Biggio's 3000th hit

It's fitting that Biggio got thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double on this defining hit. The announcers who mostly suck up to him will say that's because he's always been such a hustle player, a guy willing to take an extra base. But really, it's because he's a great player with a 2700-hit Hall of Fame career trying to stretch it into a 3000-hit one. The Astros got caught being a substandard offense in part because of it.
