Brandon Backe faces native Texan Kerry Wood tonight

Brandon Backe faces native Texan Kerry Wood tonight.Let's hope that Backe feeds off the home crowd and Kerry doesn't.Let's hope the Cubs have whiffle bats instead of us.Let's hope Brandon pitches like he did the night he 1-hit the Cards in the playoffs.This year, he's pitched reasonably well, except for the last game against the Cards he's a flyball pitcher and needs someone better than Palmeiro in left…He's 1-1 with a replica Tissot T34.1.588.32 Men's watch for a 6.30 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and .341 BAA.Kerry Wood Texan with a tude drafted in the 1st round in 1995 (ohmigawd was it REALLY 10 years ago??) out of a Dallas area HS.

Called up in 98, had that game against the Astros in which he struck out 20 guys (remember, please that the 98 team won the division and we had guys like Jeff Bagwell at his best, Moises Alou, Carl Everett who DID hit well) and he was gonna be the next Nolan Ryan.Well, he blew out his elbow, had Tommy John surgery and came back in replica Tissot T-Touch Steel Analog Men's watch.Well, guess the Wrigley Faithful figgered they would be getting Pedro 99 but in reality, it DOES look like they DID get more of a Nolan Ryan type guy from 00 to 04 he went 54 35 averaging 175 IP year with a 3.68 ERA, 10 K 9 IP and a 2.3 : 1 BB:K ratio.

He came back and threw two 1,2,3 innings, but then ran into trouble again in the 7th, thank you Carlos Lee.Carlos really reminds me of Manny Ramirez out there he can catch bout any hanging fly ball, occasionally he shocks you by coming forward to replica Chopard 288347-3007 watch catch a ball, but he just kinda lopes after any grounder and lets balls fall in so he can take it on a hop.You figger he's never gonna get to anything and that's what Geoff Jenkins thought on a single to left that Carlos managed to get to in time to throw him out by a hair at second.

Burke reached on a HBP.Lance grounded into a double play

Burke reached on a HBP.Lance grounded into a double play.Carlos hit an RBI single up the middle for the game's ONLY run, Mo walked and Lane hit a grounder that the second baseman made an outstanding play on to get him out.And there, my friends, you have the sum of the Astros scoring all night.Freaking pathetic.Reminds me of last year swiss replica watches every time we got one hit I said well, at least we won't be no-hit.Every time we got a run, I said, well, at least we won't get shut out again.Same stuff, next year.- Besides the leadoff double, Biggio was ofer and left 1 on.- Burke was ofer 2 with a walk and a hitbypitch and left 1 on.-

He looks like he's in major pain every time he swings, poor guy.- Jason Lane is starting to find his swing there for a while, he looked like he could only hit if no one on base, and he went 1 4 with a BB (he doesn't take real too many walks) and no K today he'd been overswinging, I think- Morgan Ensberg went 1 2 with 2 BB next to Baggy, he has the replica Tissot T66.1.627.32 Men's watch most BB on the team- Adam Everett had just the 1 hit (and 2 K) but he sure nuff made it count.I would guess he probably STILL didn't feel real too good coming into the game 2 errors??

NOT like him…- Chavez went 1 4 with 2 K still is batting .310 and with him being Roy's personal catcher, exactly WHY are we thinking of calling up Humberto Quintero (lousy hitter in the majors, as I've said before) who STILL needs to learn how to hit? replica Tissot T04.5.255.71 Ladie's watch If we want someone who's hitting well in the minors, why not call up Todd Self, an OF whose BA has been over .400 all year?So now with the Pirates in town (and NO Oliver Perez which is good and bad good because we don't have to face an ace bad because I love watching good pitchers) we need to keep up the good work…

he had to leave in the 6th with 2 on and no out because his foot was hurting him

Well, Roy didn't look real too sharp, gave up TEN hits, 2 walks and only got 1 K with 86 pitches over 5 IP.DEFINITELY not ROY (he had to leave in the 6th with 2 on and no out because his foot was hurting him not sure WHEN he started hurting…replica Tissot T36.1.326.52 Men's watch Fortunately, Mark Prior was even less sharp came unglued in the 5th, gave up 3 singles then a grand slam to Mike Lamb (jUst over the RF wall at 340), then walked 2 guys in a row, then gave up a 3 run HR to Adam Everett ( up for TWO errors guess he's still feeling too sick from the flu to field, but not swing…)

Hit parade -- Taveras led off the game with a single, stole second on ANOTHER botched hitandrun fortunately Biggio's swing made Barrett a little late.Went 2 5 with 2 runs scored- Biggio FINALLY broke out of his slump and went 2 5 and replica Tissot T41.1.317.31 Men's watch runs scored- Baggy, I think, has stopped swinging for the fences (good idea), went 1 3 with 2 BB and knocked in Taveras in the first.You can pretty much guarantee you can knock in Taveras or Everett (he's faster than you think and a GREAT baserunner) with a single.

As Tim Purpura said to Alyson Footer: “It's unfortunate, but when a club struggles like we're struggling, it's the younger players, the less experienced players, who sometimes have to bear the brunt of it and lose playing time.”Yeah, it replica Chopard 277079-0002 watch be Everett's fault, but you know, SOMEbody gotta actually be able to field on this here team.Biggio led off the game with a patented Biggio double down the LF line hit 2952.

Not sure when they are planning to call him back up

Not sure when they are planning to call him back up, but guess that Bruntlett or Scott will be sent back down.All I can say is that Phil had better NOT be expecting Lance to be stealing bases, that's all I can say, so whoever batting 5th better not be doing no hitnrun…Of replica Tissot Digital Multifunction Ladie's watch course Ezequiel Astacio will be called up for tomorrow's game.We'll see how things go.At least he won't be going against Oliver Perez.HOPEFULLY he won't be as bad as Duck…

I WAS gonna call this The Saviour Commeth, but, um, decided it didn't look quiite, um, kosher.So to speak.You see, Lance Berkman isn't hitting, Carlos Lee isn't hitting and he fields like Manny Ramirez and Mo, Lane and Scott aren't hitting and it is replica Chopard 278249-401 watch ALL Burke's fault.You can't blame guys who are getting paid 15 and 17 mill, you can't blame BOTH right fielders when you don't have another, you NEED a guy who can play at third and besides, he gets paid more than Burke, so that leaves Burke = Designated Goat.

Looks like Ed Wade was right Kevin Cash really IS a winner he brought that Winning Way from the Yankees and Red Sox and Rays and that is what it took.Getting rid of JR Towles and his 8 RBIs was the right thing to do.Michael Bourn grounded out to start the game, and I thought, there goes our only chance at a run.And when the Dbax scored a run on a single and a triple in the top of the second, I thought oh replica Bvlgari GMT40SSD Men's watch, we gonna lose AGAIN!But then Lance FINALLY got a hit not the greatest of hits, mind, a ball juuuuust into right, and then Feliz grounded into an easy double play with one out.
