Bourn reached on a bad call by the first base up, then was promptly thrown out at 2nd on an attempted steal. Meanwhile, Carpenter has only needed 20 pitches to get through 3 innings.
-
0-0, top of the 4th.
-
La Booza says he'll
shave his head if the Cards go up five on the Reds never shave his head.
-
Wandy gets those bald clowns in the 4th, 1-2-3.
ETA: 1-2-BB-4...
-
Wandy gets those bald clowns in the 4th, 1-2-3.
Actually, there was a 2-out walk in there. Wandy working hard.
-
Bourn with a HARD grounder to Schumacher who can't come up with it and it skips into right for an E-4.
-
No one wants that to be a hit more than the first base ump
-

I thought there was a walk in there but I looked up to see them coming off the field and didn't see a runner. Duh.
-
Sanchez hangs tough and singles up the middle, SBB to second. Spaz up.
Line drive in the RCF gap, or 6-4-3 dp?
-
Spaz!!!
-
Sinatra or Mathis? Presley.
Pence jacks one over Rasmus' head and behind Tal's pole for a 2-run triple!
-
PENCE!!! Hole Lee Shit!
-
Hee hee, you said Tal's pole.
-
That looked so weak off the bat
-
Caballo waaaaay out in front of a curve for strike three. One down.
-
Hee hee, you said Tal's pole.
Huh huh. Huh huh. Huh huh.
You said "pole."
Huh huh. Huh huh.
-
That looked unlike the Carlos we've been seeing for the last few weeks. Looked like he tried to pull that third strike when he would ordinarily take it to right.
But CJ picks him up!
-
CJ lines one just over a drawn-in Schumacher and it's 3-0.
Wallace plunked on the knee by Carpenter. Ow.
-
Manzella is using the Hunter Pence Staring Method.
-
That looked like a bullshit call but Wallace got a little payback for getting clipped.
-
Nice hard slide by Wallace!
-

Good call, on the transfer
-
Carpenter has an evil fastball.
-

What are you, The Voice of Reason or something? Who are you pulling for?
-
Carpenter has an evil fastball.
He's certainly not afraid to throw it inside to lefthanders.
-
Castro walks to load 'em up but Wandy bounces the first pitch to 1B to end the inning. 3-0 Hirsute Competitors.
-
Who are you pulling for?
Damn, you can see that?!
-
Alright...I'm trying a little something different tonight. It's a warm summer night, so I thought a little chardonnay would do the trick. So it's Becker (2009).
-
Damn, you can see that?!
I'm just glad I can't feel it.

I'll see your Chard and raise you with a nice glass of Dickel Barrel Select.
-

That's what she said.
-
That's what she said.
She was glad?
-
Hey, it's John Jay! He coulda been an Astro!
-
Wandy sets them down in order and we go to the bottom of the fifth with three more runs than hairs on the heads of the Jakes.
-
Bourn with a beautiful tweener just past the shortstop into left for a single.
-
Few things more heartwarming than seeing a dad with his kids at the park, snagging a foul ball down the side. Until he pops up and has that damn bluetooth tumor on his ear.
Fuckstick. Pay attention to your kids!

Heading out to catch the Monarchs play here in a bit. Think I might have to make it some Herradura Reposado in their honor...

Kepp's back tomorrow!

Nice.

douchetag
-
With Bourn running, Sanchez hits it to the one place that would result in a double play, straight to the bag at second.
-
douchetag
I like that.
-
Pence with a nubber to short that he almost beats out but doesn't. 3-0 after 5.
-
I like that.
Google told me I wasnt the first (http://www.prankies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/1-450x668.jpg)

If it's The Monarchs, shouldn't it be in their "honour"?
-
Nice.
Closest I'm going to get to a Portland area SnS meeting, so will enjoy it in style!

HH and white wine? Omg. Is he wearing a pink tu-tu as he sips it?

I'm sitting in my boxers, smoking a La Escepcion, sipping white wine. That mental image should make you think twice about razzing me again.
-
Seven straight set down by Wandy. On to the bottom of the sixth, up 3-0.
-

The umbrella is functional, dammit
-
Hey, wait just a God-damn minute here. There's hair on Ryan's head! What kind of bullshit is this?
-
Wallace has a quick bat.
-
But he pops up to left, ending the sixth.
-
CJ takes his eye off the ball as he cuts in front of Manzella and Molina is on to lead off the 7th. Feliz up.
-
Aw shit CJ.
-
Horrible looking swing by Feliz on a shoetop level fastball. One down.
-
Aw shit CJ.
Yep...took his eye off of the big Sunday hop. That's ok...Wandy gotta pitch around it.
-
7th inning, 101st pitch for Wandy, and it's a 90 mph fastball.
-
Schumacher grounds to Wandy who gets the runner at second but can't make the dp; next pitch is also tapped to the mound and that ends the top of the 7th, still 3-0 Good Guys.
-
Manzella bounces a groundout, one down. Castro up.
-
Castro with the grounder past first and into right but he gets a little greedy and is cut down at second by Jay. Two outs.
-
yikes, damn nice throw by RF
-
Son of a bitch! Good throw by Jay John.
-

That's a good aggressive gamble though.

