good pitcher = we send 4 batters over the minimum up there.....unreal......

Jimmy Williams has no problem throwing Shane Reynolds, veteran with history of arm problems, up there for 120 pitchers but he sure can yank Roy O after 86 pitches of shutout ball for his sh+t bullpen......

Wade Miller -- look for this guy to be out for the year....he has bigtime problems -- disk problems in neck radiating to arm and he has a dead arm....

Dotel -- this guy is throwing 4-5 mph less than usual too.....his arm looks dead also....

Wagner -- this guy loves to throw his 98 mph STRAIGHT fastball right down the heart of the plate and sometimes a little high in the zone to right handers with good bat speed.....he is a joke for a closer and any above average hitter will send that fast meatball back to the bleachers.....

Lineup -- horrid clutch hitting against above average pitchers as usual....team has absolutely no clue how to steal a base, hit and run, or bunt -- sound familiar Red Sox fans?????

The Jimmy -- I don't know if watching him make stupid moves before or during the game annoys me more, or hearing him try to explain away his decisions with that squeaky voice of his

R. Stone, S. Linebrink, N Cruz -- should not even be in the minors....these guys should be in some softball beer league the way they pitch....

C. Biggio -- horrible baserunner, horrible clutch hitter, horrible attitude, great backstabber (not in regards to his fielding ability)

L Berkman, R Hidalgo, D. Ward -- slowest outfield ever assembled

M Ensberg & A Everett -- these two guys should be lucky to hit .220 the way they look at the plate

J Lugo -- 20% of the time he will NOT mishandle the ball as he fields it

Drayton McLain (our owner) -- raises ticket prices after building ballpark with TAX money (this should be a crime in itself IMO -- tax money should not be used to fund these overpaid mercenaries called pro athletes), sells 6$ beers, 4$ hotdogs, makes horrible contract decisions (D. Bell, J Lima, C. Biggio, B Wagner among others) and wonders why attendance is dropping.....

Freeze, I was going thru some Houston newspaper website earlier today, don't remember what it was. Houston Chronicle or something rather, that stated that tests including an MRI was done that revealed no disc compressions nor fractures nor circulatory problems and he was diagnosed with a pinched nerve in the neck. He was prescribed rest and anti-inflammatories, and the best case scenario is that he'd back in 10-14 days but most likely in 3 weeks. Is there a new update on his test results? Or was the website wrong?

i didn't hear that info yet.....i knew that disk problems were suspect and that was the most likely cause for a pinched nerve with that presentation.....

i am wondering what the cause is, if it isn't a disc.....not a likely scenario for a productive season this year whatever the case....

He supposedly had similar symptoms late last year but pitched through it (real good move), and this year got worse. I agree his complaints aren't very consistent with a simple pinched nerve. They should probably just let him rest a while longer instead of rushing him back and risk his career. But then again there's Jimmy who finds the need to get himself involved and f**k everything up.:nono:

BTW, you're a 2nd year right? PartI USMLE coming up?

Now we just flat out lay down......

what really pisses me off, is how we can turn young aggressive pitchers into passive wusses and walk everyone.....we did this last year right before the playoffs and it set the stage for a no heart performance.....

once again we walk bonds, pitch around him, and we still get swept......

when you CONSISTENTLY DO SOMETHING AND IT NEVER WORKS AND YOU ARE 0-11 AGAINST A TEAM TRY SOMETHING NEW JIMMY YOU F"ING MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
