    Why is it amazing that I know how to tweet? I've been involved in computers longer than the vast majority of this board has been alive.

    Astros were #1 in runs per game but against the playoffs contenders...2, 2, and 1 runs.

    Straw has to be able to bunt, right?

    If not, this may the single-worst possible game out of a backup OF in Astros history.

    That last pitch to Kemp was pretty similar to that called strike on Maldonado on the opposite side.

    3-28 with RISP tonight.

    Neither team has any interest in winning this game.

    Watching the young pitchers in these type of situations is kinda fun. You cant buy these experience points at the store.

    Loading the bases and getting a steady diet of 89 mph fastballs sounds pretty good. Not taking advantage of that has got to sting!
