4-1 Astros

Altuve's "hit" was total hometown score keeping.

Based on the entire season, I'm pretty sure our resident scorekeeper doesn't know the difference between a hit and an error.

Olson...0-2...1-2...strikes out looking
Lowrie singles to LF, Aoki comes in and tries to catch it but misses it, it trickles behind him...Brugman scores, Joyce to 2B...not sure if that'll be scored an error or not...had he fielded it cleanly, he'd have been in deep SS
Davis drills another screaming line drive over the wall in LF...Joyce scores, Lowrie scores
Alonso...0-2...1-2...strikes out swinging
But the wheels fall off with two out...5-4 A's

Two singles to start the Astros' 3rd chases Hahn
-
King Marwin comes through.
-
Mawwin with an RBI double ties it, RBI groundout from Gurriel grabs the lead back
-
It seems like Paulino gives up at least a run the next inning every time the offense scores for him.

Their trading haymakers. No telling how this ends.

Aoki hits in to some of the worst luck.

Aoki...infield in...lines one off the pitcher's leg, right to the SS...Aoki out 1-6-3...Marwin has to hold...tough luck there
Springer doubles down LF line, Marwin scores
Reddick singles to LF, Springer scores...not sure why Reddick didn't make 2B on that, other than Springer was just jogging home, so he couldn't risk getting thrown out
Altuve...2-0...literally stands with the bat on his shoulder and watches a 2-0 meatball...3-1...fouls off ball four...full count...walks, Reddick to 2B
Double steal...Reddick takes 3B, Altuve swipes 2B
Correa...0-2...1-2...2-2...singles to RF, Reddick scores, Altuve thrown out at the plate by 30 feet.

He had not registered into my consciousness until the grand slam last night and that huge jack today, and he generally strikes me as a forgettable cog and so the incongruity is fairly striking in the immediate.

A friend of mine is in a position to do more than merely suppose. He's been bugging me to fish with him in Tasmania for years. He goes to New Zealand regularly but as far as I know he's not fished there which is one reason among several that I don't know shit about the fishing in New Zealand.
-
She does.
Then go fishing. There are some fantastic hikes on the South island, too. My daughter and a friend did the Kepler track in the Fjordlands a few years ago. That's likely more than you want to do, but I think there are less ambitious tracks worth taking too.

A couple of years ag we had a summer intern who wanted to ride to the office with me and a co-worker. We said, "OK, meet us at the park and ride at 5:15." She said "Do you know what time I'd have to get up to be there at 5;15?" I said "I'm guess at about 4:00...what's the problem?" Not sure she's still interested in working in the oil business.

You guys must get a hell of a deal on the early bird parking. Plus, the lunch rush at Luby's hasn't really kicked off at 10:30 when you guys roll in. You can probably sit wherever the hell you want.
