Former Baseball Prospectus prospect guru Kevin Goldstein now works for the Astros. In a tribute to perhaps his greatest literary work, I present tonight's Astros game recap in Haiku form.
Pregame:
The trees turn colors
In St. Louis, there's baseball.
When did Lohse get good?
First Inning:
Moore ground-rule double
Yet no other Astros hits.
Abad looks a-good.
Second Inning:
Bad play Martinez
Catchers should not get triples.
RBI for Cards
Third Inning:
Lohse is in control
Stros waste Dominguez double
Brett pops up again.
Fourth Inning:
Maxwell is gunned down,
Molina's throw on target.

Fifth Inning:
Another triple
Fifth Inning curse strikes again
Score Three to Zero
Sixth Inning:
Lohse wipes out on mound
Astros can't take advantage.
What did we expect?
Seventh Inning:
Yay! Two men on base.
But nothing doing for 'stros.
The Cards plate one though.
Eighth Inning:
RBI Wallace!
Hooray! There goes the shut-out!
I blame Boggs' bad hair.
Ninth Inning:
Just not a good game.
Fourteen Astros left on base.
Cards win 4 to 1.
