Bottom of the 3rd of the Texas Pujols Massacre...

See what I did there? I replaced "Chainsaw" with "Pujols". Evocative.

Here's Yorvit to lead it off...

Lohse throws ball one, strike one called, ball two low and outside, stroked down the line...FOUL! Strike two.

Molina hands Torrealba his bat and he steps back in after he catches his breath (takes a minute, he though he had a triple). And Lohse gets him on a nasty change up swinging...ONE OUT

Back to the top of the order, here is Kinsler...so far so good for Lohse but will it last the second time through?

Quickly 2-0 on Kinsler...Strike one drops in at the belt.

Strike two in there. Lohse's famous 88mph fast ball.

Inside just off the corner and the count is full. Lohse labors a bit...

Lohse steps off...shakes off one sign...the 3-2 is inside and Kinsler walks...

Andrus up...move to first to keep Kinsler close. Stolen bases by Kinsler are a theme...

Another move to first and Albert doesn't even bother applying the tag...loafer...

Andrus shows bunt pulls back and takes strike one...

Lohse keeps missing inside says Shannon. He needs to get the inside of the plate...1-1

Another move to first.

Andrus sends Craig after a tough out in right...TWO OUT

Hamilton up...he rips the first one down the line foul, strike one

Inside and low for ball one...a funky pitch that doesn't quite drop in there.

Inside and MOLINA PICK OFF THROW TO FIRST! SAFE!?!?!?

That was close, just got in there. JUST. I love that play, I hope Yadi and Berkman/Craig work on it.

Inside pitch again, ball 3 on Hamilton.

Hamilton RIPS ANOTHER ONE DEEP AND FOUL. Full count.

Here's the pitch...swung on foul...do it again...

HEEEEEEEEEEERE's the pitch...LINED TO ALBERT OUT NUMBER THREEEEEEEEEEE!

Let the onslaught begin...
