Houston Astros @ Atlanta Braves
Happy Fourth of July everyone. In all likelihood I am already in the mountains of North Carolina with the famdamily. Thankfully this new SBN blogging platform allows us to schedule posts, which means for the weekend everything is already pre-written... sort of makes it hard to talk about last night's game.
Anyway, maybe we can have a better series against the Astros than we did against Philly.

Happy 4th of July
It’s a holiday AND Frenchy finally got demoted. I hope he can get things back together again…

A Happy 4th to EVERYONE including Jeff
Hopefully the lineup will score atleast 6 runs tonight. It seems like it’s been atleast two months since that has happened.

Trying to remember the last time we
scored first ~ ( waited until we did so as not to jinx it) !!! I bet Tex would have sacrificed his body for that run if necessary.

Y'all see that Yankees game today?
Where Damon crashed into the fence, the ball bounced out of his glove and stalled on the top of the fence for like 5 seconds then fell back in play?

The ball seriously just stopped on the top of the fence for a couple of seconds...
if it wouldn’t have been for the wall shaking because Damon smoked it, the ball probably would have stayed on there.

This is coming from the Astros announcers. I think they meant all around short stop, but I could be wrong.

Has anybody seen Boyer throw a change up?

My take on Boyer and Acosta
Live arms…and can attack the strike zone with full complements of pitchs…they can’t consistently throw to a batter’s weakness and make them swing…the miss horribly…snowballing on them

Great game
After nearly giving up after being swept by the Phils, we’re looking good and starting to get most of our guys back. All-Star game is still 8 games away!
