Houston opted for Pettitte instead of Chris Sampson - a logical move when your back is against the wall.

-- MWE

Interesting choice by Cox to bunt with Giles, down 2-0 with one out and runners on the corners.

-- MWE

Looks like Good Andy through 6.

Congratulations to Craig Biggio on tying Rogers Hornsby with 2,930 hits. Not so cool getting picked off right after, though.

Garner's pushing the envelope, sending Pettitte out for the seventh.

Skip & Joe are reporting that either Sampson or Hirsh will start tomorrow.

-- MWE

Looks like maybe he should have pushed the envelope a little more.

6. Mike Emeigh Posted: September 30, 2006 at 09:26 PM (#2192936)

Pettitte had thrown only 79 pitches, but he was also throwing on three days rest.

-- MWE

Great baserunning by Ausmus.

-- MWE

All right, then -- looks like one more day of meaningful baseball.

Wow.

Wonder what Lidge is thinking.

10. Mike Emeigh Posted: September 30, 2006 at 10:05 PM (#2192956)

Wonder who's starting for Houston tomorrow.

-- MWE

Wonder who's starting for Houston tomorrow.

I imagine it's Johnny Wholestaff with Billy Everypitcher coming on in relief at the first sign of trouble
