the farewell tour of benches

Craig Biggio got another night off last night in the Astros 6-3 loss to the Dodgers, but he'll probably be back in the starting lineup tonight against Dodgers' starter Derek Lowe. Hopefully the Dodgers will do the right thing and give tickets for tonight's game to all the fans in LA who went to one of the last three games hoping to see Craig Biggio on his final trip to LA.

Derek Lowe has never plunked Biggio, and has only hit 1 batter this year in 152 innings of work.

Seth Etherton plunked Biggio on August 16, 2003, but he's the only pitcher who has plunked Biggio on this date.
