I have to admit that I started tonight in the bathroom and on the radio as I had planned, but Canonico and Nichol called me in the 4th inning and said they were hanging out at a bar and wanted me to join them, so I did. Luckily, I had enough karma built up that it didn't matter.
Aside from the Astros winning, the highlight of the evening was at the end of the game when the drunk guy in the vintage Astros jersey tr to ied to climb up on top of the booth and ended up falling over quite ungracefully onto our table and into the various baskets of discarded wing bones and empty beer glasses. That rainbow jersey was ruined. We tried not to laugh and helped him up but pretty quickly after that his wife (or at least the mother of the kid) grabbed his ear and led him out the door. She was pissed, but at that point I doubt he cared.
GO ASTROS!
ps - Saturday will be a hell of a sports day with Gameday in Austin, then the Horns against the Raiders, and then the ASTROS PLAYING IN THE WORLD SERIES that night. Wow.
I had to put the new Astros hat away (Black w/black logo) & wear the classic one I bought in Houston right when they changed logos. Blue w/orange star. I wore it all day with my shirt I bought in Chicago.
