If we were playing the Brewers, it would be 4-0 right now.

Some pretty good D by the Astros today.

 

Just wish I could watch it because stupid MLBTV is being dumb.

 

Yes, I'm going to complain about this until it's fixed.

Hey if we get a homer an inning 9 runs should be enough really.

Gameday Audio won't let me listen to Pat and Ron either. It's telling me there's a "media error" and that I should "try again in a few minutes." It's been telling me that for the past half an hour.
