Houston Astros at Atlanta Braves, 6:10 PM CDT

Wigginton and Loretta have to be among the slowest 1-2 hitter combination of all time.

And he is mad at ump about it. Umpire made questionable calls. Deshais said that if strike 3 is a strike now, then he might think about making a pitching comeback.

that the Astros starting pitcher has had a lead.. pathetic

Drove in Lee from 2d, who was chugging along and beat a bad throw.

Speed unneeded indeed. Both Loretta and Lee might have been thrown out with great throws, but the throws were bad in each case.

Looked like he was about to give up on baseball.

Fortunatley, the Braves do not score.

You know what’s funny. Chacon might have started today if he had not thrown all his hissy fits. :p

Radio guys talking about Ausmus’s bat.

:)

Wigginton and Ausmus score on a line drive double to right center

The new Carlos Lee McFarlane figure came out recently.

Pick it up at your local Toys R Us for $10.99.

No runs through 5.. damnit, I forgot to put him in my fantasy team :(

2 straight doubles!

Behind Poojuice if he doesn’t get another hit soon.

for the second time today.

Also has a chance for a double play ball.

Then back to the good ole offenseless astros.

Starts and ends a double play.

and bases are loaded.

maybe the Astros should look into it.

Astros now lead 6-1 on Loretta’s clutch hit over 3d base.

Astros batting with the bases loaded and two outs, Loretta batting.

Loretta can put this game out of reach.

HE DOUBLES – drive in tow mor eruns .

Astros lead 6-1

to load the bases again, this time for Carlos Lee.

Cubs and Pirates lost.

Reds tied 1-1 late

sometimes you worry about closers in non-save situations. But it was a no sweat 9th inning.

as Chipper Jones strikes out to end the game.

STAT OF THE GAME
