Here we go, Biggio at bat, first pitch from Hudson is a strike.

[MarinersFan87]

Biggio leads off with a single. Nice.

[Witlon]

Nice start for the Astros, as Tavares sacs. Nice play.

[MarinersFan87]

Eh, interesting to see Cox start Jordan over Langerhans. Guess they want to load up on the righties for Andy.

[Witlon]

And Jordan tends to hit lefties better, I guess. I'd rather see Hollandsworth playing against Pettitte, but he didn't even make the postseason roster.

[Witlon]

Berkman takes the walk, 1st and 2nd for Ensberg with one down.

[MarinersFan87]

First test for Hudson. Berkman walks. First and second. One out.

Go Stros!

[MarinersFan87]

Ensberg hits the first pitch to center! Biggio scores.

1-0 Stros.

[Witlon]

Nice piece of hitting there by Ensberg, as Lane ends the inning with a DP.

[MarinersFan87]

Nice job Lane.

Bum.

"Plenty of empty seats here in Atlanta. That's become a first round tradition."

LMAO. I swear, everywhere I've lived there have been insane amounts of Braves fans, to the point where I've grown to hate Atlanta, but I guess they're not exactly a hometown favorite.

[Witlon]

Yeah, Atlanta's certainly a football town.

And Chipper ties it up, 1-1.

[MarinersFan87]

Chipper ties it up with a one run jack to right.
