Wandy coughs up a couple of runs in the first on three hits and a walk.

Shocker, I know.

So if Road Wandy pitches a Home game in Milwaukee last year, how does he fare?

Wiggy should have had that triple.

FUCK ME.  Thats how to give away a game right there.  Note on his way back to third he started chatting with Ed while Tejada was trying to buy him time to get home.

Worst base running of the 2008 Astros season. That was inexcusable. What was he thinking?

Brewers take the lead with a 2-run Cameron double.  Mike Lamb scores.

Not alot of traffic in here last night, however, mihoba's recap was dead on--superb job of describing the piss poor baserunning.  Really makes me miss Bags.
