I'm still working as well, but can pull off a half-ass PBP until the calvary arrives.

Bottom 1:  Millwood pitching.

Bourn: singles to center. None out, speed on 1B.
Newhan: struck out looking.  1 out, speed on 1B.
Tejada: struck out swinging, but Bourn stole 2B at some point.  2 outs, Bourn on 2B.
Berkman: walked.  2 outs, runners on 1B and 2B.
Lee: cs, cs, b, b, b, b - walked.  2 outs, bases juiced.
Spaz: cranked a first pitch slider up Tal's hill for a triple over the outstretched glove of Hamilton.  3 score, Pence on 3B with 2 outs. [No choking by Thunderpants in this AB.  The Rangers 9ish inning strangle hold on the Astros with RISP was broken up by Pence...].
Wigginton: struck out.

End 1: TEX 0, HOU 3

32 pitch inning for Millwood.

Pointless info update: The Stros are 5 runs in differential away from winning the boot.

I will now spend the rest of my night trying to learn more about things I actually care about. I wish I could excise the Silver Boot from my mind.

Bottom 2: Millwood pitching.  Hamilton out of the game, Boggs (in to replace him) goes to left, Byrd to center.

Q: lays down a great 1st pitch bunt to the surprise of everyone.  None out, Q on 1B.

Wandy: shows bunt, hits it through the gap between 1B and 2B for a single (1-1 pitch).  None out, runners on 1B and 2B.

Bourn: lays down a sacrifice bunt (use 'lays down' loosely, as it went a bit up in the air... again).  1 out, runners at 2B and 3B.

Newhan:  doubles into right on 1st pitch down the line past a diving first baseman to score 2.  TEX 0, HOU 5.  1 out, runner at 2B.

Tejada: slow roller towards the bag on 2-1 pitch, easy play for Young, Newhan to 3B.  2 outs, runner at 3B.

Berkman: tapper to 3B on 2-2 pitch for an infield single, Newhan scores.  TEX 0, HOU 6.  2 outs, Puma on 1B. 

Millwood caught a cleat on the aborted pitch to Lee, Berkman to 2B on the balk.

Lee: singled up the middle on 2-2 pitch, Berkman scores, Lee advances to 2B on the throw home.  TEX 0, HOU 7.  2 outs, runner (well, Lee anyway) on 2B.

Pence: flailed away on a high 1-2 fastball (but we'll let him slide for not choking in the 1st).  3 outs. 

End 2: TEX 0, HOU 7

Millwood pitch count through 2: 59 (35/24)

This is going to have to be my last 1/2 inning of PBP, still have work to do on the left coast.  Emo Oranges fka ColdCock needs PBP tonight, so it'd be appreciated if someone could take over.

Q slaps one up the middle, Millwood slaps the ball like ARod swiping at a tag at first, gets behind him for an infield single.

End 5: 7-0 Good Guys. Millwood (Pinch Hitter?), Kinsler, Young due.

Hamilton is out of the game after getting hit in the wrist in his last at bat. Not sure if that was mentioned.

Top 6, Kinsler on first. Two out.

Boggs (in for the injured Hamilton) takes strike one, fastball. Swings through strike two. Takes a curve in the dirt. JD just made the worst joke ever, even Brownie is groaning. Boggs fouls off an outside corner fastball, still 1-2. Wandy whiffles a curveball past Boggs, who swings through and looks confused. 3 outs.

Bottom 6: Newhan on first, no outs. Newhan is 3-3 tonight with 2 RBIs now.

Miggy takes ball one, apparently just high, fastball. Throw over, not close. Miggy chops to 3rd base, Duran fields and throws to second... WOAH! terrible call at 2nd base. Newhan slid in ahead of the throw but Jerry Davis calls him out. Wow. 1 out.

Newhan beat the throw.  But the Major League Umpire expected the Major League Third Baseman not to lay back and make the throw. Newhan was called out on reputation.  He trots off the field, just up from the minors, accepting his place and accepting the out.

They're talking about the player's meeting and speculating that this could possibly be a good thing for the team. They've talked about it in at least 2 seperate innings tonight.

Bottom 6: Miggy on 2nd, Twinkie on 1st. 1 out.

El Kabong takes ball one, low. Fouls a fastball straight back, 1-1. Swings over a low fastball for strike 2. Lee really has been struggling with low sinkers lately. Ball, inside, 2-2. Fouls off an outside corner fastball, still 2-2. Lee hammers a ball JUST foul down the left field line. Started fair but hooked. Foul by a couple feet just inside dumbass cove, still 2-2. Fouls one straight back. Lee fouls back a semi-hanging slider on his hands, still 2-2. Rupe takes too long and Kabong steps out. Back to business. Ball 3 WAY outside. Salty had to really reach for that one. Full count, one out. Runners moving? Nope. Lee chops the ball to Duran at 3rd who throws to 2nd, thow is kind of high, out at 2nd, but Lee beats the throw to first. 2 outs.

Pence flails wildly at a slider for strike one. Takes low, ball one. Brownie is trying his ass off to jinx this game. Slider, just outside, ball 2. Fouls off a fastball, 2-2. Pence takes strike 3 on the outside corner. Burned the outside corner on the knees, and Pence never even moved. 3 outs, 2 runners left on.

Byrd takes strike one. Fouls a ball down the 3rd base line. Fouls off a curve on the inside corner. Brownie points out the Rangers have not been shut out this season. Chopper to Tejada who inexplicably double clutches then throws to first, Byrd beats it out. Ugh. Come on Miggy. Should be an error, and is.

Brownie continues to piss on the BBGs. Benoit bounces a curve, which hits Salty in the throwing hand. Ouch. Grounds in the hole, Young fields it and throws to first, Wiggy out by a step. 1 down.

Top 8: No on, no out.

Whoops, David Murphy is hitting in the 9 hole. My bad. Takes a strike, then takes a ball outside. Takes a curve on the knees, strike two. Pops a curve toward the Ranger dugout, Q trucks after it, but its foul in the seats, still 1-2. Wandy JUST misses up and out, ball 2. Murphy drives a ball to deep right center, one hops the wall just to the right of the fence. Wandy threw him a curve and Murphy swung like he knew it was coming. Easy stand up triple for Murphy.

End 8: 7-1 Good Guys. Pinch Hitter, Byrd, Ramirez due up in the Ranger 9th. The Rangers have claimed the Silver Boot due to run differential.

Possibly he realizes, in spite of his ridiculous curve and only giving up one run to one of the best offenses in baseball, that he'll never be better than a 3.  That can wear on a pitcher.

Top 9: No on, no out.

Oscar Villarreal in to pitch, and he'll face pinch hitter Chris DAvis making his major league debut. Hits a nubber toward 3rd, Wiggy was playing back and it died in the grass, no play at first. First ML hit.

Top 9: Byrd on 3rd, 1 out.

Salty swings through strike one, swings wildly at a low breaking ball, Q makes a nice play off Salty to keep the ball from going to the fence, strike two. Salty has something in his eye. Now he's back in. Hammers a slider foul into the 1st base side seats. Salty fouls down toward dumbass cove, Wiggy running hard, runs out of room, foul ball. Still 0-2. High heat, ball one. Salty swings over a low slider, PONCHE!

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."
