"Astros had a bad week, and Clemens says his back is hurting."
Frickin' Astros can't beat the woeful Pirates...
Well, I always have the Tigers to fall back on; 15 Aug. and the Tigers are NOT mathematically eliminated. A successful season!
I was at 2 of the 3 Buccos/Astros games...of course the 2 that they lost. The Saturday one was awful, with Clemens giving up only 2 hits and no runs over 8 innings, with 9 Ks. Lidge gives up a homer right from the get-go in the 9th. He's been quite shakey lately. Also, the 'Stros had soemthing like 11 LOBsters or so--pitiful.
The Sunday game wasn't much better. No major league team, let alone a playoff contender, should get shut-out twice in a row. I was quite mad.
Of course, I completed my 3-games-in-3-days tour tonight, just in time to see a good old-fashioned spanking of the Cubbies. It was good to be a 'Stros fan tonight. Let's just hope they can keep it up.
