Hey, Jose scores but that was probably 10 minutes ago.

A catcher shouldn't get in the ump's face and start bitching with a lead in the 8th.

T8:

Reynolds on the mound for the Snakes

Rasmus homers to RCF

That's it for Reynolds, Hernandez in

Lowrie, pinch hitting for Valbuena...walks
Carter bounces back to the mound, but the pitcher can grab it clean, can only go to 1B as Lowrie moves to 2B
Marisnick strikes out swinging, but strike three goes to the screen on a passed ball, Marisnick reaches, Lowrie to 3B
Marisnick steals 2B
Castro strikes out looking, bitching at ump for no reason
Gattis, pinch hitting for McHugh...hit by pitch to load the bases
Altuve hit by pitch on the hand...Hale challenging...upheld, Lowrie scores, Marisnick to 3B, Gattis to 2B

Hernandez out, Collmenter in

Springer strikes out swinging

Astros leave the bases loaded, but pick up a pair...lead 6-1

I was not. I repeat NOT talking about the Astros. I was speaking as a fan of the game. I will watch every playoff game I can regardless of who's involved. I do not have cable so I'll be streaming those games. The streaming issues lately have me worried about watching playoff games not explicitly involv.... Fuck it. I fucked up.
