BOOMAH. I said in IM with piney61 after the seventh: "I love when he has awesome games like that. It makes me want to post big fat TOLD YOU SOs all over my journal. BECAUSE I DID." So it's a good thing I don't do TOLD YOU SOs. Final score: 7-0, with Boomer, Timlin and Foulke combining to give up just the one hit. And Manny had his third consecutive game with a homerun, and then he made out with Millar. Okay, not really. At least not during the game.

So all_ahoo loaned me use of her MLBTV account, because she is the Queen of Awesome, so I got to watch Pettitte after all.

Uh. Oh man. Oh Astros. A a few innings ago, I was all planning a letter to them scolding them for leaving eighty basquillion men on base (like, it's nice of you guys to want to emulate the Red Sox, but maybe you should try that in some other department) while Andy's out there pitching a lovely game, only giving up three runs, and for once there was no excuse for you not to be ahead there . . .

But then, the eighth inning. Andy's still out there. As it turns out, Andy should not still be out there, because Andy gives up three more runs. Oops. Final score, unfortunately, 6-1. That was just a bad game. They lost that one very, very thoroughly.

The Tigers game was delayed for a while in the second inning because of rain - hey, that sounds familiar - so they are currently tied at three with the Padres in the sixth.

Okay. Off to finish typing up baseball zombie DOOM nonsense.

Dude, I was on pins and needles this ENTIRE GAME. I died a little bit when the distinguished Julio/Reed tandem came in.

In more shallow news, Andy Pettitte remains brutally, brutally hot; more so when it's like a BAZILLION degrees outside and he's got sweat sheen all over him. Just an observation.

I'm glad you have been rescued from your MLBTV-deprivation.

Aw, you poor thing. I wasn't, because I knew as soon as they left the bases loaded the first time that we were going to lose. When you are the Astros, you DO NOT LEAVE THE BASES LOADED because YOU ARE THE ASTROS and you will probably not be able to load them again, SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. Oh, wait, except that they totally did it again. The same way they did it before. *facepalm* We may as well have had Pettitte batting in the nine spot instead of a DH for all the good THAT did.

Speaking of whom - my goodness, yes. When Andy pitches, I watch his pitching form VERY CLOSELY. There is nothing he does on the mound that is not incredibly hot. Even when it involves giving up three runs because he was left in one inning too long.

Okay, okay, I bow to your genius.

I'm no genius, just stubborn, but thanks. ;)

Oh, and I see you have a new co-modding gig. Congrats!

Yeah. I think I may be the world's greatest sucker.
