I was wondering what crazy hijinks that therapist would have with the News Radio gang.

But, someone (Kaz presumably) is on second and Bourn is up with no outs.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Nope, game is on 740, but not on FSH, either.

Kaz with the leadoff double.

Damn, my MLB.TV is behind. That just now happened.

[Bill sets up a cubicle around his desk]

Dave: Have you thought about how this will make your co-workers feel?

Bill: Actually, one of the great things about the cubicle is not having to think about my co-workers at all.

Damn. Whatever happened to double play depth? Tejada's been playing shallow the last couple of days.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #11 on:** May 03, 2009, 01:17:20 pm »

Nice 5-4-3 dp though. Astros leading the majors in double plays. Which means I don't know shit about Tejada playing shallow.

That seems like a good news/bad news stat. It's nice that they're turning them, but it probably means there are a lot of folks on the bases. I wonder where they rank on baserunners allowed.

Miggy with a PERFECT relay to Pudge to get Francoeur at home by inches!

Ron Brand · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2009, 01:30:51 pm »

Unfortunately Bourn was a hair late and his throw to the plate was beaten by a Brave whose name I didn't catch. 1-1, two out in the fourth, runners on 1st and 2nd.

JaneDoe · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2009, 01:52:35 pm »

Balk called on Wandy with the bases loaded after an IBB to Chipper.

Astros 1, Braves 2

Francoer hits a SF, Infante scores

Astros 1, Braves 3

Still in bottom 5th

Brocail in the 8th is injured tripping over first on a grounder to Puma. RedAss is stiff and being helped off the field, looks like either his back or his left leg is screwed up but hard to tell. They're taking him off in a cart.

We're running out of relievers in a hurry. What's the word on Sampson?

If you watch the replay closely, he does trip over first, but it looks like his leg gives way just a bit before the trip. Whatever happened, he lay on the ground in a push-up position and did not move. They rolled him on his side and helped him up and into the cart.

JaneDoe · « **Reply #20 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:21:14 pm »

JD says it is a hurt hamstring for Brocail.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #21 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:21:41 pm »

Russ Ortiz is in.

JD announces that Brocail injured his hamstring.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #22 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:26:25 pm »

Sorry, got distracted. Whoever batted for Atlanta flied out to Bourn for out #2.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #23 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:28:29 pm »

Runner on 1B.

Crap. 3-1 count, batter (Jones?) walked. Runners on 1B and 2B, Francoeur up to bat. Coop gets Ortiz outta there.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #24 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:33:24 pm »

Hawkins in for his 700th career appearance, making him 11th among active pitchers.

Hawkins v. Francoeur:

B, B low n' inside, B low (Francoeur checked his swing, we lost the appeal to 1st), foul, foul, Swinging S!

AFTER 8: Astros 7, Braves 5.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #25 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:33:33 pm »

Hawkins gets the big K to end the 8th, 7-5 Good Guys.

Top 9:

Mike Gonzalez in for the Bravos. Arriba.

Bourn: Bunt foul; Ball low; Ball high; Single sharp to shallow RF. Bourn on 1B.

Kinda a strange little rocking-chair kinda windup Gonzalez has there... very distracting...

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #28 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:38:34 pm »

Twinkie, batting R: Ball; aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Bourn takes a lead and shoots for 2B; Gonzalez throws to 1B, who relays immediately to 2B for the tag. 1 out.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #29 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:41:21 pm »

Twinkie cont'd: foul tip; ball; foul; rips a single straight to the 3B, throw to 1B for out #2.

El Ranchero Grande: S; B; whacked to the LF warning track, caught for out #3.

Middle 9: Astros 7, Bravos 5.

I wonder... does Gonzalez get called for many balks with that little rocking thing he's got going?

Bottom 9:

Jason Michaels replaces Lee in LF for the Good Guys. Hawkins still pitching.

Strained left hamstring is Brocail's official diagnosis, sez JD.

Prado: B; perfect S; low B; S, a bit high and called a second late, drawing a low boooo from the Bravos fanos; foul; foul bouncing off the dish; Brownie says, "Cecil Cooper will worry about what to do with that bullpen tomorrow"; bouncing grounder to Miggy, throw to 1B for out #1.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #32 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:51:20 pm »

Hawkins v. Matt Diaz: B; shows bunt for a S; S right down the middle; B; Quintero is shown onscreen and Brownie comments that Q hopes to be back next Sunday; B outside and at (as opposed to in) the dirt; foul; foul; foul; S, caught lookin'. Out #2.

Ron Brand · « **Reply #33 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:54:29 pm »

Tough win today but good to take a series from the Braves. On to Washington!

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #34 on:** May 03, 2009, 03:54:55 pm »

Hawkins v. Sammons: S; foul; foul; B in the dirt; B in the dirt again; S! Good Guys win!
