    I watched a Sugarland Skeeters game on TV a while back. 50 year old Roger Clemens was pitching and his son was the catcher. He pitched 5 or 6 innings of 2 hit shutout ball.

    Mike Minor is perfect through 3 innings. Let's talk about it and jinx him.

    Astros were up 5-0. Peacock gives up 2 bombs in the 8th and will Harris loses it in the 10th. Morton with 12ks wasted on shitty effort on the bases and bad showing by the bullpen.

    Bregs 2 for 5. Has 10 walks on the season. Near the top of the league.
    Lost 6-5
    10-5 record

    Tonight it's astros ace Verlander against walkon 320lb Bartolo colon. Astros - 345

    Morton was dealing. Had 10 K's in just 5 innings.

    at 16 games, the season is 10% complete,.. 146 more to go,.. Baseball, "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat", lose 60 times and you're a champion.

    Astros continue to struggle at the plate. OK, Colon was perfect for over 7 innings last night, Was he so great or were the bats that cold. What a waste of a great performance by Mr. Upton. Morton, Verlander and Keuchel all pitched well enough to get a W.
