Carlos barehanded a fly off the Crawford and threw a strike to 2nd. Kent was cadillacing out of the box and got what he deserved. Lee may be figuring out this left field thing.

Lee is kind of like the anti-Berkman. Berkman is a mostly competent ballplayer that has intermittent lapses in concentration that keep him from living down his reputation as a goofball. Lee has intermittent attacks of concentration. Just when you think you can't watch his incompetence in the field any longer, he comes up with a stolen base, a nice defensive play or hustles down the line.

Loney knocks the snot out of the ball, to deep right center, slides headfirst into third for a fairly easy triple. Infield playing in.

If the game were on big FOX, they would probably have an animated graphic of Homer superimposed over the catcher, catching the pitch in his mouth and chowing down on it, with sound effects. I doubt I'll be catching this Saturday's FOX game since I'll be in New Orleans with the family. I'll be sure to check the game thread later to find out what horrors they ran out there.

Lidge's first pitch to Kent was more filthy than a mud pit full of New Jersey beauty queens.

Sitting in DFW and couldn't catch the game... any discussion on why Albers was pulled? Reads like he had a great night

Nice work in the GZ tonight folks, thanks!

He was gassed. Quite a few pitches through 5, and not stretched out right now.

90 pitches. I think he could have gone one more, I also don't know Jack Shit. Doesn't matter, 'Stros won.

you NEVER try to get "one more" in a situation like that. you want him to take nothing but positives from the outing.
