rocky pitching

The Astros got plenty of offense last night without needing Biggio to get on base via the plunk, so he stayed out of the way and kept himself unbruised while going 2-5 with an rbi and a run scored. Jamey Wright pitches tonight for the Rockies. He plunked Biggio on August 24th and September 9th in 1997 for Colorado, and on July 23, 2002 while pitching for the Brewers.

Pete Harnisch hit Biggio with a pitch on June 21, 1998, Carlos Perez hit him on June 21, 2000 and on June 21, 2003 Biggio got hit by both Ismael Valdez and Erasmo Ramirez.

ESPN's Baseball Tonight had a piece last night discussing Biggio's record run, and Baseball Tonight Extra continues the discussion on espn.com today. Thanks again to Plunk Biggio supporter Mark Simon for the mention. Check out his other work too at metswalkoffs.blogspot.com which is still pretty interesting even if you're not a Mets fan.
