Astros 4
Shitbirds 1
W: Norris (2-4) | L: Carpenter (4-1) | S: Lindstrom (9)
Fuck if I didn’t see but about 10 minutes of this beaut. Day games can be a crap shoot and today I rolled snake eyes. But hey, what’s not to like? Sweeping the Jakes in their crib from opposite ends of the Central standings. I don’t know if it’s good or bad that the Dickities are a half-game back of the Turds after today but they both can suck it! Viva los Astros!
It would be pointless for me to recap anything so I will lay down a couple of JackAstros’ Bullet Points©®™

►Pence smacked a Carpenter cut fastball for a 3-run bomb right after the Jakes fiery pitcher exchanged words with Lee after a weak pop-up. The ensuing bench-clearing ball featured tea and cookies.
►Berkman had a fancy-ass DP during a particularly tense point at the end of Bud’s day. Up 3 in the 8th, 2nd and 3rd with one out, a weak bouncer headed right to Twinkie as he scooped it, stepped on 1st then threw home to catch lead-footed Molina in a half-slide.
►Lindstrom faced 2-3-4-5 in the 9th, giving up only a walk to Holliday to nail down his 9th save.
OK, that’s all I can ethically say. The Astros now head out west for some unsettled business with Aubrey Huff. Stay up if you can.
