To summarize the most important

To summarize the most important parts of yesterday — the Astros won behind a barrage of home runs and a gutsy Clemens performance, and the freaking Yankees won on a freaking sac fly in the freaking 12th.
I’ll let you guess which outcome made me happy and which didn’t.
“Over those first four innings, the Braves moved eight runners into scoring position. How six walks, two wild pitches, three hits, one error and one stolen base translated into a grand total of one Atlanta run (and no earned runs) is hard to explain. But there’s no better way to sum it up than this: That was Roger Clemens, official living legend, out there.”
Clemens, despite not having his best stuff, muscled through seven innings and the Astros took a 1-0 series lead over the Braves. I really, really, really hope Carlos Beltran is ok to play today after taking a pitch off his ribcage (ouch!). It makes me sad to root against the Braves, but that’s the way it goes. In August, when the Braves came to Houston and the Astros were a bazillion games out of the wild card lead and everyone thought their season was over, I cheered for the Braves. Because they’ve been my team for so long, and because they had a chance for October, while the Astros were dead dead dead.
But then the Astros pulled their miracle recovery, won the wild card by a game, and here they are. It’s October 7, but they’re still playing. After a finish like the Astros had, I can’t not root for them. They are, after all, my hometown team now.
So that’s yesterday’s news. And if you didn’t see my post last night and are in need of a web domain or hosting space, see below…
