A 2 run lead by the Pirates. It's getting close to the point where the Astros need to greenlight the snipers.
A lot of the outdoor teams that opened last Monday also had Tuesday off for the same reason, and many ended up using it due to Monday rainouts. I think they just plan it that way so people can buy tickets for "opening day" and have less chance to miss out on it. If the schedule was Mon/Tues/Wed with Thursday off, then if you bought tickets for Monday and the game was rescheduled for Thursday, you'd miss the home opener stuff.
Yeah, I was just looking at some schedules and saw that for a lot of teams. I do wonder why they didn't do that for everybody though. The Cards didn't get a "rain day" and neither did the Marlins, Padres, Giants, Rockies, Tigers, Royals, Indians, Angels, A's, or Yankees! .
FU, Tejada! Ahhh....bad hop. Astros luck is in the dumps, man. Think Slumdog Millionare when the kid took an outhouse turd bath.
He was sparkling during the pre-season and has been terrible the last two starts (including today). A leigitimate injury would not surprise me. Also, Zach Duke is on my fantasy team... I am so conflicted.
