Of course you just said this…

When was the last team he played shortstop? How often has he played there?

Anyone know the Astros record when he starts?

He walks his first at bat today.

3-0 Astros . I guess it is good he bats in front of Wigginton.

while someone goes into the locker room to find Michaal Bourn’s sunglasses!

Lead off double for Pirates

Runner still on 2d base with 2 outs. Just when you think they have done a good job to get out of trouble, they give up the run.

Well, Moehler doesn’t follow that pattern. He gets the 3d out.

Welcome Back!

You guys hold the lead until I get home, okay.

Going into the 3rd

in response to Browning stating that Van Benschoten once had surgery on both shoulders

“I wonder how he ate”

So he decides to strike out here

JD mentions that Sheryl Crow will be singing the National Anthem and Brownie responds with “Is Madonna going to be there” and JD and Brownie both start laughing…

as Moehler has given up 2 runs with 2 outs.

Pirates have 4 extra base hits(3 doubles and a triple) and only 1 single.

his 13th of the season

put a hit and run on with Michael Bourn at the plate… it just makes your runner look like a total jackass getting thrown out at 2nd..

Bourn came up empty and Wiggy slid short of 2d base, flopping around like a beached whale.

That 4-0 lead when I left work is down to 4-3 lead. Too close for comfort.

Astros could not score in the first 5 innings then they poured it on in the last 3 or 4.

It seems lately they score early and don’t score anymore after the fifth inning.

is 0-1 today with 2 walks at the plate..

0-3 on the night, 2 outs with runners on 1st and 2nd

No outs

looked like he was probably safe, but the out call is payment for him not sliding at home.. if he woud have slid, it would have been an easy safe call.

The Pirates’ pitcher must be thanking his lucky stars that he won’t get a “L” tonight.

Stealing 2nd base for the 2nd time tonight

Pirates stranded 2.

There’s a calmer feel to this game than in the previous three.

when he can eaaily steal the base?

Pence gets an RBI by grounding out to 3rd

Mark Loretta batting for Moehler hits the ball about three feet. The catcher throws to third but Bourn beats it . . Astros have runners at the corners with one out.

Michael Bourn scores

Astros 5 Pirates 4

Double into the gap.

As Matsui doubles scoring Loretta from 2nd

again

One man on

Feeling confident
