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

But the wheels fall off with two out...5-4 A's

McCann singles to RF
Beltran singles up the middle, McCann to 2B

And that's all for Hahn, Smith in

Marwin doubles off the LF wall, McCann scores, Beltran to 3B\
Gurriel grounds out 4-3, Beltran scores, Marwin to 3B
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.

Astros up 9-5

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.

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.

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.

We've fished in Argentina.  It's January, so Scotland and BC would be . . . cold.
Where in Argentina?  I love that country.

I didn't catch on to the time frame, so I'd guess salmon in Kamchatka is out as well?

We were in Patagonia, near Bariloche.  I liked fishing there because you broke at noon for a bottle of wine.

Francis Mallman has a pretty spectacular set-up on his island down there. He's a pretty avid fly fisherman.

Marisnik in to play center. Springer in right. Reddick in left.

Alonzo works the count to 2-2. Fouls one hard off his front shin. Down in a heap. That looks like it seriously fucking hurt. He's struggling to get up. Shocked if he stays in. Heading to the dugout.
