Opening Day was everything it should be. Roy Oswalt pitched 8 innings and threw ~90 pitches — brilliant. The Astros won 1-0 — brilliant. Lidge closed it out — brilliant. And once or twice, with the fans waving the 2005 NLCS Champions towels they gave away and yelling loudly, it actually felt like a postseason game instead of Opening Day. If you can’t have a moment of the postseason in the first game back after going to the World Series, it just ain’t baseball! Brilliant.
My wife would be so jealous…
And I am too.
Glad you got to be there.
