This guy has been pathetic lately. Usually his control breaks down at some point and he walks a bunch and then loses control of the game completely. I don't have a good feeling about this. No one on our team is hitting homeruns. What happened last night was a mirage. Our only hope is that the Brewers are worse. I believe that is a possiblilty.

Backe is NOT a good major league starter.
He is NOT a good pitcher, usually goes ONLY 5 but giving 3 runs or more, which is NOT good.
We have a very bad rotation, AWFUL.

Sampson is NOT a starter, not a good pitcher either.
We are in need of Pettitte, wait, we had him but Big Mac did not wanted to give him a 2 year deal but wait, he gave Williams a 2 year deal, wow, we had a MORON as a GM, INCREDIBLE.

I believe in Backe. I believe that he is going to suck like he always does. He is a consistant pitcher. Consistantly bad and getting worse on a steady statistical curve.

It is going to take a continuous round of insults and expletives to get Backe to pitch well so lets keep them coming that worthless curveball he has breaks after it is in the catcher's mit.

His fastball keeps coming and coming and confuses the hitters because it gets them thinking as it comes in they are thinking I can hit this a mile and they think some more. It is not good for a hitter to have to think about a fastball.

I fear this is the inning he cracks. He got that homerun he gave up back and he can't stand good fortune. That bum will pitch us into oblivion. Oh he got through that inning, the fifth inning is always poison. I have no good feelings whatsoever about the fifth except as a drink. I also would note that it is the bottom of the lineup and they have always been deadly to the pitiful Astro pitching.

This guy Parra must throw curveballs because Pence is worthless against him. Bourn is sucking big time. Wigginton is battling and he is on base. It is nice to have Pigginton back. But now it is throw in the Towles and he is deeply mired in a slump and is pathetic.

Backe can't hit the plate. Someone get some spectacles for Blind as a Backe. If he could see the plate maybe he could hit it. They should tell him there is laser surgery these days, what a pathetic loser. The pitcher got a single, I knew it. Our pitching is devastated by the worse hitters of the other team.

He made it through the inning. Miracles still do happen. But can you allow this loser to try to pitch six? He is starting to crack already and that is a sign that the next inning he will be bombed.

Backe homered. Well that is one thing that Backe can do and that is hit. In fact that only serves to emphasize how pathetic our own hitting is when Backe is leading the pack today. Man, if we win this one, it will be a miracle.
