GameCast: Astros vs. Cardinals, 12:10 PM

The first sign that the apocalypse is near:

Orlando Palmeiro is batting lead-off for the Astros... and he led off today's game with a double. Berkman capitalized by driving him in, one batter later.

I seem to remember that, for reasons unbeknownst to me, we don't seem to hit Jeff Suppan very well. This is why I'm a bit in shock.

Single, single, HBP. Jeez, pull it together, Taylor!

Fortunately, Taylor escaped damage when Larry Bigbie (whom Phat-C would describe as "an overpriced Larry Bigbie," but whom I would characterize as "a poor man's Larry Bigbie") struck out looking with bases loaded. Huzzah!

Orlando 2-for-2, with another run scored. Wow.

Dave Borkowski just struck out Poo-Holes. This just doesn't happen that often.

Nice work, Borky.

Uh, he struck out Rolen, too. WHEE!

Willy struck out looking with a man on second in the ninth.

Great. Great.

Just about everybody in our lineup (not counting Lamb, really) sucks right now. Willy's now 0-for-5.

Morgan's one hit came when it didn't count; he's stranded at least 3 runners today.

Isringhausen looks like a good candidate to join the "stupid looking, crooked-hat-wearing mug shot" club.

Dammit! After a leadoff single, Bruntlett dies at second base. Great clutch hitting, boys.

I pretty much hate Aaron Miles. He joins Eckstein in the "Fernando Vina Cheapass" Club.

What sucks is that, by virtue of being unable to score Bruntlett, we're assured of having to pitch to Poo-Holes AND Rolen. Whee.

Well, they already IBB'd Pujols earlier, and Rolen made them pay for it.

Now we can watch Morgan strike out again with the game on the line.

Look at the freaking pitch that Fat Elvis struck out on!

"M Ensberg fouled out to first."

FREAKING TERRIBLE.

Cowards wouldn't give Mike Hammer a chance to yank one out.

Yeah, I'd meant to comment on that LaRussa remark at some point.

In the immortal words of your old Lafayette coach:

"You guys f__king suck!"

Absolutely stunning Spinal Tap reference.

I can't help but laugh every time I think of your coach saying that to ya'll, though...

Private Mendoza, you mean?

Gee, I wonder which corner of the strike zone Springer's going for on this Pujols at-bat?

3:32 PM  
Blogger Shafty said...

No, no, keep the ball DOWN, Springer.

3:35 PM  
Blogger Shafty said...

Yeah, beeotch.

Another strikeout!

3:43 PM

And Special K enters the game!

Alas, that ALSO means that Mike Gallo had to come in, too.

3:48 PM  
Blogger Shafty said...

Here we go...

3:48 PM  
Blogger Shafty said...

Should have been strike three.

3:51 PM

Right now I hate Mike Gallo.
