2nd inning, Springer's home run puts the Astros up 1-0.

Sparkie just said the Astros have no HRs from the 4th hole this year.

That's rather pitiful. Sure would be nice to have Abreu slotted there. Castro needs to pick it up in the 3 hole as well. He's striking out way too much.
-
Astros 2 - 0 with 4 complete.

TV crew speculating that Castro may have a nagging hand injury. Close-up shot of his bat handle showed tape wrapped around making a sort of cushion where his index finger rests.
Whatever the reason, it seems like he's missed a lot of hittable pitches this year.
-
Dominguez single and Springer double set up Carter with 2nd and 3rd, 1 out. Can he put the ball in play to score a run??
-
Shit. Put it in play... but a weak pop-up just on the OF grass. Up to Krauss. Fuck.
In any case, Astros lead 2-0 in the 6th.

We don't get that many opportunities that we can piss 'em away like that.

Ugh Krauss, you poor sucky bastard.

Ugh Krauss, you poor sucky bastard.
It was bad, but I think Karter was worse.
-
Ugh. That's just bad karma.
-
It was bad, but I think Karter was worse.
But at least there's power there. I haven't seen anything worthwhile from Krauss.
How's Singleton doing?
-
O's with the bases juiced on three fluke singles. No outs.
-
Wild pitch. Tied at 2.

The 3rd one (Pearce) was a solid line drive up the middle, though he had to practically one-hand it.
-

You believe in kama? I am shocked.

It was a blooper he hit off his shoe laces.
-
Wow, Astros get a break on bad base running.
-

It's a figure so speech. Don't get weirded out.
-

.294/.408/.627 with 25 walks and 33 strikeouts in 34 games.
-
Nice job bullpen. Tied 2-2 headed to the 8th.
-

That's ok thtn, if lawyers started to believe in kama then... I don't even know how to finish that sentence.
In other news Astros dodge a bullet in the 7th.
-
I guess "blooper" and "shoe laces" can be interpreted rather liberally, then.

You know I'm not a lawyer, right?
Castro leads off the 8th with a knock.
-

Everything can be.
Dominguez quickly grounds into 6-4-3 twin killing.
-
Hoes grounds out to end the Astros' half. Still 2-2.
-
We may be witnessing the first MLB team in history where the 3 worst hitters on the team are the DH, 1B, and LF.
-
B8: Cruz deposits first pitch int the CF seats. 3-2 O's.
-
I don't like how Fowler catches fly balls at his waist.

Not sure why I thought you were a lawyer, there are a bunch of great lawyer jokes but I don't know how to get one in here...

Which proves that you have to go with unconventional tactics when you stink as bad as the
Astros?
-
Where was that hit when there were runners on 2nd and 3rd?
-
T9:
Springer strikes out
Carter with a hit!!!!
Marwin Gonzalez into run for Carter
Krauss actually having a decent at bat...
-
What a time to have to go out, Mother's day here.
Get us a win...
-
And Krauss with a double!!!
For some reason, Marwin runs like a cat with peanut butter on his paws.
Keuchel in to pinch run for Krauss.
-
Villar grounds to 2b, Marwin in the pickle. Keuchel moves to 3b, Villar to 2b.
Altuve up.
-
Altuve 2-run single with 2 outs in the 9th.
4-2 Astros
-
Altuve!!!!!!
Single scores two! Astros up 4-3.
-
And it starts to pour down rain.
-
Fowler draws a walk. Castro up.
-
Castro pops out to end the inning, but the Astros take the lead, 4-3.
On the bottom of the 9th.
-
O's almost pulled an Astro-esque move on that pop-up there.
-
We'll not yet. Umps decide on the rain delay.
-
The "hop-up" slide gets style points. Great inning. The Krauss at bat was stellar.
-
It's barely sprinkling, and the tarp is on the field.
-
Well this is boring as shit.
-
Anybody got a good rain delay story?
-
Did a Doppler check. 15 minutes, maybe?
-

It involves Rice football. That okay?

Where the hell is das? He'd better not be at the game.
-

Anything is fair game in rain delay.
-
This could really suck for Bass if he's been announced.
-

Bonus points if it's SWC-related. Even if not, I'll still read it.

Let's hear it.

Cliff Note version: 60th Anniversary of stadium opening. Saw Chuck and Homer. MOB sported umbrellas. THE KEN STARR got roasted. I was really drunk at the time?

Beak 'em, birds!
-
Hell my Rice Stadium story is better than that. It involves Sherry, a sophomore at UT on Spring Break. I even had a drag race with a Metro bus later that night.
-
The shit is east of the Chesapeake now for Staubach's sake, play ball!
-
Lady on twitter say it is supposed restart at 10:55 pm.

What lady? Is she reliable?
-
Julia Morales, I just forgot her name.
-
Alright... We're ready to go. Bass still in there.
-
B9:
Clevenger grounds out 5-3. 1 down.
-
Pearce flies out F-7. Two we got.
-
Schoop with an infield single dribbler.
-
Markakis singles. Tying run to 2b.
-
Machado walks. Bases loaded, two out.
-
Delmon Young in to PH.
-
Young with an infield single, Schoop scores, we're tied at 4.
-
Jones pops out. Extra innings.
-
One pitch away...twice, and neither time did the ball make it out of the infield.
-
this sucks. it really does.
-
This could really suck for Bass if he's been announced.
Haunting words. Given what transpired, I'll take EI's. I'll go away now. Happy day to everyone's mothers tomorrow.

You didn't seem all that drunk.
Although thinking about it you did initially spring into my field of vision and begin talking to me as if I were someone else.
-
Astros are 6 for 14 in save opportunities. Spectacular.
-
T10: Dominguez leads off with a single.
-
How the hell have you been, anyway? If I recall correctly you sidestepped from Baptism to Anglicanism so I assume you have a new wardrobe at the very least.
-

I'm surprised they have as many as six. Seriously.
-
Hoes sacrifices Dominguez to 2b with one out. Springer to the plate.
-
Springer K's for the third time tonight. He is so overwhelmed at this level.

You can't argue with his production at the lower levels but there is quite a bit not to like about his swing. And his approach, really.
-
Marwin strikes out.

He's like a deer in the headlights he's so unready for Big League pitching.

Unlike the rest of Los Astros.
-
Clemens in for the Astros in the T10.
Weiters grounds back to the box.
-
Unlike the rest of Los Astros.
The rest of the team just lacks talent. Springer looks scared shitless.
-
Hardy with another infield single.
-
Clevenger doubles to RF. Springer looks like a monkey trying to fuck a football in RF and the Astros complete the dick stepping 5-4. My God this bullpen is horrible.
-
If you thought the Astros were going to win with a one-run lead in the ninth, two outs and no one on, YUFU.

It's like the Texans. If they didn't have a four touchdown lead in the 4Q, they didn't stand a chance.
-
Why the fuck can't Springer hit the cutoff man on the fly? He bounced it in to him.

Why can't he field a ground ball? How is a rainbow made? How does a posi-trac rear end on a Plymouth work? It just does.

The shitty thing is who do you bring up to replace all the sucky players? There isn't anyone.

These are the guys brought in to replace the sucky ones.
-
The starting pitching on this team should win 90 games. The bullpen will ensure they win 30.
-
I don't like how Fowler catches fly balls at his waist.
I detest that too. Play the game right; respect the game. Two hands on the play. Every time.
