OH. MY. GOD. I CANNOT HANDLE THIS. SERIOUSLY.
The Astros won Game 4. By a score of 2-1. With a man on 3rd and no outs, they somehow got Pujols trying to get home on a grounder by Reggie Sanders. Then, incredibly, Lidge somehow got Mabry to ground into a double play to end the game.
I don’t know how the Astros managed to hang on and win that game. But they did.
My ears are still ringing from all the insanely loud cheering.
The Astros have three chances to get to the World Series and their names are Pettitte, Oswalt, and Clemens. I like their odds.
I was so nervous at the end of the game as I am when ANY of those Cardinal batters are in the box. I’m so excited.
