Live Blogging on Baseball

Decided to do some live blogging while I watch the Houston Astros play against the visiting Washington Nationals in Houston, Texas.

1. The Houston announcers like to banter between pitches. They called Nationals reliever Todd Coffey a look-alike of the late Merlin Olsen, the football Hall-of-Fame defensive lineman from the old Los Angeles Rams' "Fearsome Foursome".
2. The Washington Nationals road jerseys look good when worn with red socks and Nike shirts, however they can also stripe it with navy socks and shirts. When the Expos relocated to Washington to become the Nationals, their road greys had 'Washington' in giant block letters and gold embroidery. Since then, Washington dropped the gold embroidery and the DC secondary logo I liked so much. I just hope they remain consistent with their gameplay, and their fashion sense.
3. Top of the Ninth: Nats down by one, and the Astros lead 7-6 with one retired.
4. Zimmer! ZIMMER!
5. Oh no! It's hooking...hooking...foul o_O
6. Houston announcers concerned over jersey sales in lieu of the trade deadline?
7. I remember when Jayson Werth led off for the Nationals. Then, Jim Riggleman resigned as manager o_O
8. Oh, wacky strike zone! I thought you were still in Toronto (2nd pitch to PHI Werth from HOU Melancon)?
9. Jayson Werth is HUGE!
10. Two outs, one batter hit by a pitch, and one walk to Werth later...Crisis averted, and not a moment too soon.

Houston defeats Washington 7-6 with the Astros shutting the door when they needed to ^_^
