And that's that in the 6th.  Cervelli with a liner towards Myers head, but he makes the grab and throws to 1st for the 1-3 DP to end the inning.

Needed a break. The Astros crush two to the track, and the Yanks tack on a run withna broken bat bloopers.  Ugh!

Baseball is cruel that way.

ETA: Kind of like one of my outstanding efforts a couple of weeks ago: hook a drive to nowhere-ville on the left of the fairway, skull a 7-iron onto the green, two-putt for the routine par. Nothing to the game.

Mix in a four-putt or a chip over the green and you've got my game.

is there a textbook definition of the check swing?  if so, does berkman's qualify.  it sure didn't seem to cross the plate.

Fuck me!   I could close out games if I could throw nothing in the zone and get three called strikes.  

Bull fucking shit.

That strikeout pitch to Pence was pretty tough. If Lindstrom had thrown that pitch to a Yankee and not gotten the call we would have gone nuclear.

Called strike 1 and 2 were further away than ball 1.  Shitty umpiring.
