Astros send Lidge, Bruntlett to Phillies
Closed Published by lambo@astrocast.net (Lambo and Sketkar) November 8th, 2007 on AstroCastHello,
According to Astros.com, Brad Lidge will no longer be the Astros closer. Let the cheering begin. I know I can remove a certain nasty “quick text” from my cell ( F**king Lidge! ). And if he thought he got boo-ed here in Houston, ha! wait until he get some of the authentic Phillie lovin’. Anyways, […]
For Those Who Wanted Lamb
Closed Published by lambo@astrocast.net (Lambo and Sketkar) May 18th, 2007 on AstroCastOkay…
Let me first say, we should be glad that we took the series against the Giants. The key of being a playoff team is winning each series and the Astros accomplished this task. However, Roy O pitching against a rookie, you should like our team’s chances for a sweep.

I hope Wallace succeeds, because when Brad is right, he is the best closer […]
Mike Lamb Resigns With The Club
Closed Published by lambo@astrocast.net (Lambo and Sketkar) January 16th, 2007 on AstroCastThe Astros avoided arbitration with Mike Lamb when he agreed to one year contract for 2.7 million. I’m personally happy about this signing. I think Lamb is a valuable left-handed bat to come off the bench. He can play both third and first if needed.
The Astros have four players that remain available […]
ZUCHT! I can’t take it anymore!!!!!!!!
Closed Published by lambo@astrocast.net (Lambo and Sketkar) July 31st, 2006 on AstroCastIf there ever was a game that summed up problems with our Houston Astros, it was yesterday’s. Usually, we have come to expect our offense to become more catatonic than they normally are when Roger pitches. Now in this game, they finally score for him, and we should cruise to victory, the bullpen […]
