last off day

Craig Biggio got the day off again yesterday and the rest of the Astros had plenty of offense to take the 5-1 win in St. Louis. Today is the last off day of the Astros season and the team will no doubt be planning a suitable welcome for the Phillies on Friday. With the Astros sitting around instead of playing baseball, the closest thing you'll find in today's baseball action that's related to Craig Biggio getting hit by a pitch is former Biggio plunker Aaron Cook starting for Colorado. He is the only scheduled starter for today who has plunked Biggio.

Did you know that Danny Haren is the only pitcher to plunk Biggio on September 14th, having done so at Minute Maid Park in 2003?
