As soon as Eckstein got on base I told Mrs Johnnymac that, "if Pujols bats, he will hit a home run." She told me not to be so negative. Then:



Right now Willie T just grounded out to first base and the Astros are down to 2 outs. I don't know how this going to end, but this is just unbelievable.

Un-be-liev-able.

UPDATE #1: Now we know. Back to St Louis. I feel like a true Houston sports fan when I say that I have a bad feeling about this... I don't know if that's something to be proud of or ashamed of. Tomorrow morning I want to get out of bed and put my cheerleader cap back on, but right now I just want to throw up. Good god. There's still two games left, but talk about a shift of momentum. Rational thinking says to chill out - irrational emotionalism says, "oh shit."

Lidge has been shaky during the whole series and it finally caught up with him. All along I knew that Pujols was eventually going to tatoo a ball and every time he popped out I felt a huge sigh of relief. We held him off for so long... little did we know he was just saving it for the absolute most nut-kickingly appropriate moment. Dammit.

Earlier today I had four different brokers offer me a chance at tickets and I turned them all down simply because I didn't want to be out all night and I figured I would rather stay home and get to bed as soon as the game was over. But then, when the celebration was starting in the 9th inning, I was feeling a little bit remorseful that I was missing out and, honestly, a little bit silly because another reason that I didn't want to go was that I didn't want to endure a loss, if it in fact came to that. Now I am sitting home and feeling like crap, but I am sure that Texas street is a very very depressing place to be right about now. It sucks to be there after regular season losses in May, for crying out loud, and I think October is probably worse.

And so, I feel a little bit guilty, too. Hell, I don't know how I feel, but it's just plain bad. Ugh. Time for bed.

UPDATE #2: And I guess this won't be a problem.

"if Pujols bats, he will hit a home run."

No wonder we lost.

Very upsetting.

I'm just pissed about tiptoeing (sp?) around Edmonds. Fuck it, if he can beat us, so be it, but several times throughout the series they talked about the question posed to Garner:
"Who's the one player you don't want to beat you? Pujols."

So we play right fucking into that . . . so sickening.

I can't blame Lidge for Eckstein. He's been doing that all season per the stats we kept hearing over & over about his 2 strike hits.

But Edmonds? ARGH!

I'm with you about Lidge being in trouble most of this series. Waaay too many pitches per batter & waaaay to sticky of situations that he luckily got out of.

You can only play with fire so much before you get burned.
