I say this ever so cautiously, but…I think the Astros may finally be turning things around, and showing signs of life. Debbie, Jason and I hit the ballpark tonight for Nolan Ryan figurine night and interleague play (the Blue Jays were in town) getting there early to watch batting practice (I got a bunch of good photos!). The game was going well, Clemens pitching beautifully for seven innings and only giving up one run to lower his 1.67 ERA a bit more. Brad Lidge came in for the top of the 9th to close out the 3-1 win…or so we thought. He blew the save. Tied 3-3. The stadium went quiet. Yet again, there would be no win for the Rocket, and the Astros would again fall as they have so many times this season already.
But then, Morgan Ensberg saved the day! Three-run homer! Bottom of the 9th! Walk off, baby! Astros win, 6-3!

I was there on Saturday. It was a good, but FAST game- in and out in exactly 2 hours. But at least we won. Jason Lane hit a homer and there were a couple of really good plays. Morgan Ensberg is my favorite Astro, so his 3 run homer yesterday was AWESOME!

I should have said I was there SUNDAY!

I was there on both Saturday and Sunday. Had my Dad’s club seats on Saturday night and took my daughter, Waverly. Then I took her again on Sunday for one of their Astros Buddies games with her cousins, my sister and brother-in-law. Good games! I’m sure Drayton is glad they’re winning! Cha-ching!
