PrintThanks to SneezyBeltran for the open thread tonight. /lazy -HB
Chance Ruffin had an easy 1-2-3 first inning and threw about 10 pitches. He's lookin' good and so are the bats.
Horns are up 2-0 in the top of the 2nd as Kevin Keyes just dropped a 2-run bomb to score Preston Clark, who had doubled and obviously himself.
Connor Rowe also just got a single. Let's blow it wide open Horns. HOOK EM!

Many thx to both of you....
Downloading Silverlight, something tells me it is not going to work, but will follow the tracker….
If you have trouble with one browser
switch to another. I can’t get it to work on Firefox, but Chrome and IE work for me. Others use Firefox, no prob.

This is becoming a game of chicken between Augie and the BC coach. Who jumps off their closer first before he hits the wall?
This is like the
18 inning game between the braves and the astros 4 years ago. We pinch ran for berkman and had no weapons and the game was offensive futility in extras
Definitely starting to shake the BC guy.
He’s had 3 balls a few times, and we made good contact once.
