I'm so excited! I get to go to the Astros game for the second night in a row! Maybe I can get another Ziegenbock!

Ho Chen is seeking your cutest dog photos and Ashby loves it. Blow it up AT&T.

1-0 A's going into B2.

Gomes totally robs Carter of a 2 RBIs.

NeilT · « **Reply #4 on:** August 26, 2014, 08:03:19 pm »

There have been several hard-hit well-played balls.

subnuclear · « **Reply #5 on:** August 26, 2014, 08:04:40 pm »

Yes, but that one was particularly annoying. Made me say a bad word out loud.

subnuclear · « **Reply #6 on:** August 26, 2014, 08:16:29 pm »

Fowler smacks one to RF. Athletics 2-1. No outs. 4th inning.

jbm · « **Reply #7 on:** August 26, 2014, 08:52:35 pm »

Another good start for the Astros. Keuchel keeping em in it through six. Still 2-1 A's, but the "heart" of the order coming up for the good guys.

BudGirl · « **Reply #8 on:** August 26, 2014, 08:57:49 pm »

I think the heart has a murmur.

jbm · « **Reply #9 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:06:46 pm »

It does. On to good news: Appel with 7 innings of shutout ball so far for the Hooks and the Redhawks, in a tight race for a playoff, are whipping up on the Isotopes.

I wish I hadn't cut Hammel from my FBBT.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #11 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:20:59 pm »

I would tweet a picture of my dog Phoebe but I don't have a twitter account and Phoebe wont quit hassling that frog in the back yard and come in to get her picture taken.

I think Dierker handles Ashby better than Brownie.

+1

Ashby is better at PBP and Dierker is done some great color the last two days.

subnuclear · « **Reply #15 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:33:52 pm »

First fielding mistake by the A's I've seen.

subnuclear · « **Reply #16 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:36:28 pm »

Wow, is he going to do this every night?

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #17 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:36:45 pm »

Three run bomb Chris Carter!!!

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #18 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:37:55 pm »

Dierker, "he did admire it too long, but he knew where it was going."

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #19 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:41:08 pm »

Carter does his thing. And the Astros take the lead 4-2 going into the ninth.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #20 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:42:17 pm »

Qualls in to drive the nails.

jbm · « **Reply #21 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:43:13 pm »

Carter has become quite the clutch bomber lately.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #22 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:44:16 pm »

Dierker, "Matt Dominguez throws as well as any third baseman I've ever seen." One nail hammered.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #23 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:46:38 pm »

Grossman catches a flyball in left field. Two nails.

Col. Sphinx Drummond · « **Reply #24 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:49:29 pm »

Full count. Strike three called, last nail driven. Coffin closed. Astros win!

jbm · « **Reply #25 on:** August 26, 2014, 09:54:20 pm »

Great to see a comeback win. Kind of forgot what they looked like.

Ashby is better at PBP

Better than what?!?! The only good part of the CSN debacle is not suffering through him. I did catch him butchering the call of Carter's HR.

NeilT · « **Reply #27 on:** August 26, 2014, 10:00:20 pm »

And nobody made me drink ziegenbock.

chuck · « **Reply #28 on:** August 26, 2014, 10:14:09 pm »

Intriguing.

Better than him doing color where he is more likely to try and make "jokes."
