Colorado Rockies @ Houston Astros
No 22-inning game tonight, please. Anyway, we should see Kazuo Matsui make his 2008 debut for the Astros. He's finally put his injury problem behind him. And we have some tired guys taking the field tonight. What does this all add up to? A Rockies win!
Go Rockies!

Interesting lineup...
I don’t envy Hurdle’s position tonight. I imagine that there are alot of heavy eyelids in the dugout.
I am happy to see Barmes get his 3rd consecutive start at 2B tonight.
Could we assume that Barmes has wedged his way into the starter role, or is this more of a rest issue?

If by chance
anyone saw a neat box that had the lineups in the above post for a moment, I did have it up there. Unfortunately, it’s having a problem at the moment and only eight batters appear for each side. If it corrects itself soon, I’ll have it back up there.
Anyway, if we get to 500 comments tonight we’ll have a new thread.

Lineups were
Pods (LF), Willy T (CF), Spilly (RF), Atkins, Tulo, Baker (1B), Barmes, Iannetta. The box left out Morales and for the Stros, they were missing a second baseman.

Sheesh...
I didn’t even stay up last night to watch the game and I still spent nearly two hours asleep this afternoon.

Well, the lineup widget
seems to have a problem tonight, so enjoy the stats widget for the pitchers.

All right,
so I borrowed the code from our Astros site, so the lineups are above now.

I'm a bit of a dork...
But I can’t look at M. Bourn without thinking Matthew Bourne, the choreographer…he does all the twists on the old ballets and stuff, really incredible. His name just makes me constantly think about that, though. Very distracting. :)

You know what would be even cooler
if it updated as an in game box score.
I’m dreaming I know that would be more complected then it’s worth.

Here's to waking up at 11AM!
I’m still kind of tired and in shock about watching that game yesterday/today. All 650 pitches. Devotion, people, devotion.

if i'd stayed up...
I would have gotten about four and a half hours of sleep last night. I admire everyone who stayed up…pretty incredible. I’m pretty happy I didn’t, however…functioning has been hard enough this week with sleep, without sleep I might have completely shut down today. :)

I just can't catch a break today.
Game ended at 3:21 am.
I went straight to bed, then got woken up at 4:50 by an earthquake.
What a weird day.

I'm rooting for two Astros tonight:
Mark Loretta (Northwestern Wildcat) and Kaz Matsui (former Rocky). I hope they have great nights and their team gets killed.