It was close, but you could see that it wasn't gonna work out.
-

It took a perfect throw. That happens sometimes when you're aggressive. I'd hate it if they were never thrown out trying to take an extra base.
-
Carpenter pulls the string on Bourn for the K and that's seven innings, Astros up 3-0.
-

Oh, I agree with the aggressiveness, especially when you're up and I'm not faulting the gamble. From the TV perspective you could see it wasn't going to work as soon as Jay got the ball; he can throw and he's accurate too. Castro was chugging.
-
Byrdak in to work the 8th.
-
Ok, there's one way to fuck this up, and that's to start giving them free baserunners.

Come on now...
-
Glad to see Mills, and Lopez.
-
Byrdak: one batter, one walk. Mills to the pen.
-
Lopez on Lopez action.
-
It's a Lopez-Lopez throwdown!
-
Lopez on Lopez action.
Lopezian?
-
FC bounceout to second, runner advances. One down, Rasmus up.
-
Lopezian?
NTTAWWT.
-
Rasmus has a quick bat too. I'd love to have that kid.
-
Punched out by the high 93 mph FB, two down.
-
Lopezian?
Lopezbian.
-
JD on the delayed, close strike 3 call by HPU... "he was waiting for the coin to come down"
-
Wilton Lopez is a bad mother fucker.
-
Hey there's the BudGirl!!!
-
Pooholes with the 5-3 for the third out.
-
I sure would like to see that high strike called more consistently. That's a good pitch, and it's unfair to the pitchers to take it away from them. That seems a lot better than strikes 4 inches off the plate.
-
Hey there's the BudGirl!!!
Where?
-
Hey there's the BudGirl!!!
Cool!
Maroon shirt behind the box score graphic. Top of the screen.

As they cut to commercial..wearing a red Astros tshirt.

Yeah, I backed up and found her. You have quick eyes.
-
well, fuck
-

It's the white wine.
-
Pence with a shot to right and he's gunned down by Schumacher at second. Two down.
-
Pence beat it by an inch.

Maybe, but his foot was also bouncing up over the bag while the tag was on him.

What is Jose Cruz doing these days?

Quietly chuckling to himself.
-
Lee takes strike three on the outside corner to end the eighth inning, Good Guys up 3-0.
-
Boojwah in LF, Lyon in to close.
-
Holliday rips the first pitch to the wall in left center for a double.
-
great stop by castro on the wide wide slider.
-
Lyon is getting the calls on the outside edge.
-
great stop by castro on the wide wide slider.
framed strike 2 nicely too
-
Molina overmatched on the 3-2 outside fastball for a strikeout. One down. Feliz up.
-
Fly out to Pence, two down. Schumacher up.
-
BudGirl refusing to stand
-
Sphinx with the itchy trigger finger.
-
They have meds for that now Sphinx
-
I've seen guys rung up for less of a swing than that.
-
No shit. Fuck me.

Tying run at the plate in the form of Randy Winn.

At least its well documented who this one is on
-
Come on Brandon...that plate is 17 inches wide.
-
BudGirl still refusing to stand
-
I don't see how Winn ever catches up to a good heater.
-
That's a wrap. Good win. Love beating the Cardinals! Mother fucker! Yeehaw!!!
-
Nice 3 shitter
-
There's your high strikeout. Astros win!
-
Nice 3 shitter
Well played, sir.
-
2 shutouts, shaved birds, this series has it all. Can't wait to see what is in store for tomorrow!
-
Astros now .500 at home.

One over as of a few minutes ago.

I can't find the freaking stats but I thought Eschenfelder said that this put them at .500 at home this year.
-
I could be confused, I am beset by two yelling children, a wife asking questions, and two capering 70 lb dogs. It's a fucking zoo over here.

You need some white wine
-
Becker makes some damn good wines.
Damn right they do, but I find their chardonnay a bit sweet for my personal tastes. One of the things that I enjoy about their port is that it's unusually unsweet for the genre.
I'm big fan of all of Becker's cabernets and the claret. The Iconoclast cab was my house wine for many years.
-

And Xanax. And someone to remove the sharp objects, strings and firearms.

The Iconoclast is fantabulous. Their claret is excellent too. I don't find the Chard too sweet, but I suppose that's personal preference. It's a good summer night wine.

Wandy on the postgame: the herpes have flared up again.

It's a terrific winery. My parents have lived in F-burg for the last 15 years or so, and Becker's wines are always on the table at their house. My sister got married at the winery. All their wines are good.
-
Since the Oswalt and Berkman trades, the team is 19-12.
-
I assume me refusing to stand was for the last out. It is a superstitous thing. But I couldn't see at all and ended up standing for the last two pitches.

It was fun. Anytime the Astros win is a good time.
First I had Bench stalking me from a parking garage then HH scanning the crowd shots for me. I feel so popular.

Good for you! It offset some premature celebration in the GZ.
Was there a promotion last night? 29k fans for a Tues. night game isn't a bad showing considering the standings.

I do not think so. There are usually a lot of Cards fans when they are in town.
And I watched the replay of the game, and Limey was shown in the 9th inning also. But, I only saw myself once.

I had good seats the last two nights. All free. On Kiss Cam, on TV, 2 shitouts. Good times.
Early on, Wandy's pitch count vs. Carpenter's was looking sick, but he sorted himself out and went 7. Can Byrdak be used to expand Round Rock's roster? I hate it when he comes in. Lopez is a maniac. Pooholes is nearly the same height as Bourn, but isn't hitting as well even though he remains a cocksucker.

Right. Pujols is only second in the league in average, second in RBIs and first in HRs.

Yeah, Infante's going to fuck that up, if he keeps playing. And hitting.

I meant this series. Not the cocksucker thing - that's 24/7 - but the hitting thing.
