Pregame: ‘I’m mildly concerned Joel Hanrahan isn’t able to pitch this afternoon. When’s the last time we blew someone out and actually had it stick?’
1st inning: ‘GARRET JONES THREE RUN HOMER MAYBE WE WON’T NEED HANRAHAN AT ALL TODAY YESSSSSSSSSSS!’
2nd inning: ‘And now the good James McDonald is here. McDonald, Watson, Wood, we can get this done without Veras. Please tell me we can get this done without Veras.’
4th inning: ‘Crap. The good JMac never showed up. He’s not getting past five or six today. Long day in the bullpen, can’t get any hits off of this kid on the mound for the Astros. DANGER ZONE.’
7th inning: ‘Tony Watson is kind of awesome. Kind of really awesome.’
8th inning: ‘WOOOOOOOOOOD! Crap. He’s due up second next inning, isn’t he? Veras is coming in, isn’t he? Eff.’
9th inning, part 1: ‘NOOOOOO BAD VERAS! NOOOOOOOOOO!’
9th inning, part 2: ‘Ffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu(dge)’
9th inning, part 3: ‘Aaaaaaand there waaaas nooooooooooooooooo doubt about it!’
Post script: Seriously, how slow is Carlos Lee? He still hasn’t made it to first base.
Huge, huge play of the game: Jose Tabata’s quick recovery after muffing what could’ve been a Carlos Lee flyout at the fence. He grabbed the ball, threw a strike to Ronny Cedeno, Cedeno lasered a throw home, Dusty Brown blocked the plate perfectly and tagged Hunter Pence out at the plate. That’s one run right there.
Two games over. Three games back. Bring on the Tribe.
