While Joe "The Astros Are Racist" Morgan was blithering about how Brad Lidge had good stuff:
Cairo hit a single
Ludwick walked
Pujols singled, scoring one
Ankiel jacks a triple. scoring two
Game over.
The day before, Lidge faced down Pujols and... um... walked him.
*sheesh*
Folks, if Brad Lidge is in an Astros uniform next year, Cecil Cooper won't be for long.
Think Cecil put two and two together when he was Crapiron's Right Hand Man?
"To me, he's our closer and will be our closer," Cooper said of Lidge. "I think his stuff is still good. I have no doubt that he'll run out there and he'll be the guy. He'll be the guy that he was in '04 and '05, and he'll be good. "
Nope. And the fact that he doesn't have Jason Lane out parking cars while he evaluates some of the kids in the 40-man mob on the bench doesn't speak well of his future either.
Yeah, Timmy Poo and Crapiron promised Jason that he could put on his Astros underoos and go play with the big kids.
Doesn't mean he get a bat, a glove, and time out there on the field, right?
