Fuck. We're already down 3-0 after Ankiel's top 1st homer. And there's no one home.

Nice piece of hitting by Blum (double).  Tejada scores to tie it, Lance to 3B.

Nice hitting by the Astros.

Moehler settles down in the 2nd.  Gives up a single to Molina, then gets 3 straight outs to get out of the inning.  Hope his "Oswalt inning" is behind him.

First hit (HR) was about 355 ft, second hit ("bunt" single) was about 35 ft per Brownie.

Swung.  Went about 20 feet and stopped on the chalk.  Still reads 'single' in the box score...

Newhan with his head up his ass gets picked off with the snap-throw from one of the squatting Molina's... 

And then Shumacker traps one that is called a 'catch' and a DP.  Horrible call...

Ok, after all of the blathering about using replay to make sure we get the call right, we get this suck. That's pathetic. He missed the catch by a foot.

77 and partly cloudy today (and no Gustav looming near).  Are you far enough inland in LA to be able to avoid most of the damage if Gustav makes it to the Louisiana coast?

Now I am. Was in Mandeville, which is close to NO. Now I'm in the middle of the state, which'll get some of it, but not the brunt or the storm surge.

That's an inexcusable crying shame. Y'all deserve better than that.

I've been pleased that they've shown as many as they have.  I'm glad they show the Astros more love than they do the Texans.

Absolutely awful.  The ball bounced at least 10-12 inches in front of his glove.

Godawful. Mr. Winters really screwed up by not asking for help since he obviously didn't see it. But no, Mr. Winters has to bow up and run Cooper.

It wasn't a trap.  The ball bounced 3 feet in front of the fielder.  It's probably the worst call I've ever seen on a baseball field.

Very bad call.  Bounced about in front of his glove.  From where Winters could/should have been set up it shouldn't have been that difficult to get the call correct.

It'll have to wait at least until a couple of those calls go against NYY or BOS.

It'll never happen.  But the umpires will soon realize that it's their own incompentence that calls for it.

Like Moehler (i.e. very workmanlike performance, not much flash but good command and use of his pitches).

Moehler has had decent command. Actually had it in the first, just made a bad pitch to Ankiel, who didn't miss it. His out pitch has had some bite tonight. Hence the K's.

Tejada with his 25th DP of the year...  Shitbirds 5, Good Guys 8 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th.


It's the 7th inning.

I don't understand the thinking:  "there's only one guy that can hurt me...so let me groove him a fastball". 

One who has hit the ball on the screws the three previous at-bats. Make 0 sense.

Unless you get 6 straight outs, you have to face him again.  Don't make the same mistake again.
