Braves 8, Astros 2
W: Billy Wagner; L: Brandon Lyons
I took off early to start a vacation to go to this game. So far, not a great start to the vacation but it can only go up, right? Well, we had some awesome seats thanks to a cool dude but the players were not really listening to us. Pence still has that hitch in his swing. Bourn did get a hit one of the times I asked him to do so. But overall, the game was good fun until the top of the 10th inning.
Michael Bourn got his hit, stole second, got caught in a pickoff/rundown and end up save at second only to steal third on the next pitch or so. Good times there. The Astros had their best scoring chances for the whole game in that inning.
Wandy seemed to be off-kilter with Castro behind the plate, not sure why but Castro seemed to be on a different page than Wandy. They worked it out though and Wandy pitched a solid game. So did that Hanson kid for the other team.
The 10th inning was just ugly. No other words really seem to be necessary. Walks, grandslams and 6 runs scoring for the bad guys. All this did was bring every assine Braves fan to the forefront. Now, I understand wanting to see your team in visiting ballparks, but do you really have to be dumbasses? Seriously? Stop that fucking tomahawk chop thing you do. It is just stupid. It’s not clever or original for your team.
Well, read the recap and the gamezone for mroe information about the game and I’ll see you when I get back from Puerto Rico. I heard the rum and beaches calling my name. I just hope the Astros have a good of time in their games as I will while I’m away. Adios, my friends, start drinking.
