The five straight wins the Astros reeled off last week were clearly a fluke. Or perhaps this is the inconsistency we should expect from the erstwhile Rainbow Warriors this season.
Having Pat Mahomes (yes, everyone altogether now, say "who?") hurl a complete game shutout and limit the team to 3 hits is just plain unacceptable. I'm pretty sure there are a few American Legion teams that would have been able to put up a 3-spot against this guy tonight.
Berkman -- could you possibly look any more lost at the plate?
Lee -- I notice your average has dropped about 100 points since you were chugging along well over .300 last week and knocking in runs every night.
Woody Williams finally had a quality start (1 out of every 5 is basically what you get these days for $6mln a year) but unfortunately for the Astros' SPs the offense is entering one of those stretches where someone forgot to give Jobu his rum because they are not hitting the straightball or curveball very well to borrow a phrase from Major League's Pedro Cerrano.
Oh and btw, it's official, the Pirates OWN us right now. Four in a row the Astros have dropped against the young Buccos.
