Happy Birthday, Roy
Drayton and Roy's agents powwowed twice today, and there's an announcement coming at this evening's game that is likely the re-upping of his contract.
Well, game's over. Jason "Slam" Lane as the player of the game? (I still think he sucks) I'd say Adam Freaking Everett for actually getting a hit with bases loaded to take the lead.
Willy's streak is over in a hail of plunks.
Qualls 3 up 3 down (2Ks and Fielder grounded out) and... gets the win? So much nicer than a blown save, dontcha think?
Turnbow continues to be poison for the Astros. (Only Ausmus has a hit off him this year)
UPDATE:
KFOX in El Paso:
Roy Oswalt allowed four hits and three runs through seven innings for the Astros, and after the game received a five-year contract extension worth $73 million with an option for a sixth year. The right-hander, who posted back-to- back 20-win seasons in 2004 and 2005, struck out seven and walked one.
Oswalt's extension came on his 29th birthday. His extension includes a full no-trade provision. He'll receive $13 million in both 2007 and '08, $14 million in 2009, $15 million in 2010 and $16 million in 2011. The option year is for $16 million, while there is a $2 million buyout.
"There's more bragging about playing for this club than any other club," Oswalt said. "Even the guys that play for the big market clubs. It's like a family."
Beats the crap out of a bulldozer, eh?
