I'll be there soon.

Watching from afar...
Actually, I am still trying to work put if I have the stomach to watch too much more Astros baseball.
-
It ain't 0-0 no more.
Fuck tha Mets.
-
Wow, Jonathan Niese is one yuguly dude.
-
For a second there I thought that was a Lisa Gray mention, but it was Linda Gray. Whew.
-
Lyles just hit 96 on his fastball, and of course serves up a solo knock to Wright on the next pitch. It's 2-1 Good Guys.
Looks like the HR hit the base of the foul pole.
-
One out in the fourth and Lyles walks Ike Davis. Turner up.
-
Lyles plunks Turner in the elbow with the first pitch. He's got too much movement on his pitches.
-
Wow, Jonathan Niese is one yuguly dude.
A nose job would help but not much.
-
Valdespin fans on a nasty two-seamer at the ankles.
-
Wait, he had a nose job already and it didn't help. (http://deadspin.com/5886585/mets-pitcher-jon-niese-got-a-nose-job-after-carlos-beltran-suggested-it-and-offered-to-pay-for-it)
-
Came in on a 3-0 pitch but didn't give up and got a F7 out of it to end the fourth. 2-1 Astros.

Yeah, but it wasn't a cosmetic one, more of a routing.
-
Lyles pops out to shallow right, Altuve grounds out to SS on the next pitch.
-

That looked like the ball dropping into a roulette wheel slot.
-
Gonzalez grounds out. With offenses like this, it should be a quick game.
-
I don't know if it's the four-seamer or not, but whatever pitch it is, it keeps blowing up and away from a LH hitter on him, way up and out.
-
Real fine changeup gets Thole to swing and miss for the K.
-
Niese grounds out to short on the next pitch.
-
Tejada grounds out on a nifty pickup by Greene to end the fifth and it's still 2-1 Astros.
-
Wallace lines out to left, one down. Francisco up.
-
I'm back for a few minutes before heading out to dinner at a friends' home. I leave for Missoula sunday morning.
-
Francisco whiffs on a big curve. Two down, Pearce up.
-
Pearce flies out.

Good luck!
-
Bottom six, Baxter flies out. Wright up.
-
Another 96 mph fastball on the outside corner, followed by a 92 mph two-seamer inside that was fouled off.
-
Wright gets a piece of a breaking ball. Not sure Lyles has anything that's fooling Wright tonight, he's shown him just about everything.
-
Good luck!
THANKS, RB. Did you get my recap up yet? I guess that I could go check for myself.
-
Wright hits another drive into the RF corner, but Pearce grabs the carom and nails Wright steaming into second for the out. Great throw.
-

Yep, it's up.
-
Davis lines out to Altuve and it's still 2-1 after six.
-
That was a nice throw by Pearce.
-
Lyles might want to work the inside against Wright next time up.
-
Greene with a no-doubter off the facing in the second deck and it's 3-1!
-
Niese threw a medium cookie up. And Snyder just thwacked a shot past Valdespin in left for a double.
-
No movement at all on Niese's pitches right now.
-
Bunt by Barnes advances Snyder. One down, and F-Mart hits for Lyles.
-
Greene hit the snot out of that one.
-
I disagree with pinch hitting Fernando Martinez against a lefty to get into our shitty bully.
-
Yeah, it's kinda weird. Met on Met action.
-
And F-Mart does just what you don't want him to do, strikes out on a bad pitch. Two down, Altuve up.
-
My wife even questioned that pinch hit call.
-
Niese looks like he's gassed, losing control of his curve. Altuve comes back from 0-2 and gets a walk.
-
Marwin strokes a curve to short and Tejada just gets Altuve at second to end the inning.
Oh yes, the new Mrs. Jack commercial. Oh my.
-
Well, fuck me. I've seen just about enough diving shortstop plays to last this lifetime.
-
Oh yes, the new Mrs. Jack commercial. Oh my.
She is definitely high on the list.
-
Wright in to pitch the seventh.
-
Turner grounds out to third, one down. Hairston hits for Valdespin.
-
Easy comebacker gets Hairston and that brings up Torres.
-
Sharp single to left. Thole up.
-
Sinking lineout to left ends the seventh, 3-1 Astros.
-
Carson pitching for the steM. Wallace up.
-
Friday nights sho is quiet in the GZ.
-
Wallace skies a pop to 1B, one down.
-
I'm probably speaking too early, but I really want to hear Francesa after this one.
-
Francisco in to pitch to Bogey.
-
Bogey is fishing, he can't catch up to 94-95.
-
Whiff on inside heat, two outs.
-
Pearce is up. Look fastball, Steve!
-
Francisco is all over the place and he walks Pearce. Greene up.
-
Pearce steals second? Really?
-
Just ripped that one off.
-
Francisco has very little control, but he does ring up Greene.
-
God damn, Nissan is getting incredible mileage from this ad buy.
-
Got lucky and found the corner
-
"Former reliever, Fernando Abad."
-
FeRod's coming in to pitch.
-
Ronny Cedeno pinch hits.
-
FeRod gets a comebacker for the first out.
-
We seem to have found an offense as impotent as ours.
-
Tejada flies out to left, two down.
-

Yeah, the steM really, really suck. Tomorrow could be an interesting game. I always enjoy watching a knuckleballer pitch.
-
"Doug has been known to present a simplified message."
Classic.
-
Baxter walks, and now Wright comes up. Tying run at the plate.
-
I really don't want to see Wright hit against FeRod.
-
Here comes Lopez.
-
Alright, here come 10 points for me: Lopez for the save!
-
Every break, sometimes twice in the same break. Nissan is loving the fact that the Astros can't sell ads.
-

Comfortable taunting the BBGs, eh?
-
Ooooh, skullduggery. Moore to third, Marwin to short, Lopez in.
-
Comfortable taunting the BBGs, eh?
Absolutely. What have I got to lose?
-
It feels like Wright has seen this shit before.
-
It feels like Wright has seen this shit before.
Bingo!
-
Wright tries to make something happen by swinging at a tough pitch, but Marwin gets the force at second to end the threat in the eighth!
-
Acosta is about as funky as Gervacio.
-
Googly eyes would help the comparison.
-
Snyder rolls out to third, one down.
-
Barnes takes strike three. Collins pulls Acosta because he's in mortal fear of him facing a lefthander.
-
Lopez gets a quick two outs and Hairston's up.
-
Lopez pounds the strike zone and ends it on a flyout to center.
Astros win!
-
Wilton, my man!!!
-
Win #40!
Fuck the steM!
-
DeFrancesco won't go winless in his ML career.
-
Go Astros!
-
ASTROS WIN!!! ASTROS WIN!!! ASTROS WIN!!!
-
ASTROS WIN!!! ASTROS WIN!!! ASTROS WIN!!!
Come on. Act like you've been there before.
-
Well, it is Merengue Night.
-
Come on. Act like you've been there before.
Most of our memories don't go that far back.

Another outstanding recap (http://www.spikesnstars.com/2012/08/25/orange-dawn/). The recappers are killing it every day.
