    Amazingly, that's only the 2nd walk-off of his career.

    I remember seeing the last one a year or two ago.

    Astros got kind of lucky, they could have easily said Lance swung on the previous pitch. They said he didn't and he hit the next one for the game winner.

    Berkman is 5-for-8 with 2 walks in his career against Capps.

    Capps is a punk. That felt good.

    Nice to see the little kids at the park cheering. It doesn't matter to them what the Astros record is. Exciting win.

    Totally random and possibly offensive to DD's kids, but how would you rank Hazel Mae on the MILF scale?

    I'd have to say about an 8.5, maybe a 9.

    We really did. Saw the replay this morning and he definitely went around.

    Meh. It all averages out. We've gotten some awful calls against us this year with runners at the plate, runners at 2nd base and just general ball/strike calls.

    Wandy gives up 2 H, 1 BB, 1 WP, 1 ER in the 1st.

    Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come up. He's been saying that he hasn't been able to control his pitches since ST.

    And Carlos Lee's nightmare season continues.

    Men on 1st and 2nd, 1 out, Lee at the plate = GIDP

    He's on a career high pace in that category. He's hitting a lot of balls on the ground this season and obviously not making good contact, in general.

    I actually just checked his GB/FB for 2010 and it's right around his career norm.

    The problem may actually be that his fly balls are largely soft pop outs. FB inclues both line drives and soft flies.

    He's also obviously not hitting for much power as his career low .330 SLG% would indicate.

    Pence had a .987 OPS over the last 28 days coming into today.

    1.010 over the last 14.

    1.148 over the last 7.

    It's been a great month for him.
