Why the heck do you bat Bourn 8th and Towles 9th? Wouldn't the reverse make a lot more sense? At least Towles has some power for a sac fly.

Flastros, play this Robot game.
It's called "Robots Attack." I can get a high score of 7,500! Just double click on "Start" on top right to begin. Just move your mouse cursor to move. Press the space bar to pause the game. The game won't stop unless your character dies, or you can just press space bar to pause the game and re-enter thread also. You can shoot with either the letter "A" button or by clicking the left side of your mouse. I find it's much easier just to keep pushing the "A" button and moving your mouse.

Flastros, here's a tip: Move the mouse cursor close to your character.

I'm here. I'd say about 40 per cent are Astros jerseys. Seats are first row just past the Rangers dugout. Go Astros!!

Hunter Pence leads off the game with a groundball out to third base.
Not the way I wanted the game to start.

Kaz Matsui doubled to center field! It's off the glove of Josh Hamilton. He nearly made a great catch. Runner on second base, one out for Miguel Tejada. Come on Miggy!

Miguel Tejada worked a full count.
A very good at-bat, fouling off some pitches now. Miguel Tejada struck out on a ball four that was low and outside. He had to swing I guess... Too tempting. Come on, Lance Berkman! Put us up 2-0 with one swing!

Lance Berkman flied out to deep left field.
Caught on the warning track... Man oh man... Even when he's out, the ball still travels far. Astros stranded a runner in scoring position. Ouch! 0-0 game in the middle of the 1st.

If they'd been reading the clippings, they would have intentionally walked him.

Ian Kinsler flied out to Carlos Lee on the warning track, near the scoreboard in left field.
Some deep flyball outs tonight. Woah... Very deep to say the least. Go Shawn Chacon... Get yourself a win tonight!

Michael Young lined out to Kaz Matsui.
Nevermind... An error on Matsui who can't catch a routine liner... Hmm, even I could have caught that and I'm out of shape at 6'5 and 332. 8th error of the season for Kaz Matsui. I don't get that... Runner on first for the Rangers...

Wow I must say I was one of the big proponets of Kaz's D at 2b, but he's been awful. Making errors out of routine groundballs.

Josh Hamilton singled into left field.
Runners on first and second, one out for Milton Bradley. That error could lead to trouble... We need a double play here.
