Jose Capellan is today's Astros pitcher (and batter - he just singled to start the third).
Pudge Rodriguez and Lance Berkman are not in the lineup today.

Strong wind is a factor in game
Radio guys think the wind even affects infield throws. Nationals shortstop commits HIS third error of the game.
Considering how hard the wind is bloing, Bourn’s running catch of a ball sailing away from him seems all that much more impressive.
Astros do not score in the fourth.
Still lead 3-2

Don't blame Pudge
He was not with the team. He did nt make the road trip – stayed back to work with Wandy.

That's why I am blaming him.
He should have been here so we could win.
