because strength and accuracy aren't his strong

Luna GO, Walker Ks.Pujols up.I replica Cartier w3019551 watch that guy (yes, I'd luv him if he was on the Stros duHh) hits a ball foul, almost outta here, then hits a ball to Lamb.If Ensberg there (let alone a Rolen) easy out.But Leadglove Lamb doesn't get it and it's a (cough) single.GR.If Pujols scores, this is more proof, at least to me, that defense is WAY undervalued.Lamb needs to create a LOT more runs than he lets get created! Rolen hits the first pitch down the left field line (he or Ensberg woulda had it), Viz goes after it, sees that Pujols (not Mr.Speedy) is testing his arm (actually a good idea?

because strength and accuracy aren't his strong points), and in fact we get lucky?because Ausmus grabs the way off-line throw and manages to twist around and tag Pujols, who made a very good slide.Qualls, who should be able to expect reasonably good defense, escapes Lead-glove syndrome.Thank you Brad. replica Cartier w20011c4 watch inning Morris 3 B up, 3 B down in 7 pitches his first 1,2,3 inning.Qualls back.Edmonds pops up, it goes over near the dugout, Lamb calls off Ausmus and, of course, he misses the ball.We HAVE to have this rule called Everyone Calls Off Lamb.Poor Qualls.

He does get out of the inning with out any runs, GO, K, 2B, single, K (pinch hitter Mabry so hopefully we can get into their pen, and hopefully their pen will stink it up again.)6th inning Ray King pitching.Viz still at short, no Everett.Kent (1 fer 6) gets an infield single, but Lamb GIDP.Viz singles.King out.Calero in.Hope he stinks again.But Ausmus GO.Qualls get Luna, Walker and Pujols (YES) on a GB to Lamb who actually handles the ball well.Glory be!7th inning Calero pitching.OK.Time to hit.But Palmeiro swiss replica watches (where is Lane?!) Beltran singles and Bagwell strands him.Another LOB!! Dan Wheeler in.He has had 3 scoreless innings so far.And he gets another.Lamb (yes, I admit it) makes a nice catch of Rolen's line drive.

Edmonds up.He flies out to Biggio

He's a GOOD fielder, yes he is.Then Bagwell doubles down the left field line, the ball takes a funny ricochet, which gives Beltran time to score.He can RUN! Morris looks wild.Berkman walks !! replica Cartier wb707931 watch But Kent LO stranding 2 he's been doing that all series.Except Monday, of course.Munro back, Albert up, strike 1 almost gone, but he has to settle for a double.Munro must look like a BP pitcher to him.Rolen up.He's doing that fouling off pitches stuff that Albert perfected lst inning and sure nuff, he singles to short, Albert to second.

Edmonds up.He flies out to Biggio, who has, uh, to be nice, a weak arm.He throws the ball to Leadglove Lamb, who drops the ball, and Pujols is safe at third.I promise that if that had been Lane and Ensberg, he would have been out.Renteria singles up the middle.2 runs in.Munro out, Harville in.And Sanders singles.I remember the slaughter in Game 1 oh no, but Matheny and Morris both replica Cartier 100 w20072x7 watch 44th inning OK, down 2, but we can come back fer sher.Morris, still with lousy stuff, pitches to Lamb, who takes the 6th pitch out.Boy can HIT.

Too bad he can't catch or throw… Viz pops out, Ausmus singles, Adam Everett at the plate (is he gonna replace Viz? I sure do hope so! 2 bad fielders and 1 OK fielder is not, uh, the best idea…) Adam is actually a pretty good player who has a good glove (well deserved) poor hit (not really well deserved . replica Cartier w62041v3 watch with 22 sac bunts -thank you Jimy hitting second, 17 BB, 8 HR, 13 SB with 2 CS .He hits into a FC, Ausmus out.Biggio FO.I need an explanation WHY Jason Lane isn't playing.Grr.Oh, I forgot Veteran Presence.Lane would just freak out.Gr.1 LOB.Qualls pitching.

