Braves-Astros

Is anyone else watching this? The Astros took a 2-run lead in the top of the 12th, Matt Diaz just hit a 2-run shot off Brad Lidge to tie it again.

Wow- I left to play volleyball at 9 and it was 9-5. What happened?

Oh well, got a bucket of suicide wings and extra innings- life is OK.

Mike Lamb hit a grand slam to tie it up late. I turned it on at the start of the 10th. The Braves are having a tough night, Renteria sprained an ankle, Francouer got hit on the hand, Andruw has been wincing when he swings.

Those Astros and their late-inning grand slams! Thanks for the update.

Is Chipper playing short now? Crazy Cox. I like that guy.

[splitterpfj]

Yes, Chipper bumped over to SS, Willie Harris is in at 3B.

Jason Jennings?

The Braves got Garnered, again. Wasn't Lamb pinch hitting too?

i watched the end of this game... i love watching the games when managing really comes into play like that. that is also why i love nl baseball sooo much, in games like that the manager is sometimes forced to play players outside of their normal positions which just gets me all excited for some reason. i think that was harris' first game at 3rd ever, and the first time chipper played short in a long long time.
