Michael Bourn Steals 2 Bases On Pickoff Throws To Support Bud Norris' 4th Win
Bud Norris, The PCL Pitcher Of The Year, started his 7th ML game, this time with JR Towles catching him. I know he had skipped a start, but there was one significant difference today - he walked NOBODY and had all but one of his borderline pitches called strikes, ESPECIALLY the high...

Other than Michael Bourn and Wandy Rodriguez, one of the best under-the-radar stories of the Astros 2009 season was the major league debut of Bud Norris. It wasn't quite sparkling, marred by a four game slump, but his other six starts showed a lot of promise, especially...
Michael Bourn Receives His First Intentional Walk Of His Astros Career
Yeah, I know.
I'm having a Good Ol Time with the headlines here.
But how often do leadoff guys with no power get walked? Answer - when Darin "groundout" Erstad is batting second. Yes, you read that right. Erstad and his .125 BA in the 2-hole.
No Pence, no Blum (hurt...

Twas a Dog Day afternoon - literally. It was hot and moistly still outside the ballpark and hot and mostly empty INside the ballpark on the first - bring your Dog to the ballpark - game. No Dogs in the seats, at least not yet, and no guys Dogging it on the basepaths or anywheres else...
Astros Pitchers Continue Triumphant Slide Into Supreme Suckage
Well, why not start off with what little good news there was from this embarassing game:
1 - Michael Bourn hit 2 changeups and, in fact, hit the second off the RF wall. 5' higher and it would have been out. He almost managed to catch another ball on the Hill, but it fell for a...

The Bourn Slugger Propels Brian Moehler Over Twins
Slugger Bourn stood at the plate waving his Thunderstick, his gaudy .298 average glinting off the Dome's pristeen white. Stood ready, waiting, for one of those rare strikes thrown past a man of his feared, no, terrifying reputation. Senn Henn, he of large testicles and small brain...

Bourn, and especially Shane Victorino will steal a ton of bags this season. We really, really believe in Victorino, dubbed the "Flyin' Hawaiian."

Roy Oswalt Done Gone And Throwed An Ace Game And All He Brung Home Was Another No Decision
Michael Bourn stole his 50th base of the year in the first, after singling. Kaz, Berkman and Lee left him there. That boy done got his little self stranded on third more times this year than my kids ask me for junk that they KNOW they ain't gonna get when we go to the ballpark...
Paulino Gives Up One Run And Pirates Break Their 14 Game Away Losing Streak
Paulino had an interesting game - lasted 5 innings, gave up 6 singles, 7 K, 1 walk and 1 run. He had all his pitches working, but tended to overthrow a LOT. He went to SEVEN 3-2 counts then gave up 3 singles, 2 FO, 1 K and 1 walk - and the pitches thrown for the 3 singles and 2 FO...

Actually, it's the first time that Roy has beaten the Cubs all year, since he mowed them down in a 4 hit shutout (with Valverde getting the last 2 outs with 2 on) exactly 1 year ago. It was such an incredibly dominating start that a few of my C*b friend fans (yes, I can't hold...
