It's tough to keep up with the guerilla posters when you're doing PBP.  You're going to be behind everyone.

In and out too much for PBP this eve, but will note the steM now lead 3-2 after 4 consecutive 2 out singles, which started with a Berkman dive and the ball edging off his glove.

Where were the Astros' three HRs? In the game log all I get is "deep center," and I'm having a hard time picturing Kaz hitting one over Tal's Hill. Thanks.

Kaz drove one into the bullpen leading off the first, Backe and Lee to left center.

Tough break for Puma not getting the game-winning hit, but considering how close Beltran was to that ball, I wasn't too upset that it bounced over the wall for a ground rule double.
