Guest Hollinger. Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 ESPN showed the ninth inning (cut away from Tigers/White Sox), and I noticed that both teams were wearing their alternate jerseys (red for the 'Stros and blue for the Cubbies) and both were wearing the road gray pants. I imagine UniWatch will comment on it tomorrow. I don't think I've ever seen a game where both teams wore road uniforms, although it makes sense here, even though technically Houston was the home team. I believe it was mentioned early in the game that the Astros players wore their road jerseys as a small protest. Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 A no-hitter is a no-hitter, even if the "home" team isn't really home. I guess Z's rotator cuff must not hurt too badly. Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 NO hitter zambranoI thought about going to this game with my brother-in-law, who is a Cubs fanatic, but chose instead to be lazy. Perhaps my one chance at seeing one in person... I'll be kicking myself for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 that's cool, but now it means I'll have to hear about it all day from our advisor tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I believe it was mentioned early in the game that the Astros players wore their road jerseys as a small protest. They're protesting a hurricane? Good luck with that, 'Stros. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Oney Guillen (one of Ozzie's sons) ended his rapid ascent through the White Sox farm system yesterday when he retired. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/G/Oney-Guillen.shtml He sucked at every level. Well, except for his one game at AAA. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I believe it was mentioned early in the game that the Astros players wore their road jerseys as a small protest.They also took the visiting dugout and locker room. Zambrano looked great. If he could only have 12 days between every start! Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 UniWatch speculated that, since following the games in Milwaukee the Astros go on a road trip, they wore the grays so they wouldn't have to bring an extra set of pants along with them. Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Acres Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Often you'll see a pitcher who is working on a no-hitter do his best to conceal his emotions. Fun to see Zambrano callling off the catcher and first-baseman on a foul pop-up, catching the ball and pumping his fists, and then to see him bounce the 2-2 pitch with 2 out in the 9th... he's always worn his emotions on his sleeve, and this was no exception. He's got such great stuff; I'm surprised that he hasn't pitched a no-no before this. Link to post Share on other sites

Twisted Acres Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 16 games over .500 with two weeks left in the regular season, good chance you're going to the playoffs... so you fire your manager. Granted, they're in a swoon, but I'm puzzled. Guess they expect the shock the players back to life somehow. Link to post Share on other sites
Moe_Syzlak Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 You know I was sitting in the Vegas airport bar talking to a guy from Milwaukee last night and he said he thought Yost would get the axe. I was incredulous. Yeah they're in free fall, but that seems crazy to me. Link to post Share on other sites

Granted, they're in a swoon, but I'm puzzled. Guess they expect the shock the players back to life somehow.Is this not their second (maybe third) straight Sept. swoon? They went from being a dead-lock for the wild card to being tied with Philly, whom they could not beat this weekend. Might as well fire him now and see if it works. Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I like Yost but don't think it was too dumb to fire him -- as Bjorn said, this is their second straight late season dive. Plus, Yost has a reputation as a good guy for young players but a little too complacent with the veterans. I'm sure Sveum can do just as well. Link to post Share on other sites
