Pittsburgh Pirates at Houston Astros, 7:05 PM CDT

should have been a double.

although, the SOUND on the replay sounded like metal, but it’s hard to say w/ sound. who knows where the mikes are, the acoustics, etc

The ball seemed to hit the railing in left and bounced back onto the field.

Anyway Pirates 1 Astros 0 , no outs in the top of the first.

c’mon jack, prove us all right who’ve been pulling for you this year.

2 K’s in the inning is nice.

It’s tough beyond comprehension, but i guess it’s fun to watch train-wrecks every once in a while (I witnessed the one in the ninth last night about 20 rows away.) We got Randy Wolf today, but I’m interested in the possibility of Wade signing Freddy Garcia. Anybody heard anything?

just gave up a hr into Ruggles (or whatever it’s called now)

that mcclouth guy is good.

Astros looking for their first hit.

Have averaged about 3 runs per game since the All Star break.. if that.

trying to jinx this guy

close call as to whether that was fair or foul. haven’t seen a good replay. it’s probably one that you had to call in the air as it crossed the bag. I don’t think it bounced fair after the bag.

hockey style mask w/ nice paint job

right behind home? guys that don’t bathe shouldn’t get those kinda seats.

a good throw has some chance to turn the DP there.

still good to get the out.

they only got to 3rd base.

stop and watch it bounce down the line a while, why don’t ya?

and the perfect game, with a solid line drive hit over short

to break up the perfect game.

i realize they’re playing for the DP, but he was WAY up the middle. high hopper still made it impossible to turn it.

1st and 2nd w/ 2 out for miggy.

miggy is WAY overdue for a big, important hit. think Brownie said he was 3-46 w/ RISP.

he hits it hard sometimes, but not often enough

no runs

anyone think that will last past tomorrow?

nice throw by Q, definitely got him shows the replay… Ump calls him safe though..

but ump called him safe. he was in bad position to see lance’s tag on the runner’s hip.

lance, unfortunately, did not jump up and down, which would have been fun

As soon as Q got hit with the bat, Ausmus jumped on getting Q to use the new style of helmet

what a surprise.

Pirate guy hits a ball to the wall, Pence gets it back in and the guy stopped before he got to 2nd. Miggy gets the ball and they run down the runner between 1st and 2nd, while the lead runner stayed putat 3rd.

2 outs, runner on 3rd.

pirates brain fart.

5-0 pirates

chad paronto a.k.a. Man Mountain on to pitch

between paronto, brocail, valverde, and runelvys, we’ve got a bunch of linebackers for pitchers.

he gets the final out ona fly ball.

5-0 in the middle of 5

but 2b fields the one hopper for the out. it’s the moral victories at this point

but foul

it’ll make web gems i’m sure.

2 down in the 6th.

at least this game is going faster than last night.

whatever they call it.

saw this on the brewer’s board, but Time Warner cable is doing a free preview of the mlb games.

talking cherry pit spitting.

Looks like it’s going to miss most of us, but you know how hurricane’s are.

I wonder who he’s rooting for…

Whoopie!

train track shot by doumit (i think). 3 run HR

i’m swiitching back and forth between Cards-Brewers and Cubs-Dbacks

to lead off the 7th..

source is supposedly Rasmus’ dad, who posts on another msg board.

pence hits it off the wall in left.

how did Puma get on? I missed it.

although it was from the RH side.

mcclouth was prob safe.

guess it makes up for that missed pickoff earlier.

... that is, after he was dead.

JD & Brownie have kept me entertained tonight.

this time in the 9th, to put the Brewers ahead of the cards 4-3 in the top of the 9th. they have to try to hold on again.

fitting that this game and last night’s come when the Astros make a trade “to make a run at it”.

maybe we can salvage one tomorrow. our ace is going, so we should be fine.

8-2 bucs

8-2 is the final.

goodnight America, wherever you are.

I called my mother and while talking with her I missed most of this game. It ain’t pretty now in Astroland.
