3 errors before we recorded the 1st out. These kids were starting to look like minor leaguers (despite the fact that the only run they scored that inning was in serious dispute---he was OUT at the plate.)
We lead now 2-1 in the 4th...lookin good!

I'm enjoying watching these young kids play. The more I see of Johnson and Wallace, the better I like them. What I don't understand is sitting Castro so much and playing that lard ass Quintero. This guy is a decent backup catcher but he can kill any rally you've got going with one swing of the bat........DP.
Myers is well worth the extension we gave him. We have the makings of a good rotation.

I agree, JB. I'm actually excited about the Astros for the first time in a couple of years. I have watched three games from start to finish this year, 2 of them have been within the last two days.
Maybe Castro just needs to rest his knees . Lets hope that's what it is.

I want us to play Castro because he is the future, and we have to develop him. But the fact is that Q is a better hitter and defender right now

Norris has been pitching pretty well lately and it is St. Louis but they broke the curse with him in the last game he pitched. Let us hope he keeps improving with his pitching performance tonight.

This is the most runs they have scored all year, and they have not hit any homeruns to do it. They are pretty much slapping the ball everywhere. Now St. Louis has hit some homeruns. Ha! Even Lee is making us proud in this one. They are an interesting group of nobodies.

The Cardinal pitching is really choking in this series. We have scored 27 runs in two games. I bet there is some discomfort going on there. We haven't exactly been known as the hitting team.

Congratulation for the Astros, they are playing really good. By the way, Wallace is hitting .300.

The Astros are totally embarrassing the Cardinals. Things may change tomorrow with Carpenter going for St. Louis.
SADoug, I have never liked seeing Quintero in the game. He is a horrible hitter and is slow as molasses. He is a DP waiting to happen if he bats with runners on base. He is OK as far as being a defensive catcher goes,but, I want to see Castro getting most of the playing time.

I think Castro has been getting better with his hitting also. He is just under .200 now. Let's hope he keeps improving or Quintero goes on a diet. Guy that gets paid that much ought to be able to go on a diet. Food is cheap, if he was getting minimum wage he could still eat pretty well and live under the bridge.
