Unbelievable

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Unbelievable.

That's all you can say when a guy who has no home runs in 507 regular season at bats, hits a home run to beat your team in the World Series. Against your best pitcher.

Unbelievable.

No, I wasn't throwing anything. I didn't even cuss. I even cracked a smile (OK, almost cracked a smile). Podsednik has never hit a ball that far in his life.

Unbelievable.

That game made me wish I wasn't an Astros fan, so I could sit back and enjoy it. Drama, drama, drama. Must be October.

If you look past the home runs for the White Sox, though, you'll see that the Astros gave away the game. Defensive miscues early on gave Chicago two runs. And then Wheeler walks two guys to load the bases for Konerko. You can't walk guys in front of the cleanup hitter in the postseason. Those guys are kinda good.

At least Roy Wonder is on the mound tonight and my boys are back home. They've played with their backs to the wall all year. Time to do it one more time.

Just wish that had been an Astros player...
