Hey Now, You're An All-Star
The Triple-A All-Star game is less than a month away, and as it stands right now, no RedHawks look like possibilities to be starters. There's less than a week left to vote, so make sure you head over and make your voice known.
Travel My Way, It's the Highway That's the Best
The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office is sponsoring the Road To The Show (see what they did there?), where one lucky winner will receive four tickets to the August 18 Astros-Rangers game, airfare, and a one night stay in a luxury hotel. For any of you who live in the area, you may want to drop by and enter.
One Step Closer
Three Astros draftees will be playing in the semi-finals of the College World Series, as Brian Holberton helped North Carolina knock off NC State, 7-0; and Jake Rodriguez's Oregon State ended Indiana's Cinderella season, 1-0.
Rodriguez was 0-for-3 in his game on Wednesday night. He had 2 strikeouts... but he also drove in the game's only run on a sacrifice fly. Oregon State will take on Mississippi State today.
Kent Emanuel had the night off for the TarHeels, but Astros prospect watchers still had Holberton, who once again played catcher and went 0-for-4 with a run, a walk, and a strikeout. He scored his run - on a Michael Russell sacrifice fly in the fourth inning to put the Heels up 1-0 - in part thanks to an excellent slide on a play at the plate, which Tim De Block has generously converted into .GIF format for your viewing pleasure:
