Should Owings Get the Win?
If a pitcher pinch hits, and hits a game winning home run, should he get the win? That's what Micah Owings just did. He came in to hit for Medders, blasted a two-run homer, and gave the Diamondbacks an 8-7 lead. Arizona fought back from Houston leads of 4-0 and 6-2 to put themselves in a position to win the game as they play in the top of the seventh.
It's Owings fifth career home run, and he's slugging .632 on the season.
Correction: Sorry, the home run tied the game. I tuned in the game after it happened and I thought I heard the announers say it put the team ahead. In the words of Emily Latella, never mind.

How long till he starts getting starts at first base or the outfield?
Not to discount what Owings is contributing with his bat...it's pretty awesome...but I'm pretty sure his HR tied the game 7-7. Byrnes' RBI single gave them the lead shortly thereafter.
yeah, he tied it at 7, which still sucks (as an Astros fan).
wish my fantasy league counted his offensive stats. he's rink ankiel with out the juice and babe without the hotdogs
