Anemic Bats

Game 2 of the new baseball season was not much different from the first for the Houston Astros. Brandon Backe pitched well enough to win if they had scored a few runs, but the two run homer by Scott Hairston off Backe was enough for the Padres to win. The Astros did not score until the sixth inning and then it was on a bases loaded walk. Through two games, no one has driven in a run by hitting the ball!
