Over at Play That Funky Baseball, your '77 Astros keep trading games with the Cardinals, like yesterday's doubleheader:
Astros 12
Cardinals 1
Eric I mean Harry I mean Eric Rasmussen bends over for the fearsome Astros, as Joe Niekro throws a game as great as his first one, before he threw the barfy one.
Astros 2
Cardinals 3
Weird, but these teams are 4-4 against each other now, after Ken Forsch comes in with a 2-1 lead in the 8th and Templeton hits his fifth triple of the year to knock in the winners.
Record: 7-8
GB: 2
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
