Well, I’m not too big on the book learnin’ like some of those other contributors but I do know that there was some old, fancy writin’ that started out, “It was the worst of times. It was the best of times.” Or something like that. For the second straight night, the Good Guys scored loads in the 8th and more in the 9th to overcome a not so good outing from Woody Williams and take their second consecutive short series sweep.

Lookie! Falling Down! Loud noises!
The good times keep right on rolling as the ‘Stros opened a can late and moved within a half game of first in the Central, percentage points ahead of the Skyline Cornholes. The magic number is now 149 – it’s never too early to start counting, people. Read the rest of this entry »
Astros at Reds – The Dining Car is Closed
On April - 18 - 2007
By Craig Elliott
The Astros have won six of their last eight, and have evened the record at 6-6. Not bad considering the team’s best hitter hasn’t accomplished much besides setting up a snack bar at first. He also tried to set up a hot dog stand, but Luke Scott kept kicking over the bun warmer with the flippers from his frogman suit.
Now the Astros get to visit four cities in a nine-day road trip, including a one-day stop in sunny Philadelphia. Throw in Cincinnati, Milwaukee, and Pittsburgh, and, well, that’s better than Spring Break, baby. The only thing missing is Foghat’s tour bus.
The Reds are leading the division and are a game ahead of the Astros. As usual, Adam Dunn is leading the team in homers (4) and strikeouts (16). Josh Hamilton also has three homers. Aaron Harang and Matt Belisle each have two wins. Edwin Encarnacion got benched recently for not running out a pop fly.

AP recap
Seems the only drama late in this game was if Bruce “Backstop” Froemming would remain upright for the entire nine. The veteran home plate ump had regular visits with Astros trainer Rex Jones due to numerous body shots, and even took a deflection off of a Pigpen plunk. The Black and Blue toughed it out as the Astros hooked the Marlins 6-1 and swept the short series at Minute Maid Park. Read the rest of this entry »
