houston take it and give it back

A semi-pitchers' duel between Pineiro and Albers. Go figure

either do walks

pinero about the same more 3 to a 4

houston pitched pujols and struck him out

You're right about Albers, he's been a bit better, at least looked more comfortable out there for a few starts since they were bouncing him between the bullpen, the rotation and Triple-A earlier this year. He's also got a shot to at least work into the seventh of not complete it with his pitch count so far today.

I saw a couple games before this he pitched to the 7th in one and had a couple strong 6 inning games as well, hope astros pull this one out

catch them stealing then strike them out, sweet

[Willie Bee]

Up to 79 tosses now, and they've only let him reach 100 one time this season. Guessing next inning is his last and then we see Qualls and Lidge.

Did you see the catch Edmonds made last night, AC? Think he might have hurt his throwing hand skidding on the track, but another gem to throw into his files, simply amazing how he makes these catches with his back to the ball like that.

I caught it on ESPN very nice

pence on third no outs but could not get him home

bases loaded no outs and balls across the nose again

what's up with this?

astros

[Willie Bee]

Glad it came through for you, AC. A little pucker factor in the top of the 8th when the Birds had a pair on against Qualls, but a solid 9th for Lidge.

aside from many wasted chances by houston but I will gladly take it.

El Caballo probably had the under today, didn't want to ruin that with a clutch hit in the eighth
