Pretty special night so far, with Bud's fine first pitch, The Altuve's jack and the 4K inning.

I think Jeff Luhnow is a big fan of The Altuve. Funny thing is that on Luhnow's arrival I got the impression that he was anything but an Altuve believer... |

Statistically Altuve doesn't stand a chance |

I don't recall ever hearing him referred that way. No reason other than that. |

Biggio was no pissant, he was a team-killing Agent of Doom for the Astros. |

I don't think you can be a pissant if your talent exceeds a certain level. The guys that are pissants are the ones who don't seem like they should be beating you but are anyway. With Biggio you could clearly understand why he was beating you. |

Carlos doing a legit job at 1B this year. Nice grab by the fence with the spin-and-turn spot-on throw to 3B to hold the runner at 2B.

Am I understanding you correctly that fernando vina and david eckstein did not have talent that exceeded a certain level? |

And Error-miss with one of the baserunning variety allows his to get doubled off at 2B after the lazy pop to Bogusevic in RF. End 3: HOU 1, MIL 0

Weeks with a nice leaping grab to rob Bud of a hit to lead-off T4.

You have to be short to be a pissant. Hell, Vina was listed at 5 foot 9 inches, so he was either a liar or a bigger than average pissant.

They didn't exceed the talent level of a pissant. They were guys who would beat you and you'd say, "How the hell did that happen?" |

Fernando Vina was THE pissant. Shane Victorino has a lot of pissant in him too. |
