Atlanta Braves at Houston Astros, Sep 9, 2009 7:05 PM CDT

for Wandy in the first inning

Astros go weakly in the bottom of the first.

Nice little pitching matchup indeed.

walk
runner to second on ground out
Single to right that Pence clanked and runner on second scored

Next batter also hit to Pence in right who traps it and forces runner at second (but wild throw to second – luckily runner stayed at first and was easy out)

Miguel Tejada sharp GIDP

keeps batting

and GIDP

Stole second

in the field and at bat

Geoff Blum – left leg contusion – on way to hospital

Chris Johnson pops out to first

pops up to 1b…

blum to hospital with x-rays on leg?

just started watching game…what happened?

Chris Johnson got his first AB….a pop up. Blum going to hospital and Johnson will take his place.

nice throw to 1st…tejada giving him some advice after…

Third highest batting average in NL with runners in scoring position

singles down the middle…

has grounded out to middle infielders three times today

Wandy to third

He’s washed up – no home runs in two months! DFA the free loader!! You hear that, Berkman? You’re over the hill!

smashes on to 2nd, knocks down prado…made the play, lance out at 1st…

Knocks the second baseman on his back, but he gets up to toss Berkman out

Astros do not score

After 7 innings,
Braves 1 Astros 0

and are on the verge of winnig both of them

I assume that means he’s out of the game

Chris Coste catching

Maybe Roy was talking about THEM the other day.

it was 9:09 on 9-09-09

trailing 1-0
Rafael Soriano pitching

Bases loaded, Tejada batting in 9th with 1 out. He hits a bouncing ball up the middle…not hit hard with 50 bounces…and it gets through and 2 runs score.

Matsui singled
Berkman doubled
Lee IBB
Tejada singled up the middle
Berkman runs head down as hard as he can

Who knows what that t-shirt is about? Oh, and good job with the interview even though I understood about a third of it.
