So, Pete Maki's onnly experience on a MLB field, is walking on one?  I would have thought at least some minor league appearances.

ChiSux down 6-0 in the 2nd... Nice

I remember before I met Mrs Chief, I was dating a tennis player in college. I thought we might have a future but it turns out love meant nothing to her.

This is our pitching guru.... ouch

Houston catcher steals bases. Our catchers are lucky to get from 2nd to third on a single to the outfield.

They got us right where they want us. Bases loaded and no outs.

[Danchat]

Bases loaded, no outs... challenge accepted!

Boy, did we need Garlick back or what?

He-y , when Leon scored from third a few games back, I had deja-vu of La Tortuga.

[RpR]

At least Miranda did not strike out again.

[h2oface]

some would call that middle middle pitch that Urshela struck out on a mistake.........

but not to us.

[h2oface]

we can't even get a break on a WP that would score a run.

[AussieG]

BOO-YAA

[h2oface]

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT!!!!!  

BREAK THE CHAIN.

[USAFChief]

I don't believe...what I just saw!!

[Danchat]

Attaboy Celestino! The feast part of the feast/famine offense is here today.

[AussieG]

OK boys, save some for the rest of the series

[h2oface]

Now we can use Duran when we need relief.  

[h2oface]

Wood says "Really.... just leave me in?"

[RpR]

Astro pitchers are not that much better, and saw plenty of pitches from the Astros go down the middle of the plate while Twins batters stood and watched it.

They need  psychologist not a hitting coach.

Can Pagan be trusted?

[UpstateNewYorker]

Celestino and Sanchez just combined to knock in five runs in consecutive ABs?  Come on.

Save Pagan for the 9th.

[RpR]

With this lead Pagan would probably come in and throw a perfect inning.

[h2oface]

Ryan at 62 pitches and throwing a shutout.... better pull him after the 4th.

[RpR]

This is the same Giants team that swept a series from the Dodgers, Twins are a chinese-fire-drill.

[h2oface]

ZACK!

Astros pitchers are much better than the Twins

[RpR]

Amazing how quiet it is here when there is a lack of hated players to trash.

Yet very recently Astros lost two games to the White Sox.
