Orioles 2, Astros 5
W: Harris, L: Branch, S: Gregerson
So, for many summer is here. The showers of May seem to be evaporating as quickly as it fell and kids are at night baseball games. The views they were showing of the Houston night were gorgeous and made me wish someone had given me a ticket to the game. But anyway, I was tired and would not have really wanted to go because I stayed up late the night before watching UH and Rice in their 20 inning game.
This was a good game to watch. The Astros won. Those are always good games to watch. Plus, Hinch made great pitching changes. Oberholtzer did a good job going 5.1 innings and giving up only 2 runs. He was okay when he got the hook unlike Jimenez who seemed a bit upset. The way Brownie and Ashy were talking I thought he might go all Taveras on the phone, but he didn’t.
Anyway, Harris, Neshek and Gregerson came in for 3.2 innings of hitless baseball. Damm, it is really nice have a relief pitcher with a 0.35 ERA. Hell, yeah, it’s real nice.
The Astros had their big inning in the 7th when 8 guys came to the plate and scored 4 runs. Not a bad day at the office. Valbuena went 2 for 3 with a walk. One of those hits happened to land in the RF seats. Not a bad day for him but his average is .196 after all that production. Hopefully he rains some hits in the new month.
Summer school started for me on Monday. I’m taking Intermediate Macroeconomics and Intermediation Microeconomics. I do enjoy the topics but let me tell you about a classmate. He’s so freaking irritating. He does not the instructor finish a sentence before he spouts something as though he is an official on the topic. If you know so much about macroeconomics then why are you in this class??? Ugh. I also know I’m not the only one to find him tiresome, there are a couple others who made eyerolls, sighs, and under-the-breath comments. I don’t have a problem if someone has a question, but he seems to be trying to challenge the professor. Do that on your own time not mine.
