Although he had 2 bad starts, Wandy came in with a 2.97 ERA, he's been far from mediocre this year.

Whatever. 1 fucking run in that bandbox facing Wandy Rodriguez. Make excuses if you want--the offense sucked.

I'm not making excuses, the offense got shut down... but Wandy isn't some scrub like you are making him out to be, <!--fonto:verdana--><!--/fonto--><!--sizeo:2--><!--/sizeo-->since 2007 his ERA at Minute Maid Park is 2.75, and that was heading into tonight. <!--sizec-->

Well, if they had scored 2.75 runs, they would have won the game.

We never score off Wandy in Houston. We've faced him 5 times there since the start of 2006:
6/6/06 - 7.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 5 H
8/16/07 - 8.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 H
7/19/08 - 6.2 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 9 H
4/7/09 - 6.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 H
6/10/09 - 7.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 5 H

This belief around here that Wandy sucks (not just you Lance, it's been many people over the last couple years) is just flat out wrong. No, he doesn't have fantastic stuff, and he pitches better against the Cubs than the rest of the league it seems, but he's still a very good pitcher, especially at home. The Cubs shouldn't be pounding him around like people seem to think.

I don't think it's out of the question to expect us to score 2-3 runs against this douche, at least once in a blue moon. I think that was Lance's point.
