San Francisco Giants at Houston Astros, 7:05 PM CDT

This is looking like a loss to me before the game even starts. Hope I’m wrong.

has he done it yet this year? off to bb-reference

Randy Winn, I think… ugh.

At 2nd. wooo!

don’t know half these guys.

K’s the 2nd batter (Ochoa?)

He gets the ob done and he’s got heart.

That doesn’t seem fair.

Maybe he’ll have home plate when Wolf pitches. That would be a hoot.

Mets (wildcard chase) lost

has some rainbow on his throws. I guess neither was a particularly fast runner, so maybe he wasn’t bearing down.

I’m sitting here eating at the computer and watching the Astros game(setting a good example for my 2 yr old) and my son says “Go Astros, Go Astros” like the video I linked last week… so he turns to me and says “Daddy, say Go Astros” so I did, and then he says “Don’t talk with food in your mouth”....

not sure if Backe dragged his toe on the bag long enough

That’s a tough play for a 2nd basemen, ranging WAY to his left and running and throwing to 1st.

after losing adam jones for the season, now Evan Longoria is on the 15 day d/l w/ a wrist injury.

but this old guy is a blast

leads to a bobble and a run score. prob scores anyway, but can’t tell

Ball hit on the ground to left, Wigginton bobbles and fires towards home allowing the runner to score…. The throw is cut off and thrown to 2nd to get the runner for out 3…

Astros down 1-0

Runner scored

For the tie

1st Astros baserunner?

has averaged a run an inning since the All-Star break, going 0-3 in the time.

Today he has a no-hitter through 4 innings

Althought, MLB.com says we got a run in the 3rd… Unfortunately, that mistake isn’t carried over to the real game.

when Bourn looked up I thought it was gone

blast from the past.

I hate it when I have to start hoping for the Astros to break up a no-no.

they expect Lee to be out 6-8 weeks… in case you hadn’t heard the time table for him.

Q!!!!!

now Sanchez muffs a little dribbler and it goes for a hit too. maybe Sanchez was distracted by the lost no hitter.

2 grounds out and a foul pop out

coming here.

calling it

Adam Everett just took the Aruban Knight (Ponson) deep

may have overthrown that curve just a tad

Despite the low throw by B. Backe

| | far from being a home run

crazy

best outcome with him up to bat

Helluva game by Backe.

1-1 with a walk and a run scored

7 IP, 4 hits, 1 ER, 3 walks and 6 strike outs. Leaves with a chance to be the winning pitcher

Too bad they don’t carry very far

FTW!

nice job bourn

and then what was loretta doing. at least let bourn try to draw a rundown between 2nd and 3rd and then break for home

Stop sign at 3rd for Loretta, but Bourn isn’t paying attention and runs to third… Loretta decides to take off since Bourn is starting a run down and gets tagged out heading towards home…

Stupid play by Bourn

Speed does you no good if you don’t THINK on the base paths.

Wow…

This one IS photoshopped… albeit weakly by yours truly

Looks like he’s got a live arm…

So I guess that means that they won’t be retiring the Rocket’s number anytime soon…

What was the Yankees’ problem with him?

Home run!!! Astros up 3-0

Wigginton has ALL of the RBI’s.

3 rbi’s tonight

after looking terrible in his first 3 AB’s

Lets go Lance

must have entered Wiggy’s body

What a bum.

3-1

just won a 200 meter freestyle race by two body lengths at the Oympics. He’s good.

He should have pulled the trigger

I’ve never seen a pitcher grab a catchers shoulder so… affectionately

you strike out…

You should be required to take your bat back to the dugout and put it up your damn self..

in 100 meter backstroke – world record time

.500
Sooner than expected

Astros win their 5th straight, this on 3-1 with Valverde getting the save.

Astros back to .500!!!!!

Means big potato…

We’re Mediocre! Better than sucking ass…

but that seemed like a new “whirling dervish” move.

mentions the hardest part of playing LF is having to jog out there every inning.. it’s a long way out there

are usually dressed more casually. both sporting suits tonight.

like JD’s shirt/tie combo
