Top 2nd

His Royal Highness singles to Lane in CF
Hall up
JD telling us most batters look for fastballs early on, but Hall seems to like looking for curveballs, letting the gas go by
Hall takes a walk to 1st on 6th pitch
Mench up... ooh, naaaaaaaasty sinker (?) by Wandy, strike one
Fouled into the stands past 1st, Big Puma nearly hurtling into the dugout, can't get it
Mench retired, called strike 3
JD says "only a psychologist can tell us" why Wandy's so effective at home and the opposite on the road
Estrada grounds the first pitch into a 6-4-digging 3 double play

Are you guys in Austin getting this game?

Bottom 2nd

Luuuuuuuke leads off, checks swing poorly, foul
Luke moves his knees away from 5th pitch to get full count
Breaking ball nearly into the dirt, Luke gets a free ride to 1st

Lane knocks the first pitch waaaaaaaaaaay out, Hart absolutely leaps into the air to prevent the opposite-field home run, 1 out
Luke books it back to 1st, safe

Ausmus, still looking pissed from last night, nearly gets hit in groin on 3rd pitch for 1-2 count
2-2 count, throw to 1st, Luuuke safe
Ausmus checks, called strike 3, stalks close-mouthed back to dugout

Wandy, batting left-handed, perplexes Brownie: "I thought he'd given that up." JD: "Maybe he forgot."
Full count, Suppan keeps throwing towards the batters' legs later in the count
Ball four, ball thrown damn near Wandy's ankles

Luuuke to 2nd, Wandy 1st, Bidge up
Bidge smacks it to faaaar RF corner, Hart slides to get it but misses, ball bounces into stands for his 663rd career double
Luuuke home, Wandy 3rd, Bidge 2nd

Loretta up, 0-1 count, Brownie notes 50 pitches for Suppan
Loretta pops up infield to SS Hardy

SCORE: 1-0 home team

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #6 on:** August 11, 2007, 07:02:09 pm »

Dammit, IE stopped working, gotta re-type the top of the 3rd

Hardy bangs a double off the scoreboard, Lee throws to Bidge just a hair shy, Hardy safe
Suppan with a sac bunt to Ty, thrown out at 1st, Hardy to 3rd. 1 out.
Weeks walks in 4 pitches

Weeks steals 2nd on a slightly high Ausmus throw to Bidge
Hart swings hard at strike 3
Braun grounds out to Loretta, throw to Berkman, 3 out

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #7 on:** August 11, 2007, 07:10:32 pm »

Bottom 3rd

Berkman singles to CF
El Caballo flies out to LF
Ty strikes out swinging, going off balance, 2 out
Luuuuke strikes out swinging at what would've been ball 4, Berkman stranded, 3 out

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #8 on:** August 11, 2007, 07:17:16 pm »

Top 4th, game reporting stopping soon, FYI

Prince grounds to Loretta, throw to 1st, 1 out
JD and Brown comparing Prince to his daddy, talking about genetics
Hall takes it to full count, walks
Mench up
Wandy calmly throws to Lance when Hall takes off for 2nd, throw to Bidge, Hall caught stealing
Mench flies out to Lane in CF for the 3rd out

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #9 on:** August 11, 2007, 07:23:18 pm »

Bottom 4th

Lane leads off, flies out to Hart again, this time an actual flyout rather than a stolen homer
Ausmus up, 2 balls, 2 fouls, caught looking for out #2
Wandy batting righty this time, takes it to 3-2 then singles back to Suppan, throw to 1st for out #3

Score still 1-0 Astros

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #10 on:** August 11, 2007, 07:34:12 pm »

Top 5th

Estrada looks at strike 3, a beautiful pitch indeed, 1 out

Weeks hits it weakly to Ty, throw to Lance, out #3

Recap stopping now due to other commitments-- will come back to resume if I can

Triple? Surely a single and two-base error.

Limey · « **Reply #12 on:** August 11, 2007, 07:46:41 pm »

I understand the idea of setting up the DP, but doing so while bringing the Astros' best hitter and one of the league's best RBI men is a pretty ballsy move. Glad Lee made 'em pay.

Now let's play add-on.

Fuckin' A. Nice hit Jason. You'll be at .190 before you know it.

He actually took a couple of pitches that at-bat. Nice job of hitting to simply knock one back up the middle. Don't know what Ausmus is thinking tonight.

Ausmus is wearing Ensberg's underwear he left behind.

Well, he needs to get it off of his head and wear it in the customary fashion

I notice that people have stopped bitching about Wiggy being the same as Ensberg...

Wigginton only had to convince me by swinging the bat once in an at bat.

Nice job getting out of the jam, Wandy. On to the bottom of 7th.

If it was up to me, I wouldn't bring him back for the 8th.

Need a nice grounder from Fielder to clean this up.

Whew!

OK boys, need some insurance.

PBP?? I get incredibly tense waiting for Yahoo to refresh. I see Lidge pitching, one on, no outs.

gwat · « **Reply #26 on:** August 11, 2007, 09:08:03 pm »

Weeks failed bunt attempt with men on 1st and 2nd. Force out at 3rd. One down.

gwat · « **Reply #27 on:** August 11, 2007, 09:11:45 pm »

Lidge, up to 98 mph on strike one gets a called strike 3, possibly a gift, on Hart.

gwat · « **Reply #28 on:** August 11, 2007, 09:13:28 pm »

Braun, fuck, gets a 3 run clout. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK.

Fielder catches up to Lidge as well. 7-4.

Lance whiffs, Lee short pop to second. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

Not a perfect pitch, but didn't deserve what it got. Golfed through one of the arches behind the Crawford Boxes.
