Bottom of 2nd, 1-0 Astro lead, good game with baserunners and a great tag out at the plate by the Cardinal catcher.

Sorry, Astros. I didn't mean to jinx it.

[Michael Goldsberry]

Aw, crap.

They just knocked one out.

[sinkspur]

You were right. Garner has made this mistake before.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

O M G !!! Not again, please not again ........

[Jaded]

Follow the money.

[sinkspur]

This was a management screw-up. Put this at the feet of Phil Garner for pulling Wheeler.

I posted just before the homerun. I don't know why, but it felt just like the Angels.

this guy who just hit the HR, Steinbrenner will be calling him.

Blown save with the pennant on the line.

Brutal.

[Cyclopean Squid]

Hats off to Pujols

Sorry, the Cards are smart enough to lock up their good players .

Typical Houston sports. We always choke. Not sure how the Rockets finally escaped the clutches of Choke City (an actual nickname for Houston for years before the Rockets won a championship.) Plus we have a manager who is a nice guy, but about as bright as Scott McClellen.

"Blown save with the pennant on the line."

We could page Donnie Moore, but I'm afraid he wouldn't respond...

I called my girlfriend on the phone to tell her to turn on the tv to watch Pujols AB...I said baseball history could be made.

She laughed and said she couldn't care less.

I'm gonna miss that woman! ;^)

6. Donnie Moore's pain: Angels lose to Red Sox in 1986 ALCS
Before the Sox lost the heartbreaker of all heartbreakers to the Mets, they inflicted some serious fan-pain themselves. Leading the best of seven ALCS three games to one, the long-suffering Angels looked World Series-bound for the first time in history. California led 5-4 with two outs until the top of the ninth when Dave Henderson hit a two strike two run shot off Donnie Moore to give the Sox an edge. The Angels would tie in the bottom of the ninth but the 11th inning made Henderson a hero once again as his sac fly sealed the game five win for the sox on their way to the series victor and an AL flag.

I think Tall Texan has left the building.

[Jrabbit]

One stupid strike away! WHY?????

Should've walked the best dang fast ball hitter in the league! DUH

Astros meltdown!
