Brewers at Astros: Sausage + Beer Farts = Roof Open, Please
By Craig Elliott
The Astros took two of three from the Snakes, thanks to some eye-popping offense and nice pitching from Wandy and Citgo. And while Ensberg and Berkman are totally on fire, I think some of the credit may also go to my secret-weapon Adam Everett T-shirt that I bought on Opening Day. Saturday night I just thought about wearing it, and Dude had a double and a homer. And on Sunday the Astros were behind 2-1 when I put on the shirt and went outside to work in the yard. Came back inside half an hour later and it was 8-3.
So now the Astros are on top of the division, but everyone else except Pittsburgh is within a game. And it’s April so the standings don’t matter yet anyway. Milwaukee started the season hot, but they’ve lost their last two series (to the Jakes and the fucking Mets). The Brewers just got Ben Sheets back from the DL, but he got knocked around Sunday and won’t be pitching in this series anyway.

Yvette must have gotten a sweet deal on magnetic schedules, because they’re the promo giveaway for the first two games of this series. Those things are massively useful, so if anyone scores an extra schedule, please hook me up. Otherwise I might miss a Pittsburgh series in the middle of the season, when they all start to run together.
