"Angry Eyes"?
Now you have that old 80s torch song “Hungry Eyes” stuck in my melon. Lame.

Sad effort there, Todd
I’ll be a Helton defendar to the last, but sometimes my man makes it hard…

Nice job, Cook...
Just make it look accidental.
(Just kidding—I know Cook’s above it all.)
And there’s the A.C. Special.

DP
Sometimes I feel like Cook puts a guy on first just so he can get the DP.

You never know; he may just being doing.
However, eventually it’s going to turn into one of the sundry ways of losing.

Sometimes
I feel like our offense puts guys on base…just to hit into a DP. Thanks, Barmes. A sac bunt would have been better.

Taveras with the no-clutch. 4 hits, one run = reason why we keep losing.

He still needs to be hitting lower in the order, though

Need another pitcher?
The Astros announced during their game tonight that Shawn Chacon has been suspended indefinitely. No reason given, but after being demoted to the bullpen (he started off nicely this year, but was 0-3 with a 9.00+ ERA in his 3 most recent starts),
he left a meeting with the manager & GM & proclaimed the move “horseshit” in the press.
2 days later, he’s suspended. Shades of Sidney Ponson.
There is a bright side to the '08 season.
Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens are out of baseball.

Heh
Cook has to fuming at the mediocre D behind him tonight. Or maybe more accurately, Cook is a mediocre pitcher unless the D behind him is top shelf.

Cook
is getting hit here. Seeing-eye singles will always be his demons, and a few are hurting him now. Though we’d be tied if Omar could see that big white square out there called “2nd base” and/or Atkins could throw the ball with any accuracy.

For us to be 6th in the league in batting average and sporting a
94 OPS+ as a team….is pretty pathetic given we play at Coors field.

Swept by the Royals?
Thanks to an anemic offense, pathetic defense, and Cook’s 2nd straight effort to pitch his way off the all-star team, ugh. I’ve been trying not to get too negative, but this is about as bad as it gets.

Lack of strikeout pitch
the reason Cook is no ace. How many 2 strike hits in this game? This is what scares me about Reynolds too.

And
I don’t want to be taken wrong…I like Cook a lot and he’s been one of the only lights in this otherwise black season. But the team needed him to be on tonight, and he wasn’t. Then again, even if he was, the nancy offense would cost us the win.

He was robbed on three seperate batters of a called 3rd strike...
One of those batters he had two pitches that were obviously in the zone called balls.

I don't think thats being heritical
no one here confuses Cook with a true #1. Its one of the many examples of how this club was poorly assembled and has performed poorly that he is being asked to be the Ace.

Indeed.
He’s the ideal #3, a stretch but probably good enough to be your #2, but if he’s your #1 (and the rest of your staff is filled with #5s or guys performing at that level) how can you expect to be competitive?

Are you saying Brandon Webb is a #3?
Aaron Cook has the same stuff as Bandon Webb. You’re calling the two pitchers with the most wins in the National League #3’s. That’s rediculous.
