The Astros say they just have to move on.. GOOD OR BAD?
Jose Valverde blew one big time against the Tigers Sunday. A sure win gets away after Valverde walks a batter and then serves up a two run shot to Brandon Inge in the top of the 9th.. Cecil Cooper came in and said what I expected this loss hurt and it should. The players on the other hand told me a loss is a loss and its over, time to move on to the next series.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I know the Astros can't beuse to losing, not in this fashion. Or is it good that they're playing some good ball and it is just a bump in the road. Let's hope for the later because they have steadied the ship and they are right in the thick of the NL Central race. I was shocked by the sudden loss, the players by the time we got in the locker room were already thinking about tomorrow's game against the Padres.
