Rangers 3, Astros 1 - Top of the 3rd.
Ty Wigginton grounded out... One out, but Erstad went to third base. Michael Bourn is up to bat now.

I hate playing the Rangers.
The Astros will kick ass on better teams. It's the Silver Boot thing...

Michael Bourn grounded out -- deep to the shortstop.
Two outs, but plenty good enough to score Erstad. RBI groundout for Michael Bourn... Good job. Rangers lead 3-2 in the top of the 2nd.

Starting the comeback a little early, aren't we?

J.R. Towles grounded out to the third baseman.
Rangers lead 3-2 in the middle of the 2nd. Come on Shawn Chacon, pitch a shutout the rest of the night!

And, to whoever posted that obviously Silver Boot - that was made of silver.
No, no, no! The original Silver Boot was made of glass. |

Let me know what happens in the bottom of the 2nd.
I need to go and unload these 5 cans of Diet 7up I've been drinking. I'm drinking so much Diet Soda lately... 
Nevermind, I'll hold it in... For now... I don't want to miss any of the game.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia popped up in the infield.
Even Flastros could have caught that easy pop fly. One out... Come on, Chacon.

Ramon Vazquez grounded out to Matsui.
Good athletic play by Matsui to field it and throw it to first base. Sigh, but Matsui can't make the easy routine plays. He can make the tougher plays though. Two outs for Ian Kinsler.

Michael Young grounded out to Tejada.
Nice play by Tejada... Who said his defensive skills were declining back in the offseason? He should win a Gold Glove in the National League this season. Rangers lead 3-2 after 2 innings. Hunter Pence, Kaz Matsui and Miguel Tejada are due up in the top of the 3rd. No more games... It's time to grab the bull by the horn and take the lead. Go Astros!

Hunter Pence leads off the top of the 3rd with a groundball out to shortstop.
Come on Kaz Matsui, spark a one-out rally.

Kaz Matsui flied out to left center field.
Come on, Tejada! Tie this game with one swing of the bat. Might as well swing for the fences with two outs and nobody on base.

Miguel Tejada struck out.
Rangers lead 3-2 in the middle of the 3rd. Rangers suck... The Astros are just playing poorly so far. No big deal, plenty of ballgame left tonight.

Right where we want them. They'll have to pitch to Lance to start the 4th.

Josh Hamilton leads off the bottom of the 3rd with a home run to right center field.
Rangers lead 4-2 in the bottom of the 3rd. Shawn Chacon is leaving the ball up a little bit. Milton Bradley flied out to Michael Bourn in center field. A liner really, nice catch by Bourn for the first out.

Frank Catalanotto grounded out to Erstad at first base.
The Rangers stranded a runner on base. Shawn Chacon just needs to settle down and pitch a few shutout innings from here on out. Rangers lead 4-2 after 3 innings. Astros have Berkman, Lee and Erstad due up in the top of the 4th. Time to score a couple of runs right now... Go Astros!

Sidney Ponson will provide this offense with many runs at some point. It's only a matter of when and in what inning. I'm thinking we score 12 runs
tonight. But that's just me.
