Yesterday and last night i went on a complete playing games mission as. So im a little ahead of yall for the time being but im here to catch you guys up to where im at.
When we left off we won the first 3 games of the series against the Phillies. Game 4 was just one of those games to where no matter what happened nobody in the stadium felt comfortable. We was able to take a 4-3 lead into the 8th before the Phillies jumped all over our bullpen scoring 4 runs in the 8th and 3 more in the 9th going on to win 10-6.
That brings us to the St. Louis series. Game 1 was a game to forget as we lost 11-8 on the Arm of Lyles as he just got rocked and jerked from the game by the 4th inning. He has just not provided much for us on the year and just simply dont know if he will be back with us for next year. Game 2 of the series was a very strong outing for Weiland as he went 6.2 innings of shutout ball giving up 5 hits. The Astros werent able to get much offense going for majority of the game as we were able to squeeze out only 1 run out of Westbrook but was able to pull out with the 1-0 win. Oh i forgot to mention, in that game, Weiland helped his self out by hitting a solo homerun for there only run of the game. No big deal huh? like a boss. Game 3 the Astros won 4-2 off a strong outing from Galarraga, going 8 innings of 2 run ball. Abreu came in for the save to take the series.
Up next the pirates came to town for a 3 game set. This was a series i just don't want to talk about as the Pirates took the first two games of the series but we was able to avoid the sweep by taking game 3 by a score of 10-2.
St. Louis comes to town for another 3 game set. We took 2 out of 3 against the Cards and we got Schafer back, so hopefully he can create some runs for us.
Next up we went on to Milwaukee. The Astros are just to strong for there own good right now as the take 2 of 3 from the Brewers.
That brings us to today. 3 games left and its a 3 game series against the Cubbies.
So you might be asking yourself, what does the playoff picture look like? Well im here to show you
