Tonight's game, 9th inning begins with Astros 4, Cards 2. Astros are 82-1 when they have the lead by the 8th.

That was singularly most painful inning of baseball I've ever watched.

Top of the 9th, Cards at bat. 1 out, 2 outs, base hit, walk, outside the park homer. Score going into bottom of the 9th, Astros 4, Cards 5.

'Stros get nothin' at bat. Game ends.

Now it's on the St. Louis.

*GIGANTIC SIGH*

Terrible.

If I'm the astros manager, I intentionaly walk Pujols, set up the force at every base, and get to Sanders, I believe. Lidge struck him out.

Of course, I'm not a MLB manager.

All I know is that my Sox will win it all.

Na Na Na Na Na Na hey hey hey goodbye!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Another thread about (extremely long string of expletives deleted) baseball!

I will sell my soul to whatever god, devil, or being that will destroy baseball for all time. It eats up space on FX, so I miss That 70's Show; it eats up sportscenter; and NOW the general forum. Die baseball, die!

:mp5: :mad:

Oh ... and, uhhh ... to pre-emptively answer the snooty guffaws at the term "World Series", most American networks and true fans actually call it the "Fall Classic".

So ... there. :p

Oh, and the Astros are Houston's team.

Houston already has a professional sports team. They're called the Texans. And they suck.

Yogi Berra said it correctly many, many years ago:

It ain't over til its over".

I remember wearing a Toronto Blue Jays Championship sweatshirt in Mrytle Beach, two days after they won the "Fall Classic" in 1992. :D

It ticked a few people off to say the least.

The waitress in Damon's Ribs stated that she was my waitress for the night, and that she didn't want to hear about it.

A couple of nights later, we were in Dick's Last Resort and a comedien was telling a Canadian joke:

"Why do Canadians like to do it doggy style?"

Answer: "so that they can both watch the hockey game."

That is when I blurted out...."OR the World Series":D

Completely different sport. The Texans are the football team. The Astros are the baseball team. We also have a hockey team, a soccer team, a basketball team (both men's and women's), and a whole host of other sports teams.

Oh man, what the fuck were they thinking? They should've walked Pujols. Ugh.

Well, at least there's a good chance we'll win the next game, with Oswalt pitching. It'd be a nice "fuck you", that's for sure.

True, but a win tonight would have been so sweet being that it was the 45th anniversary of the founding of the ball club. Houston would have been one big ass party for 3 or 4 days!

Ah well ... it will be very sweet to beat them on their home field in game 6.

Yeah... It's still a bitch that Garner didn't issue an intentional walk.

Terrible.

That is actually an intelligant idea. Maybe you should be a manager :p

It's called sarcasm. It's in the dictionary.

True ... but if Lidge would have just stayed focused! Lidge had a 1-2 count on David Eckstein with two outs in the ninth and the Astros leading by two!

With 1 strike away from victory!

Damn you, Yogi Berra! It should have been over. :mad:

Most managers don't like putting the tying run in scoring position, so a walk is not so automatic in that case.

Um, it says so right here...

Last time I checked, I was in the U.S.
