I'm guessing Pudge singled in Bourn after a triple

and Lee sacrificed in Pudge after an Erstad double. Just guesses.

Either way...

2-0, middle of the 3rd.

Ortiz is rolling...
Fantasy Draft?

Haven’t heard anything on it.
Are we doing it? Did I miss it?

awww!

We posted all last week about the drafts…sorry you missed it! I asked that everyone email me again if they wanted in…

Our bad.

ah, I was on the list

Didn’t realize that I needed to email you again. No big deal.

sorry about that

we just had a couple people email and say they couldn’t participate, so we had everyone email us again to make sure before we sent out invites

Turned radio on...

Sound like I’m joining the top of the 7th
Abercrombie in center.
Michaels in right
Johnson at 3rd
Blum at SS
Santangelo at Catcher
hawkins pitching….

(announced changes, I guess)

Couple of quick ground ball outs for Hawkins.
score?

the boxscore updates so freakin slow..

Haven't said

I suppose it is still 4-3 Astros

3-2 count on Infante (batter)

He grounds it to first.
Inning over.

awesome

thanks for the updates, entropic

Santagelo (?)

Hits a shot to the warning track… but falls short and is caught.

Erstad lays down a bunt and beats the throw.

Lee currently fouls a pitch off for strike 2.

Erstad runs on the pitch!!!!

Carlos swings!!!

Left field!

Going, going, gone!!!

7-3 Astros.

Abercrombie grounds out

Half of Blumger (?) to bat

i don't know who's pitching, but he's not doing well.

Blum hits a double off the wall.

Michaels hits a bullet to third

And goes right by the third baseman, Blum rounds and scores.

Smith grounds out to 2nd

Inning over.

8-3 Astros

boxscore says

Kris Medlen

Well, Kris Medlen is not having a good day, then.
interesting

Chris Johnson was not sent down, like Maysonet was..

I doubt he still makes the team, but Kepp has played some short stop

Most likely Johnson will be with the minor leaguers soon

Hmm...

Will Smith make the team then?

I think so

and for what it’s worth, McTaggart does as well

Ortiz with a good outing

According to the boxscore

Ortiz IP 6.0 H5 R3 ER2 BB 0 SO 5 hr 1 ERA 3.18

Top 8th inning

Fulchino pinching.

Ground out to the pitcher.

1 out.

Prado

After 0-2 count (i think) hits pop up that is caught. by someone??? not sure who. Over the shoulder catch.

And a ground ball to second ends the inning.
yessss

three more outs

Bottom 8

Johnson bats… on the second pitch, he skies one to the outfield which is easily caught.

get some ABs in AAA, Chris

…but hurry back to the Astros!

Barnwell is hitting for Hawkins

I have no idea who that is.

He grounds out though.

Santangelo bats now.
Grounds out to third.

I think they said Lance plans to play tomorrow.
They may have been talking about someone else. I missed the name, but they were talking an arm injury, so could have been him.

Missed who is pitching

Sorry.. doing a bunch of stuff right now.

Still Fulchino
Walks the lead off hitter.
Missed the end

But no Braves scores.
Astros win!!

huzzzaaahhhhhhh

we’ve won 9/11..not bad, not bad

that's nine out of eleven games

not the actual 9/11…

Oswalt vs. Harang tomorrow.
niccccceee matchup
Pudge to bat second to start the season

From the horse’s mouth on radio interview. Pudge says he likes the idea of batting in front of Lance Berkman.

Who wouldn't?
