Yep. LOL. The Athletics are 10-0 against the Astros this year. But I expect Jarred Cosart to tame them tonight and get to 2-0 on the year.

I'm just as excited about Jarred Cosart as I was back in 2001 when Roy Oswalt took the league by storm as a rookie with a 14-3 record and 2.73 ERA. He had finished second in the 2001 NL rookie of the year voting behind Albert Pujols despite being called up in June of that year.

Jarred Cosart was called up right before the all-star break this year, making his second big league start tonight, so he has zero chance to win the 2013 AL rookie of the year award. But I do expect him to end the season close to 10 wins and an ERA under 3. Hopefully he has another impressive start tonight.

Tonight's game, I'll be cheering for an Astros win. I think we can win most of the starts that Cosart makes as a rookie.
We won his first start and that was the last game the team won. 6 losses in a row entering tonight. LOL
Once we call up Mark Appel, possibly on September 1, we're going to have two horses in the rotation.

I'm really excited for 2014 next year. Already have a countdown for spring training inside of my head.

Matt Dominguez error at third base allowed Lowrie to score.

Jarred Cosart gave up an unearned run in that top of the 1st. His ERA is still at 0.00 through 9 innings pitched in the big leagues.

Inb4 we lose 1-0 though. LOL

Jonathan Villar is looking good with the bat. He was called up before last night's game. Could be a nice stop-gap at shortstop until Carlos Correa is called up. I'm glad they finaly got rid of Ronny Cedeno who was useless. Villar, Altuve and Casto in the top three of the batting order is actually decent. Two of them have been all-stars before. They're all 1-for-1 tonight. Astros already tied it up and threatening to take the lead in the bottom of the 1st.

Astros down 2-1 in the bottom of the 5th. Cosart gave up his first big league earned run.
His ERA is up to 0.69 and he's in line for a loss. I'm losing faith in the kid already (sarcastic).
If we lose tonight we're going to drop to 0-11 this season against the Athletics.

All tied up 2-2. Alright. Let's get Cosart a win! Either 2-0 or he stays at 1-0 with a no-decision.

Jarred Cosart is walking off the field to a standing ovation in the middle of the 7th. He really battled tonight.
7 innings pitched (115 pitches), 1 earned run, 4 strikeouts. 7 hits allowed and 3 walks. Game is tied 2-2.
Astros have to score in the bottom of the 7th to give him a chance at the win. Two MLB starts and his ERA is at 0.60 (1 ER in 15 innings).

Damn. We stranded a runner on second base. An official no-decision for Jarred Cosart. 2-2 game after 7 innings.
Okay, we can lose now. I want the first overall pick next June. Marlins lead 3-2 over the Rockies in the top of the 8th.
We can pretty much run away with it if we lose tonight and the Marlins win tonight - would be 5 games ahead in the loss column.

Brandon Moss two-run homer. Athletics take a 4-2 lead in the top of the 8th. Our bullpen is pathetic.
About to be 0-11 versus Oakland this year. Way to go, 'Stros. At least Cosart came to play.

YES DOMINGUEZ!

plz sum walk-off astros.
