berkman gets back this team will be significantly improved. Greatly. And then if Tim Purpura manages to show signs of a good GM as he did when he was the assistent, we still have a chance…

    the pitching’s fine, but the hitting is abysmal, as Dave Pinto pointed out lately, they’re hitting .202 over the last five games. There are PITCHERS who hit better than that.

    hi yall!!!
    yeah, we DO need berkman. but if don’t nobody else hit, he gonna break barry bonds’ walk record…
    we gonna just hafta let the rooks learn to hit i guess. look what happened with brandon inge of the tigers…
    and we need to STOP all those predictable hit and runs.
    we should be using duckworth as a pinch hitter…
