Astros Lose

I knew the Astros would be the long-shot for the World Series MLB Champion, but I never EVER thought they’d go 0-4, losing two in-a-row at home. Backe pitched an awesome game…just outstanding. Lidge yet again came in and screwed up a good thing, allowing the only score of the night.

At 1 out at the bottom of the 9th, “The Catch” (as I’m sure it will be known for a long time) made by White Sox shortstop Uribe was the moment I think we truly lost the game. Not only did it deflate the team and the fans (mind you, we had the tying run on 2nd), but that was a spectacular, unbelievable defensive play where you simply give props and go, “Wow.” Not even foul balls three rows into the side seats are safe.

The Astros were just not as hungry. Other than a few fist-pumping moments by Backe and a few other ’stros teammates, the game, while an incredible effort by both teams, they just couldn’t get their offense fired up.

Until next April. Please, I hope Clemens stays another year for real.
