Lots of empty seats at MMPUS.  Even in the Diamond Club.  You can tell school started this week.

Missed Bourn's catch.  Can someone describe it?  Thanks.

He caught it before the hill but momentum sent him up. Over-the-shoulder is correct. Made it look like he does it all the time.

Thanks.  No link on Gameday to the video.  Guess they don't consider it worthy.

Runner on second was coasting home but had to hurry back. Bourn covered alot of ground, and definitely saved a run.

Did Brownie just say that the Astros have the oldest active roster in the league?

Well, that play by Votto hurt.