Kent hits a grounder looks to like Bags

Kent hits a grounder looks to like Bags beat the tag, but I guess I'm wrong and he's out.OK, Pete.Go for it.But he's a little shaky and Womack singles, Walker GO and you-know-who is up.I HATE that guy.First open, one on and we don't walk him.Dumdumdum cuz after he fouls off a few pitches to get his timing down, he takes the next replica Cartier wf9008z8 watch pitch over the wall.Sigh.We never learn, do we.OK, so Backe got him out 4 times on Monday.But Barry F.Bonds Himself wouldn't have hit him either and Munro is shaky.Gr.Rolen Ks, Edmonds singles on a low pitch, Renteria singles, Sanders FO stranding 2.

Munro better throw strikes on the corners, not in the middle of the plate or we're lost.ASTROS 1 replica Cartier wj11932g watch 22nd inning Lamb walks.Morris is NOT sharp, either, praise be.We better hit.A LOT.A REAL lot.Viz hits into a FC.Lamb out.Grr.The board shows he's hitting .313 but it's not with men on and he has NO RBIs…..Ausmus is having a great at bat 6 fouls in between the 3 balls, and Viz heads down to second on most of them.I don't know if these are hit n runs, but Ausmus is not a good contact hitter and when he Ks, Vis is C S.By a mile.He's NOT a good base stealer or particularly fast… Munro back is doing better, GO, GO, single, GO.

Doesn't seem to me that he's using both sides of the plate well, but hopefully he can get thru the lineup at least twice.3rd inning Munro GO, Biggio replica Cartier w10172t2 watch.Biggio has not had a hit since the first inning of game 4, has NO BB, NO RBIs and has scored only 1 run, and that was in game 1.Sigh.I don't know what it is about the postseason, but he seriously stinks it up every single year.Free Jason Lane, huh, Phil? Beltran hits a long single down the right field line, but Walker plays it beautifully.

Peter Gammons says that tonight's MFY

And I have to be a “good sport” for my kids and that's harder than you think.I'll go and cry later.My mother the stat geek won't cry.She'll write up a whole bunch of tables to explain everything.We all grieve in our own way…I guess it's time to start wondering how we're gonna keep Beltran…..I guess I better replica Cartier w51005q4 watch start wondering if we actually WANT to keep Beltran.Sigh.Congratulations to the Cardinals.UPDATE: 10 22 just want to say thank you to all the people who wrote to say sorry and better luck next time…

Of course we're the afternoon game.Peter Gammons says that tonight's MFY Sox game is the most highly anticipated game ever.Whoopie freaking doodoo.You note that Peter is an avid Red Sox fan who has season tickets.But like it or not media replica Cartier w2607456 watch persons, the better baseball being played in the central time zone they just mention Beltran so all the eastcoasters know just who it is that George intends to buy this winter….Man this town has gone baseball crazy a few of the sackers at the supermarket (no names it's against company regs) are wearing Astro caps.

I'm standing in line with my kidz in their Astros t-shirts and like everyone comes over to say GO STROS!! I'm late for first pitch?bcause I'm talking about Munro and Morris to total strangers.This is just unbelievable -?I mean, I had Astros caps for the boys when they were babies, and no one ever stopped me to talk actual baseball (just the usual are replica Cartier w20012c4 watch they twins, aren't they cute, etc…) So I put the groceries (out of Dogs' reach) on the counter and rush into the living room to turn on the TV and it's the1st inning Morris does not look sharp.Biggio, who, for a leadoff hitter doesn't take many pitches, has already GO on the second pitch and Beltran is at bat.Morris pitching VERY carefully, but Beltran walks, goes to third on a Bagwell single and scores on a Berkman SF.

Six minutes?This is pretty much the replica ESQ 07301209 epitome of what Cardinal Crapmas is all about.Just plain old coasters are kind of “crap,” but I'll acknowledge the fact that Cardinal coasters would be a fun way to Add a little baseball into your living room decoration.Howevuh Add ing authentic “game used dirt” and jacking up the price another 25 30 bucks, makes it officially crap that nobody needs.Read the full original article…

I had been looking for this video all week and I finally found it on Bruce Ciskie's NHL Fan House blog.Two teams that hate each other a lot, old time hockey and a nice way to finish the game with a line brawl, or at least a scrum.I think Buffalo forward Paul Gaustad should have been given a major penalty for swinging his stick at Chara, there Sector 04940 Men's Watch was no excuse for that.For one Miller Bump ed Chara and he gave him a little tiny love tap.I am surprised there wasn't a couple of fines as a result of this action.Read the full original article…
