Oh boy!! A 1 run lead going into the ninth. The question is can Valverde get anyone out?
|

Lance Berkman popped up in the infield... A few feet past the infield...
Astros lead 6-4 going into the top of the 9th. Jose Valverde is entering the game for the save. We need this win!

Kaz and Miggy crank out two critical clutch hits!
Here's to you, Ed Wade. |

Wright can pick up W #2 if Valverde can seal-the-deal.

If Cooper sticks with Junior Varsity after he puts more than one runner on, I'm gonna puke | ||
|
He cannot make the same mistake as the last time and stick with JV...he can't. But he probably will. Damn.

Jose Valverde's entrance music for good luck!

1 out...2 to go.
2 outs...1 to go. |

Willie Taveras flied out to center field for the first out.
Troy Tulowitzki is up to bat for the Rockies. He grounded out to Blum at third base! Jose Valverde is one out away from the save. Astros lead 6-4 in the top of the 9th, two outs, nobody on base and Todd Helton up to bat.

Todd Helton worked a full count...
The fans at Minute Maid Park are on their feet. Todd Helton walked... Dammett.. Matt Holliday will represent the potential tying run now...
|
|||
GlenM47 |
OH CRAP! | ||
|
Helton walks and here comes Holliday. |

I wonder if Valverde kicks a puppy after every save...
|

Baggyland |

Is it just me or does Valverde have a terrible fielding position after he throws a pitch. This guy ain't winning any gold gloves. I'd be interested to
see how many assists he has in his career.

Matt Holliday got an infield hit... Slow roller to Blum at third base and Blum had no play...
Rockies have runners on 1st and 2nd base, two outs and Garrett Atkins steps into the plate. Rockies can take the lead with one swing... Drama time!
|
|||

A walk...a single....go ahead run at the dish.
|

...and two for each blown save.
C'mon now here now, hey now hey! |
|||
GlenM47 |
That's it, PULL HIM DAMN IT! | ||
|
I hope you had someone getting ready as soon as Valverde entered the game, cause we CANNOT LOSE THIS GAME! Please Coop, for the love of God go yank his ass
off the mound!
