Altuve has an oblique strain? Day to day, or more serious?

Astros take a 1-0 lead in the first on a couple of hits from Springer and Castro.

I bet when they have dollar dog nite, there's always a few crazy bastards that eat 10 or 15... You could eat 15 for the price of two on any normal night.

Carter has been putting it together lately.  Maybe having a little lineup protection helps, too.

It's also Reef night at the st Arnold bar. I had poached shrimp with some of those weird Japanese mushrooms and kale in a sirachi sauce. It was worth the $15.

Speaking of mushrooms and kale, we still going to the day game later this month?

Just saw the replay. Not too many guys can poke one out to right with an easy swing. Nice to see him going.

Astros load the bases with nobody out in the 7th...

Fowler strikes out. He's having a rough night.
