This really isn't true.  Crede and Jermaine both crushed balls off of him that just hooked foul that would have given us 3 more runs.  Also in the 5th inning Jermaine and Paul back to back just absolutely hammered two pitches but right at Lane in rf, we got a little rally going after those two ab's also.  He only gave up 2 runs but I wouldn't say we wee hopeless against him.

yea, and they can crush those ALL NIGHT LONG foul. It's the way Pettitte pitches. You can't get around fast enough on that inside fastball. 95-100 times those balls go right where they did, foul.

 

I want no part of Pettitte and Oswalt in a game 6 or 7 situation. We have to play like we're down 2-0 instead of up 2-0 - or like we have nothing to lose and we need to shove the ball right up the Astros ass.

You can't just add anything to a pitchers era.  Some nl pitchers just can't make the adjustment to the al and some can make it fine.  Suppan is a very solid nl pitcher but absolutely blows in the american league.  Mark Redman has pitched very well in the national league but has been average in the al.  Randy went from being dominate to good but not outstanding anymore coming back to the al.  It all depends on the pitcher imo.

 

I am saying that is the average when a pitcher changes league. I remember cheat posting it and i remember reading a couple articles that it was below .5.

The blood's in the water. Time to go for the kill now.

Just posting to say hopefully when I join back in, we will be talking about a possible sweep tomorrow. In the meantime, I will be running back and forth between the game and puking.

DO IT SOX! GO FOR THE KILL!

Thank God! An entire video montage on the foul ball that the ump said hit Dye! WOOHOO!

Cy Oswald is good, but let's hope we show him he is NOT THAT good.

Hmmmm, we were much louder than this during the team intro's if I remember correctly. I thought they were LOUD down there. Does the roof do THAT much that it helps equal that place to other parks???

OK... I am all about supporting the gulf coast rebuilding, but this pre game stuff doesnt belong here

Enough crappy WS music.

National anthem...PLEASE!

Ok, this is starting to piss me off

Bad song.

 

I guess you know you're in Texas when the friggin' American flag is covered in friggin' rinestones!!! LOL!!!
