Roy's living dangerously. Getting out of these two innings with only one run allowed is fortunate. I hope he doesn't test them again next inning.

Too many, but they're a team with a whole lot of problems facing teams that don't have as many. One of the problems with the way that stat is used is that it's not commonly known how many times teams do come back late, but it's a very small percentage. If you come back more than five times in a season I think you're beating the odds if I remember correctly.

I wasn't calling you stupid, I was calling the indiscriminate use of that statistic as stupid. I saw the graphic on Fox too.

According to Stats inc., teams who lead after 7 win 90.1% of the time.

This team isn't bad but it is somewhat thin, and the bullpen has been ravaged with no real help in immediate sight. I think it's a lot easier to lose games late than it is to come back and win them, especially when you haven't been scoring many runs. The Astros seem to find themselves losing small leads late but find themselves trailing by larger leads when they get to the later parts of games.

Yeah, they've been bedeviled by the little things all season long, as well as having to somehow overcome their bizarre manager, the loss of their closer and their 7th inning anchor reliever, and one of their best hitters suffering through a terrible slump. If they can get past the injury problems you'd think they'd stand a good chance at ripping off a decent win streak but the age of this team means that injuries are going to happen more often.

Awesome. I'm really excited about this.

This was a terrible evening to have to go to the airport and pick up some guests rather than watch the game. I enjoy mocking the idiots sitting behind the plate playing grabass with each other. It's got to be a lot more fun when you actually know them. In fact, I think I'm going to queue up the archive on mlb.tv, at least until Berkman gets tossed.

Berkman doesn't swear, by the way.

My roommate's buddy pointed it out before JD did... I rewound it and watched and said "yeahhh, I know that guy."

Ybbogump replied: "It's a household name."

He is the dipshit currently talking on the phone.

That hurts. Especially since I was responding to my children telling me that I had best dial it in a tad, given I was warranting unnecessary attention for my unusual (for the front row) behavior.

In light of JimR's judgemental opinion, I am officially awarding Taras 5 strokes a side tomorrow morning as penance (I'm Baptist, so I'm not exactly sure how to spell that).

Thanks for reminding me about the kiddie treats, Homer; they'll thank me tomorrow.

Wish your 275 yard drives were joining us tomorrow, Sporadic.

Roy's strike out curve to Hall is so slow that during the pitch YB had time to contort himself in order to turn around and sternly instruct Limey to quit dribbling Shiner down the back of his golf shirt and then smartly right ship in time to see the whiff and applaud merrily. Limey appeared disconsolate as the idea of wasted Shiner sunk in.

Okay, then, six strokes a side.
