Alas! Houston Wins!
Posted by: kdc
Congratulations to Bradley and his ‘Stros. Once again the old baseball adage that “good pitching beats good hitting” was proven true. Houston got great pitching from Oswalt tonight.
Plus, Houston proved to be a team of great character, easily overcoming their worst nightmare on Monday night to win tonight 5-1. (Notice the severe lack of celebration in the Houston dugout until the very last out. :)
It’s been extremely frustrating to watch a team that won 100 games to struggle so mightily in this series – dumb decisions, sloppy play (Edmonds trying to one-hand a bounce without even looking at the ball) & anxious hitting did us in. As I always told my Bible Quizzers, it’s okay if they beat us (no one can win every game), just don’t lose it. In so many ways the Cards lost this as much as the Astros won it – proving that that Astros were the better team.
I wish them the best of luck in the World Series. (I always root for the National League team to win it.)
I’m sure Bradley will have just a few more details to share with you in a very few minutes.
Congratulations again!
P.S. We were just kidding about that clothing wager, right Bradley old buddy old pal?
