Astros @ FTCs 9-7-10
« on: September 07, 2010, 07:20:06 pm »
Astros lead 1-0 on a triple by Bourn followed by a Kepp RBI single.

Lee has every right to be pissed.  He was safe.  Not even close.

If it's half-full, 7 or 8 thousand of those folks are invisible.

Damn, did Pence stop for a hot dog before going after that ball in the corner?  I know he failed geometry in Jr. High, but damn.

Oh hell. DoRay talking about growing up in Nebraska and Iowa, respectively.

No, you are not exaggerating.  I think they are worse than Milo.  And they are not even in the closet about being homers for the cubs.

In case anyone's curious here, Tri-City (the first Astros farm team to make the playoffs since Salem in 2007) is now in the 10th inning of Game 1, tied 9-9. They were up 7-2 early, then down 9-7 entering the bottom 9th got a 2-run homer from Chris (?) Wallace to tie it. Best of 3 series, with this being their only home game.

Straightaway CF, probably 10-15 ft beyond the 408 sign.

And serendipitously the ball bounced back onto the field and was relayed to the bench.

Was not descriptive enough.  It was very shallow LF and he was flying to barely beat it

And the Valleycats win it, 10-9, on a walk-off HR in bottom 11th by Daniel Adamson, who had entered the game as a pinch runner. Game 2 is 7pm tomorrow at Batavia.
