Well, that went over about as well . . .
as the proverbial turd in a punchbowl. 'Stros are cruising behind Roy O. and lead the Giants 4-1 through 7. Then, the Giants get a couple of bloop hits and Bonds cranks a homer to tie it up. Then, Dotel comes in for the top of the 9th, promptly hits a batter, the Giants sacrifice him to second, Dotel wild pitches him to third, and a sacrifice fly brings him home. Biggio and Everett -- at the top of the Astros' order and two of the poorer hitters in the starting unit --go out meekly in the bottom of ninth, and Bagwell fans to end it.
The 'Stros have questionable enough hitting to be having poorer hitters such as Biggio and Everett batting at the top of the order.
Andy Pettitte tries for a better result in Game Two of the series. Stay tuned.

I think Jimy Williams was channeling Grady Little last night. D'oh!

A couple of more command decisions such as these and Manager Williams will be joining Mr. Little on the golf course.
