WE ARE BACK ON TRACK!!!
I have spend some time after Friday night's game to catch up all my previous posts. Now I will hopefully be on track and keep the posts up to date.
So, with that out of the way, on with the post!!!
I was at the game tonight to watch the Houston Astros play the Texas Rangers in the first game of the Lone Star Series.
Craig Biggio went two for four with one run in the Astros 7-4 loss to the Rangers. He raised his career total to 2968.
Biggio continued to lead off the Astros batting order.
1st inning: Flies Out
1. Ball
2. He flies out to left fielder Nelson Cruz

WOO! Man, sorry to hear about the pneumonia, glad to see you're better! Awesome job of updating every single game!
Glad to see Biggio finally get back on the stick, 3 game dry spell was painful to watch. However losing to the Rangers is even harder to watch, hopefully they can pull it together for the rest of the weekend and take the series, WITH the help of Biggio going 4-* =)
thanks again for coming back! I've watched Craig Biggio his entire career and I don't think many can argue his love of the game is unsurpassed this day in age...
keep up the good work fellas!
jonathan: Thanks for reading. I too, have watched his career. In fact, many years ago, when I had a sports collectible business, I often could be seen getting autographs after each home game at the Astrodome.
I have, in my possession a Craig Biggio autographed ball from the first night he played at the Dome.
He signed it after the game after coming out of the Dome.
It is one of my favorite autographed balls.
I was at the game last night, and it was painful. However, Biggio getting two hits made up for it.
