    Feliz rips one to CF... bounces away from Rasmus... El Caballo (he gets his nickname back for this game) scores.

    Castro showing his good eye... adds a BB to his 2 hits.

    Bases juiced, no outs... Byrdak hitting... his 1st PA of the season, not surprisingly.

    Ooh, I hope he gets the three-inning save.

    I think he'll pitch one more inning at most... already at 20 pitches. Won't be a save situation.

    If he hit a grand slam that would have to be one of the greatest performances in a game of all time.

    Damn.

    17-4 bases loaded nobody out...

    I mean, damn.


    I don't like the Cards at all, but... damn.


    Almost enough to make me want to yell 'Mercy!'

    Even with the lack of walk skills, he can still be this generation's Shea Hillenbrand... league average or slightly better at 3B and under club control for a lot of years. :) After the past few years, any young MLB-average talent from within this system feels like finding gold...

    That's the truth.

    I think that's a good comparison, and not only because anything that brings DBC on board is a good thing.

    Before that hit, Pence was the only Astro who had at least 1 AB in this game without a hit, other than Byrdak. Even Norris got 1.

    Loving this team right now...young and fun.

    Just wish I could find a new home for Carlos.

    Definitely enjoying this ride, easy team to root for.

    Does this game remind anyone of the beating we put on St. Louis back in '07, remember Towles
