Bourn reached on a bad call by the first base up, then was promptly thrown out at 2nd on an attempted steal. Meanwhile, Carpenter has only needed 20 pitches to get through 3 innings.

Oh, I agree with the aggressiveness, especially when you're up and I'm not faulting the gamble. From the TV perspective you could see it wasn't going to work as soon as Jay got the ball; he can throw and he's accurate too. Castro was chugging.

I can't find the freaking stats but I thought Eschenfelder said that this put them at .500 at home this year.

I could be confused, I am beset by two yelling children, a wife asking questions, and two capering 70 lb dogs. It's a fucking zoo over here.

Becker makes some damn good wines.

Damn right they do, but I find their chardonnay a bit sweet for my personal tastes. One of the things that I enjoy about their port is that it's unusually unsweet for the genre.

I'm big fan of all of Becker's cabernets and the claret. The Iconoclast cab was my house wine for many years.

The Iconoclast is fantabulous. Their claret is excellent too. I don't find the Chard too sweet, but I suppose that's personal preference. It's a good summer night wine.

It's a terrific winery. My parents have lived in F-burg for the last 15 years or so, and Becker's wines are always on the table at their house. My sister got married at the winery. All their wines are good.

Since the Oswalt and Berkman trades, the team is 19-12.

I assume me refusing to stand was for the last out. It is a superstitous thing. But I couldn't see at all and ended up standing for the last two pitches.

First I had Bench stalking me from a parking garage then HH scanning the crowd shots for me. I feel so popular.

Good for you! It offset some premature celebration in the GZ.

Was there a promotion last night? 29k fans for a Tues. night game isn't a bad showing considering the standings.

I do not think so. There are usually a lot of Cards fans when they are in town.

And I watched the replay of the game, and Limey was shown in the 9th inning also. But, I only saw myself once.

I had good seats the last two nights. All free. On Kiss Cam, on TV, 2 shitouts. Good times.

Early on, Wandy's pitch count vs. Carpenter's was looking sick, but he sorted himself out and went 7. Can Byrdak be used to expand Round Rock's roster? I hate it when he comes in. Lopez is a maniac. Pooholes is nearly the same height as Bourn, but isn't hitting as well even though he remains a cocksucker.

Right. Pujols is only second in the league in average, second in RBIs and first in HRs.
