Just tuned in on a break. Top 3rd just ended. Some Rockie hit a two-run homer to bring the score to 4-0, Coloradoans in the lead.

Brownie isn't announcing with JD tonight. One of the Do-Rays? I so rarely pay attention to them that the voice isn't terribly familiar to me.

Atkins smashed the homer. Dolan's in the booth. This game isn't going well in any regard.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #2 on:** June 04, 2009, 07:56:27 pm »

Bottom 3rd, Bourn just hit a double and knocked in a run... didn't see who scored... copy-editing a dissertation while trying to glance at the Astros and report here all at once makes for interesting multi-tasking... 4-1 Colorado now.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #3 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:00:05 pm »

Miggy struck out to end the 3rd. Still 4-1 Colorado-scopies.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #4 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:04:07 pm »

Spilborghs with a solo into the Astros 'pen. 5-1 Colonics.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #5 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:05:37 pm »

Pence, Lee, Berkman up next.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #6 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:07:04 pm »

Is it me, or does it look like whoever invented Joe Morgan's Swing Trainer had some pent-up hard feelings about Jack in the Box Restaurants? Maybe the new taco nachos were the last straw.

moriartp · « **Reply #7 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:08:47 pm »

Hammel's been pretty nasty tonight. He's made Berkman and Tejada look silly, and he's downright embarrassed Hunter.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #8 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:15:03 pm »

Yep. Down 1-2-3 to end the 5th. Carlos' blood pressure went up when he got called for a 3rd strike on a checked swing, but whaddaya gonna do.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #9 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:18:23 pm »

Oh for fuck's sake. Hawpe goes yard, top 5 with 2 outs, to make it 6-1 Rocknees.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #10 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:19:04 pm »

...and while I typed that, Atkins shot one into the Crawfords. 7-1 Mountain Oysters.

This is unbelievable... did Wandy stay up till dawn snorting rails off of strippers?

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #12 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:20:33 pm »

Ortiz warming up in the 'pen.

GEEEEZ. Stewart smacks a double past Lee. Enough with the two-out rally.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #13 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:22:46 pm »

A Big Dude IW'ed to 1B. Hammel promptly strikes out on 3 pitches.

Wonder if Coop'll trot Wandy back out there. Sigh.

hostros7 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:27:32 pm »

E-5 through the legs, Pudge reaches 1st with no outs.

hostros7 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:30:11 pm »

Blum walks on a 3-1 fastball up and out. 1 and 2nd, no outs. Rocknads huddle on the mound.

hostros7 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:32:07 pm »

Maysonet flies to right on an 0-2 fastball, 1 down. Kata pinches for Wandy.

hostros7 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:33:19 pm »

Kata flies to left, catch made on the edge of the track in front of the boxes. 2 down.

hostros7 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:34:36 pm »

Bourn grounds to 1st, 3 outs, 2 men stranded.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #19 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:38:58 pm »

Ortiz now on the mound for the Astros.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #20 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:41:29 pm »

Pudge guns down Barmes at 2B.

Dolan: "Foolish, foolish runners dare to challenge the arm of Pudge Rodriguez... he's got a laser."

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:48:04 pm »

Astros down 1-2-3 to end the 6th. Bleh.

hostros7 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2009, 08:55:45 pm »

Astros need Roy to return to ace form cuz their ace ain't Wandy.

hostros7 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:00:15 pm »

Berkman hits a high fastball the other way off the scoreboard. Puma on 2nd, no outs.

hostros7 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:01:28 pm »

Pudge grounds to short, 1 down. Lance can't advance.

hostros7 · « **Reply #25 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:04:11 pm »

Maysonet singles to left center driving in Puma. 2 down (blum popped to short.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #26 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:04:30 pm »

Twinkie scampers home from 2nd on a Maysonet single. 7-2 Rockies.

hostros7 · « **Reply #27 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:06:45 pm »

Erstad walks on 3-1 just off the corner. Bourn up with men on 1st and 2nd, 2 down.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #28 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:09:03 pm »

Hammel's thrown 21 pitches this inning. 95 total.

hostros7 · « **Reply #29 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:10:00 pm »

Bourn skyed to right on 3-1 on what looked to be ball four. inning over.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #30 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:12:53 pm »

Backe on the mound, runner on 1B, no outs.

Lurch · « **Reply #31 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:13:21 pm »

Wow, some blatent Milo smack there from Do and JD

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #32 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:15:48 pm »

So Backe has managed to load the bases with no outs, and Spilborghs is up.

Whazzat? I missed it.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #34 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:18:03 pm »

Sigh. Spilborghs sac fly'd to CF to bring in a runner. 8-2 COL, runners on 1-2, 1 out.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #35 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:23:10 pm »

I didn't see who hit the two-out single that knocked 2 more Rockies in, but that's what happened. Then the last jocko hit a fly to Gunter.

This is painful. When does the run rule kick in?

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #36 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:24:12 pm »

The Scientologists bought commercial time during an Astros game?!?

hostros7 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:26:47 pm »

The Grocer converted. Cruise will be your staring CF batting leadoff. Pam is now convinced that winning doesn't sell tickets after the attendance did eclipse 25k after a 4 game sun-wed. winning streak. She's pulling out all the stops.

hostros7 · « **Reply #38 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:29:30 pm »

Pence looks more of the '08 vintage this evening. Perhaps Coop had a pep talk with him about how chicks dig the long ball and more chicks = more asses in the Hunter's Lodge seats.

Oh, yes, the Rockies' pitching coach visits the mound because he's so concerned that there are 2 Astros on base with 2 outs and a 1-0 count to Pudge. Did he not watch the previous 7 1/2 innings of this game?

All righty, then, I guess Pudge didn't either. Pudge knocks a single to far RF to score Lee from 2nd and move somebody over to 3rd. 10-3 COL.

94CougarGrad · « **Reply #44 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:37:38 pm »

Yeah.

Ugh. Done.

COL 10 14 1
HOU 3 7 0
