During the seventh inning of Wednesday night's game against the Rockies, Astros catcher Humberto Quintero attempted to pick off Rockies second baseman Ian Stewart after Stewart took a large lead lead off first base. Q made the throw, and Lance Berkman appeared to tag Stewart before he could touch the bag. Umpire Tim Timmons, however, called Stewart safe.

Bad month for umpires, eh?
