Way to go Astros!

In between my cough medicine/jamba juice administerings, I managed to catch this guy

in his first ever major league at bat. And what an at bat it was--- 5th inning, 2 outs, first pitch--Home Run!!! To see his incredible debut go here.

He is a true hometown boy and his 2nd family at the Round Rock Express is so freaking excited that he finally got the call! Atta boy Mark!

Oh, and they got a win out of it too. With their win over Pittsburgh on Monday night, the Astros improved to 33-16 since the All-Star break, the best record in baseball during that span. They have won 11 of their past 12 games. How bout them 'stros!

Hmmm.... maybe baseball really is healing :)
