But is stranded there as Matsui, Berkman and Lee do nothing.

Brewers will hit several home runs off Brandon Backe. Letys hope they are wrong.

Astros have a chance to make up some ground (I know – it doesn’t matter in the big picture – but it would make me feel better.)

I don’t know his whole History, But he’s been around awhile and has won two World Series rings (with National League teams no less – Florida and Arizona)

I was all for them this past week when they were playing the cardinals.

in the past week. whether by hit or BB, it’s been a nice change. hope he keeps it up.

needs to pad his stats

Goes to third on a fly to right

2 run homer.

tied at 2 … for now

Miguel Tejada was on base after his second single of the game.

Pence jacks the first pitch he sees into deep left.

3-2 stros

3-2 Astros

solid contact line drive that ray durham should have caugh on the line, but he fumbled it and it trickled into center.

promptly thrown on stealing.

both played here in Birmingham for AA Birmingham Barons. I think they were teammates but I’m unsure about that.

Now they are teammates for the Brewers.

Miggy gets another chance

early in the game.. just got home… hopefully me watching the game doesn’t doom them like normal

cooper is a GENIUS!

slumping Puma up w/ 2 on, 2 out

4-2 Astros

:p

walks counsell to put 2 on w/ Braun up now.

lead looks v. shaky at this point

there was a force at third, you know, the base you were running right towards.

low throw to Berkman still gets braun, Backe holds the line.

two hits in a row. been a while.

we’re going to use up all our hits tonight.

Counsell saved a run by gloving it before it got to the OF, but it’s an infield hit w/ no throw. 1st and 3rd, 1 out.

and Q grounds into DP.

Cooper is an IDIOT!

any information you can give on the game from time to time is helpful. Looks good so far.

right ankle. turned it on the 2nd base bag trying to take out 2nd baseman on DP.

he went out to CF apparently and the first shot of the telecast back from commercial was him walking back to the dugout. Bourn looks pissed.

hopefully just day to day. wasn’t limping too terribly, if at al

He’s hurting enough to have Jose Cruz run out to him. On replay it looked like he caught his spikes in the bag and twisted his body toward center field.

Commnedtaor say ankle ,. I thought knee.

When He tried to run to center he turned around and lefr the field.

in almost medium CF.

and busted it all the way across

they rule it a hit JD says. Like Durham’s drop on bourn, it prob should have been an error.

Coop is double switching, Geary to pitch and Wigginton to 3rd.

erstad replaced Bourn btw

cameron up, 1st and 2nd, 1 out

(thought it was gone when he hit it, but must’ve got it off the end of the bat)

runners hold, 1st and 2nd, 2 out

but we got him. inning over.

wigginton leads off

Thought I could work and watch the game at the same time .

Silly me.

I’ll watch the Astros bat and take it home.

4 for 4!

single to right center.

w/ 2 outs, after Wigginton and Matsui made outs that combined went about 150 feet.

Hit #1400

runners at 1st and 2nd, 2 out.

puma’s gotten some base hits the past few games, perhaps breaking out of his slump. I wasn’t able to pay close attention, but they’re still mostly singles. Need the slugging to come back.

Carlos Lee can do some damage here.

double switched Kapler to CF, so I guess cameron left. wasn’t paying attention.

Lee flies to left to end the inning.

top of the lineup now

At least Gagne was warming up so he might come in. :p

Prince Fielder is fat

on Newhan’s ground ball

Pence grounded to 3rd.

erstad up

both hot and not enough positions to play both of them. i think I should trade Hardy for something before he cools off.

Thoughts?

off brocail.

ground rule into brewers bullpen.

man on 2nd, no out.
