E.Young grounds out to Altuve. Ellis bounced out deep in the hole to Barmes, who made a long looping throw that nicked Ellis at the bag. Smith walked, but Kouzmanoff rolled out to the mound to end the top of the first.
-
Amazing that Kevin Millwood is pitching in the major leagues, and pretty decently at that.
-
Schafer with a chopper to first, one down.
-
Altuve works the count but bounces out to short, two down. Martinez up.
Milwood appears to be testing the boundaries of the strike zone.
Martinez flies out to right, end of one and no score.
-
Pacheco leads off the second with a soft single to center. Wiggy up.
-
Wiggy way behind on it but he gets enough bat on it to flare one to center for a single. Runners on the corners now, Iannetta up.
-
Harrell gets a comebacker and goes to second to start the DP, but the throw is low and it skips past Barmes into center. Run scores, runners still on the corners with no outs. Field up.
-
Field singles to left, driving in Wiggy. 2-0 Rox, runners on first and second, still no outs.
-
There's a lot of dick stepping going on here today.

Yeah, and to continue the theme my daughter's thrown a tire 30 miles away and now I get to be the rescue squad.
-
After that 50-odd mile round trip and pleasant diversion, I came away with one truth.
DoRay are completely unlistenable. I am so tired of their inane, didactic moralism and smirking know-it-all polemics.
-
I left and it was working up to 3-1. I get back, and it's 11-1 and there is no doubt that the Rockies are beating the living shit out of a listless, bumbling team who should be ashamed of this performance on Fan Appreciation Day. Perhaps there is more than a little irony on display.
-
13-1 on Kouzmanoff's two-run jack off the top of the wall in left.
Shit sandwich? It's the whole buffet.
-

He's got nothing. I don't understand why we're not clobbering him.
-
Wiggy triples over Schafer's head. This is awful. I hope they aren't using those t-shirts for vomit bags.

Brutal performance today. Just brutal.
14-1 on a sac fly.
-
Austinite Tommy Field says hi to his guests and Fuck You to the Astros by going 4 for 4 today plus a walk.
-
Hey, LSU is AP #1!
-
Kouzmanoff gets another two-run homer, this one off of Cedeno in the eighth and it's 16-1.

Apparently, the 'Stros think fans appreciate runs.
-
Iannetta takes a looping curve from Cedeno into the arches above left for a three-run homer. It's 19-1 now, going to the bottom of the eighth.

The first thing I thought after reading that was, "Chicks dig the..." but then what I came up with was something most chicks I've known decidedly didn't dig, although it's certainly apt for what the Astros have given up today.
-
Deshaies pushing his "waive your final AB" idea again.

That idea would get a lot of traction today.

Nice chance to see Abreu throw though.
-
My wife walked in, saw the score, started laughing heartily, and walked on. This is a good, old-fashioned Chain Whipping.
-
Apropos your "celebration dragon" sig, when we went to see "Moneyball" the other night we got the trailer for "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". Fans of the book who were concerned that they might just draft some normal person for the title role can relax.
-
I would seriously be willing to give Mr. Happy's right arm to see the Astros knock the Jakes out of the Wild Card race.
-
Wait, and this was without Helton, Tulo and CarGo in the Rockies lineup today? Wow (and not in a good way...).

I haven't read the book - my wife and some friends have, and they love it - but I really like the trailer a lot.
-
19-1? holy shit.

19 runs. 25 hits.

Yeah, but almost better than games like last night. Took 3 of my boys to the game and we stayed through the excruciating extra innings where the boys just blew every dadgum opportunity....the failure to put down a decent bunt.....a man at second with no one out who doesn't score.....it was brutal.
But, they love baseball and we stayed. Dad didn't want to but the boys and I overruled.....you don't leave a game early, I've always told them.
-
Come on Jose, lets get this comeback started.
-
This is something like Fan Humiliation Day.

Leaving a game early is Wrong.

Look, Maude! A hit!

If I was at a game like this, I might not want to be right.

A run!!

16 is just a number. Like 3 or 1.
-
It ends. 19-3.

But one is the loneliest.

Fuckin' Towles blew the comeback, striking out on a pitch in the dirt.
-
But one is the loneliest.
Damn, you beat me to it.
-
But one is the loneliest.
It's also first. So i guess that's why they say it's lonely at the top.

Long way to go. We still have to play Alabama there and Florida.

Gotta enjoy the steps along the way.

Mr. Happy's right arm ain't worth too much today. Bet I couldn't hit 70. Shoulder is gone.

NOw that's a great song. I recall that old line "I ain't looking for Miss Right. I'm looking for Miss Right Now."

Today, Miss Right Now was the Astro pitching staff for the Rockies.

Yep. If it wouldn't have been a September game, a position player (or two) would have pitched.

Maybe that's why Michaels was on the roster...

I was at the game today, and the only positive thing I can think to say is that I never once heard booing. And if one of the other dozen fans left in the ninth had done so, I would've heard it.

Well, at least we've got that going for us.

We were there too--I think it got pretty positive from a fan perspective in the 9th, lots of yelling and "go team" type stuff.
When Carlos scored in the 9th, it looked like nothing was going to stop him when he came around 3rd. Kind of funny.
