Nice.  I've been away on business all week and it doesn't look like I missed much.  But last night was refreshing.

McLouth given the IBB so Borkowski could face face Doumit (and his .396 RISP).  Single to left scores another...

Berkman grounds into a 3-6-3 double play (looked safe at 1B on the replay), allowing Bourn to score.  Blum flies out to end the inning.

Pirates put blanked for the first time this game after a nice DP by Miggy and Matsui (after a Matsui error on the previous play).

Sometimes they switch in the middle.  I watched the 9th inning of Roy-O's three-hitter when Channel 50 chose not switch until late.  I tuned in earlier tonight and saw an infomercial for this incredible device that helps you do push-ups.

Berkman snaps the 0-27 snide with a grounder up the middle (after fouling off a number of pitches).  2 outs, runners at the corners in the top of the 9th.

And Blum pops up to left on the 1st pitch to end it.

Astros blow a TON of chances in this game...
