Long ago in West Africa, there was a ruthless warlord named General Mosquito. He was the undisputed leader of his faction until he encountered his arch-nemesis, General Mosquito Spray. Ironically, after a rather bloody battle, the Mosquito vanquished Mosquito Spray.
Every time the Astros and Braves play, I am reminded of this matchup: two heavyweights with unique and, to some, controversial nicknames battling it out for supremacy. Unfortunately, tonight, the Astros played the role of General Mosquito Spray.
In what seems to be a pattern, the Astros again wasted many opportunities at the plate, going 0-6 with RISP.
