The Astros can’t hit Moore. Not sure why, but they sure seem impotent.

Was Correa's fly ball deep? Why a pitching change? Can we have some PBP? I am in Cally, and. cheerleading just goes so far.

Wooooo grounds out to Cano, but he was sleeping. Reddick on 1st after the error.
Correa makes the, pay for that with a bomb to dead center on a 2-1 fastball. 2 runs score.
Marwin grounds out on a 0-2 changeup 4-3.
Beltran K’s swinging after providing a few souvenirs for the fans

Man, we had one of those fuckers for several weeks. Turned out he set up shop in the insulation on top of the dishwasher, and would shit and piss all over the floor underneath it. What a fucking disaster. Finally caught the son of a bitch in a trap in the pantry. No help whatsoever from the damn cat that brought the thing inside in the first place.
