JaneDoe · « **Reply #12 on:** July 02, 2009, 03:20:40 pm »

Tejada shoots a single to RF.
Fat Elvis cranks a double to the wall in LF, Tejada tries to score from 1st. OUT at the plate. Berkman takes 3rd on the relay.

Miguel tried to slide in on the back corner, but the throw took the catcher there. (*If he had come in toward the front of the plate, he probably would have been safe. *per JD)

Lee singles to LF. Berkman scores Astros 3, Padres 0

Blum called out on strikes

Thunderpants grounds into a FC (SS to 2B) Lee out at 2nd.

Miggy could have avoided that tag fairly easily but he was headed right at Blanco.

Very high chop to third. Carlos was hauling ass down the line and juuuust beat the throw. It was indeed a legitimate infield single.

Yes, an inside slide would have beat the tag. Ideally Carlos would have been wildly waving him over.

Have you ever been stuck by one of those 2" cactus barbs, right through your hiking boot? I have. It hurts.

And there is the fauna too: Mountain Lions, coyotes, tarantulas, brown recluse, black widows, scorpions, rattle snakes, etc... And, even more in the ocean. None of it is terrifying or anything like that, it's just very different than the east coast outdoor experience. If I'm gonna die here, it will be because I failed to roll my kayak properly, not because something jumped out of a tree and ate me.

My dogs chew on everything too...except the oleanders. I suppose there is a risk, but there's a risk of them chewing on the electrical cords in the house too, I don't live without electricity. My point was that oleanders are common ornamental plants throughout the coastal south, never thought of them as killer flora.
