Astros 13 Pirates 1

If I told you before the game today that some combination of Shawn Chacon and Britt Reames was going to pitch the first six innings today, most of you would've probably guessed the Astros would have somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 runs by then. You would've been wrong, but only because you underestimated how bad the two of them suck. The combined to walk 7 and only strikeout 4, pretty much a recipe for disaster when 11 hits are also involved. We didn't do much against Hirsh, though out of the 5 hits, 2 walks and 1 HBP we garnered off of him, we managed to load the bases twice and not score either time. Luckily for us, Nady ripped an RBI single in the fourth to avoid the indignity of being shut-out by a rookie. Not that that would've made things much worse than they've already gotten this year.
