Why do people act like a 2-0 5th inning lead is insurmountable?

Show me a post, any post, where somebody said 2-0 was insurmountable.

Face's point was a lot of posters here bet the Astros.

I bet the Astros, but I don't feel comfortable with their bullpen unless it's 6-0

[Mr KLC]

Look at those Astros!!! HUSTLE!!! HUSTLE!!! HUSTLE!!!

[TCU]

Crapshoot, Cruz and Kinsler both screwing up there. Could be embarrassing start for Texas now.

[You mad bro]

lol in the conversation on espn for this game all the texas fans are saying losing hamilton and napoli isnt a big deal .. smh

Savvy bettors took Stros tonight , Nash. We tried to warn them hrs before the game or at least I did.

[bubblebuttluv]

Bring in the relievers, this guy is done.

[Mr KLC]

You can tell that John Kruk doesn't want to be there.

[You mad bro]

lol texas down 4-0 .. such overrated pussies

[Colin Kaepernick]

Texas bats need to wake up. This is ridiculous.

[Mr KLC]

Well, at least Carter didn't strike out this time.

[stevenash]

He's an asshole.
I saw a live taping at Letterman's show in NYC, his first year at CBS, think it was 1993, anyway, the lead guest was Michael Myers, the musical guest was Belinda Carlyle, and Kruk was the last guest, he got like the final six minute slot.
Terrible, totally disinterested guest.

Savvy betters passed on the game.

Game tying 3 run bomb awaits

[stevenash]

I remember when Bedard used to be good.
One out, can you do that for me, just one out, make my night!

[texhooper]

i'm on the "texans" and i suck at baseball so get some rangers while you can.

haha, i meant to say get some astros. and i was right too, i'll lose this, of course.

I was so close to betting on Texas, but I came to the conclusion I would pass on a side...

Ended up betting over 8.5.. I think its got a real good chance b/c of bullpens.. what does everyone else think?

At this point in time of the game, 1 on 1 out in the bottom of the sixth, with these two 'pen, I say between 55 and 60 percent there will be nine or more runs.

[Tofudog]

Thanks man I was thinking the same thing. I definitely respect your opinion. Not only is Nash my favorite sports player of all time but I think baseball is your sport. 3 RUN HOME RUN!!!!!!!

How is Derek Lowe still anywhere on an mlb roster???

[stevenash]

Lock it up.
Nice to start the season with a +140 winner.

[ebbearsfb1]

lol.. the more you watch baseball the more its a head shaker of how some gas cans are still around

[stevenash]

How is Derek Lowe still anywhere on an mlb roster???

30 teams, 11 man pitching staffs, do the math.
The pitching pool is more like a puddle. Not enough pitching to go around.
How does Randy Choate have a job still? The list is endless.

[easyliving]

nice to start the season with a win many more to come hopefully

[face]

nice call

lyle lovett should sing all the astros games, still great voice

[stevenash]

Hang around a few of the veteran posters in this thread. They'll make you money. Not say all the picks are winners, but they'll make you money.

[Big Bear]

FUKK ME!!

Andrus just got robbed of a double by the umps. Wow. Tough call in real time.....but, damn!

a 2 out single. Probably wouldnt have made a difference but yeah he was robbed.

i guess Andrus does have the speed to have scored on a double by Berkman though.

Still lots of baseball left. but hopefully the astros bullpen doesnt blow this.

I think I could hold my own, I had a solid season last year and hope to add on to it this year.

[Mr KLC]

Bedard is looking reborn out there.

Agree wholeheartedly. I have to admit I liked Texas. MLB is a long marathon though, One day doesn't mean much.
