    This offense is amazingly good at letting struggling pitchers off the hook.

    Check swing ground out by Blum then Feliz goes after a nearly identical pitch to the one that he popped out on with the bases loaded his last time up.

    I just realized Sullivan is hitting 5th. I'm happy to see Feliz hitting in the 7th hole, but Sullivan in the 5th? Really?

    Kepp's bad throw contributed to that trainwreck.

    Weird play.

    More bad defense from the Astros. I think we are lucky the didn't call interference on Quintero.

    Q looks like he was waiting for the 3-count. :grin:

    This offense owes Paulino a win.

    First time I've ever seen that. Quintero was just looking around to see if someone was going to get the ball, then I think was faking hurt.

    It was pretty comical. I agree, I'm surprised they didn't call interference.

    I suppose that Q's acting job was the equivalent of a good flop in basketball. :grin:

    Wow, I thought he would get Bourn at home when I saw the ball coming in.

    Zambrano yanked. He must be on about an 85-pitch count since going back to starter.

    Let's add to this lead right here.

    Alright, Puma. From the right side, too.

    They also probably wanted to turn Berkman around. Didn't work.

    And Soriano played it poorly. Shocker.

    They said 80 pitch when Lou came out, so that was the reason. I thought that ball was gone off the bat. Nice to see Berkman get a double right handed.

    I love Mills putting Pence in there in that spot. Lets go Blummer!

    Pence finally hits double-digits in walks.

    Anything but you know what here.

    I have no faith in Feliz but at least we get another shot.

    I expect a weak pop out but he'll probably hit a GS since I have no faith.

    Have no fear, Pedro "Pop out" Feliz will get it done.
