How old does Wesley Wright look to you?

If he was pitching in the LL World Series this year, I don’t think they’d even check his birth certificate.

My daughter says she wants to marry Taylor Bucholz.
But I'm not sure about the beard.

Eleven.

Give or take a few.

You know I always thought Kahlil Greene (sp?)

looked like a 12 year old too. Only a 12 year old girl

Thank god for baseball season.

Nice play by Kaz

Why was he swinging on 3-1? Silly man

Hmm. Yorvit up. I wonder how this ends.

Double by Yorvit

How many HRs would we have had in this series if we weren’t hitting everything to center?

If we were hitting everything to left...

we’d have-carry the five-um…171 home runs in this series.

We're good at it

There was this big guy, played 1B for the Cardinals, batted against us in the 9th inning in the NLCS one year … but I can’t remember his name or what he did.

He was good last night.

I’m trying to give our bullpen the benefit of the doubt, since I’ve been unnecessarily harsh on the Kipper so far.

No, no

Keep being harsh on the Kipper. It’s working.

love to see the haut de the order come up with a little insurance next inning…providing of course that Fuentes has the normal, solid, 3 up 3 down outing he’s always had at the juice box.

Yes, those guys.

OT: Nuggets

Anyone watching that too? Sometimes i really hate that team. They act like they are allergic to defense. Down by 2 at half, now down by 13 not even halfway through the 3rd

No. but I did watch the Avs last night after the Rox game

The good news for Rox fans on Wright ..

who’s young, left-handed, throws a low-90s fastball, an 83-84 mph slider & a curve, is that the ‘Stros Rule 5’d him for $50,000 … from the DODGERS. At least he won’t be showing up in the NL West.

Astro fan repression was mentioned above. Our Rule 5 win-loss column will never be evened. The Rule 5 guy we lost was named Johan Santana.
