Can the Astros go to 11? NO

by Bob Timmermann

Houston is hosting Cincinnati tonight and must win to avoid matching a franchise record 11-game losing streak.

The Astros dropped 11 straight from August 17-28, 1995. Woody Williams takes on Bronson Arroyo to avoid bringing back memories of the halcyon days of Terry Collins.

Astros win 10-2.

hey bob, i was idly thinking today and came up with the following query:

so when aaron hill stole home off of andy pettitte the other day, and pettitte threw the ball to posada to try and get him out... did that count as a pitch? if not, why not?

It depends if Pettitte stepped off the rubber before he threw.

[3] ah, thanks. he must've on the rubber when hill went, so i would imagine he just threw as soon as he saw the play... perhaps i should check mlb.tv

The newspaper stories said that Pettitte stepped off. That's also why Posada was standing in front of the plate when Hill scored.

Posada would have been guilty of catcher's interference if it had been a pitch.

yeah, it wasn't a pitch. pettitte took a tiny step back before he threw.
