Houston Astros at Texas Rangers, 7:05 PM CDT
Houston Astros @ Texas Rangers
BATTLE FOR THE BOOT!!!!
Erstad looks like he's going to get some starts in this series at 1st base and in left field while Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman DH. If Erstad does well in this series and Bourn continues to be a terrible hitter... Then it might be time to start giving Erstad some more playing time and cut down on Bourn's.

Matsui doubles...
Hamilton makes a running catch in deep centerfield, but can’t hold on to the ball when he hits the ground.

Berkman flies out at the left field wall
and Kinsler pretty much repeats that performance when the Rangers come up to bat.

Ok, did Matsui forget how to field his position?
How many errors does he have this year? 8?

Pence tosses a foul pall up to an Astros fan ...
he can’t make the catch and a Rangers fan snags the ball.

Looks like
Chacon’s giving the Stros a challenge to try and preserve his no-decision.
Ten bucks we tie it and Hamilton hits a massive walk-off shot off, let’s say, Villareal.

Ponson done after 5
and giving up 7 runs.
See? told you he was no good. :p
He is only charged with 3 earned runs, which is pretty much a joke since it’s HIS error that did and we pretty much had to give him the last out. :p

It was remotely my fault
I think they took it the wrong way.
I basically introduced myself as a Stros fan who gave up on the Rangers after they signed A-Rod.
Oh wait, I think they rectified it. Or it was some SBNation bug.

Pence tried to throw out Kinsler
at the plate and to the Astros dugout, it looked like Towles got him since the arm kind of went between the legs, but the feet got there first. Cooper jumped around yelling about it, but didn’t appear to be rude about it in any way, but Angel Hernandez tossed him anyways because he’s a dick and that’s what he does best.

See I don't particularly see Bourn and Towles
as shitty players. Maybe they didn’t sparkle the minute their rookie selves put on the uniform like Pence, but both warrant sticking around and might become decent one of these days. Wiggy and Villareal… Wade’s good getting relief guys and there’s gotta be a third baseman looking for work, right?
