Astros rookie Matt Albers, a Clements High School product, is blogging from spring training for KHOU.com. Albers, 24, is trying to win a spot on the Astros starting rotation. Here's is latest blog entry:

Tuesday, Feb. 27
Today I went to the field, we actually had an intersquad game, first game action that we've had -- 5 1/2 innings so I think 11 guys ended up throwing.

I threw one inning. One walk but no runs, got a fly ball and a ground ball out so went pretty well. Just one inning worth.

Not too much else going on, but it was a pretty good intersquad.

After the workout, we had a luncheon with the spring training season ticket holders out in Florida. We had hot dogs and signed autographs and talked to people and took some pictures so it was pretty neat. Enjoyed that.

Games start Thursday. I do believe I'm throwing the fourth game on Sunday so until then I'll see ya later.
