A Carter single and Castro blast gives the good guys the lead.

1 - 2  Astros after the 1st.

I wish Cosart could get his mechanics figured out. They gave his BB walk in June when he did so well. Forgot the number but they were few.

I'm not usually good at these type of discussions unless I have had about  4 - 8 Coronas...  But I think I see what you mean.

I also feel uncomfortable with this type discussion because it reminds me of how ignorant I really am about indigenous culture.

There hasn't been enough for that kind of thinking. 

Chris Carter sure looks like a different player.

Astros plate 1 in the bottom of the 5th but Fish still lead 5 - 3.

Can we please not give the run straight back in the next frame.

Don't worry, I picked him up for my other fantasy team for next week. That ought to shut him down.

Fish add a couple of insurance runs and now lead 7 - 3 after 8 1/2.

I don't think is enough though, I feel like there is a big rally on the way.
