    Bourn has the longest AB of the night and earns the first walk from Zambrano. Great job.

    Zambrano continuing to own the Astros as he's done for the last couple of years.

    No runs, 2 hits, 1 walk and only 70 pitches through 6.

    We can't blame this one on Ike, either.

    Ouch, Lance. We need to hope for Blum to come through here in a big way

    Phew, nice job Geoff. Gets Wandy off the hook at least, he certainly didn't deserve a loss tonight.

    So it won't be Hampton tomorrow. It's Ortiz, Hampton, Oswalt according to Zach.

    Take out the Moehler blip yesterday and we've had some real good SPing over the last couple of weeks.

    Nice catch by Pence there... that heavy bat of Soriano makes balls fly.

    Tejada's lack of athleticism cost us the DP there.

    Gah, that should've been a double play.

    Anyone have any advice on what I should do with Milton Bradley? I have him in my fantasy team and he's on the bench right now. Would you keep patience with him despite his general suckitude or would you ditch him? He could be explosive if he gets back to his best.

    OK, I bow down to Sampson's bullpen dominance (no emoticon for this). 3 pitch SO of ***-u-do-me.

    Didn't he get an early rep as a Cub killer when he first started for us?

    Either way, he makes up for Tejada's inability to get that DP.

    i know it's not based on much (this season), but i just can't bring myself to trust the guy. have a sense of impending doom every time he's out there. he's been nails though.

    Is Bradley on a constant mission to injure himself?

    If I recall correctly, he excelled out of the pen last season, too, before the elbow issue.

    I think that's correct. He's pretty much been lights out since they moved him out of the rotation early last season.

    I believe if you breathe too heavily near him, he is likely to go on the 15-day DL. :D

    We would really be stealing one away here if we can get it done.

    How about Puma with a walkoff for his 300th career HR?
