Spiezio tagged out on a roller to first, runner held at third. Hard shot by Wilson snagged by the first baseman to end the inning.

The Astros hit 2 home runs (so far) today; one off Ray King and the other off Jason Simontacchi.

Nationals lead, however, 7-5 in the 8th.

My wife can't stand Ray King for some reason. She nicknamed him "Fat Man" King.

We aren't hitting much so far either. BP's projections are looking good.

I know a few people that had personal experiences with him that weren't so pleasant. And a bunch more that just don't like the guy. I didn't really understand why, he was fairly effective during his Cardinals stint, especially 2004.

Anyway, we always just called him Burger King.

In 04 he was good, in 05 when my wife started getting into baseball he pretty much sucked.

I always thought that was the best nickname for him.
