I guess Gar just thinks Berkman and Biggio need a day off. Plus giving them today off gives them two days off in a row with tomorrow's off-day. Oddly though, Biggio and Berkman have both hit Looper very well in the past.

Three innigs in 35 minutes, this game is going by awful fast. First team to 2 runs wins.

He can be a shredder on defense, but his offense leans more towards New Age.

Bounced in front of Encarnacion. Berkman held up because it looked like it might be caught, then got forced at 2B after the run scored.

Berkman was on 1st and has to hold up, so he was forced at 2nd.

Encarnacion short-hops a liner in right, throws out a frozen Berkman at second, we score one to tie the game.

I have been experiencing recurring Sunday daydream/wishes for a while now-Sunday Impossible Dreams if you will.

One inolves the Astros scoring 6 or more runs (gives me goosebumps).

The other involves Jennifer Connelly,sitting on my lap, smiling and feeding me Belgian waffles.
