Baseball - Atlanta VS Houston- HOUSTON WINS

[shoes99]

I'm watching ESPN Atlanta at Houston. They are going into the bottem of the 17th, and Roger Clemens is pitching in relief and Joey Devine is pitching for Atlanta. So who wants this win? HOUSTON WINS, ROGER GETS THE WIN IN RELIEF....WOW

I bet the place went crazy. I was watching when Ausmus hit the homer to tie the game.

Times like this, I'm glad that my favorite team didn't make the playoffs. I can watch the games and simply enjoy the game. That was a lot of fun to watch.

Congrats, Houston! Now can you beat the Cards??????

We went CRAZY at my house!!! I can't take much more of this! Talk about an emotional rollercoaster! This game was more stressful than game 6 in '86 against the Mets. How about that Astros pitching staff?!? WOW!!! Rocket was awesome! Berkman was awesome, Lidge, Ausmus, Wheeler...all awesome! You could argue this is the biggest win in Astros history. I've been an Astros fan for 25 years. This is one sweet win!

Go Astros!!!

OMG!! I screamed sooooo loud when Berkman hit the Grand Slam!!! I think my neighbors might have thought someone was killing me!!!

Wow! That was a great game. Made all the sweeter by knowing that Carlos Beltran is watching the playoffs from his couch.

Carlos Beltran: $16 Million a year (.261 BA)
Willie Taveras: $325,000 a year (.291 BA)
Advancing to the NLCS without Beltran: Priceless

GO ASTROS!!!!

Did everyone see Nolan sitting in the audience?

Now if they can only keep both their pitching and their hitting going at the same time.

Nolan Ryan is a "special advisor" with the team. He also owns the Astros AA team & maybe the AAA team. Is that right?

 

[Planogirl]

I didn't know that he was an advisor with the Astros. I just get a kick out of seeing him no matter what he's up to.

I think that he's involved with a AA club of theirs.

When ESPN showed a close-up of Nolan Ryan in the stands, the announcers commented about him wearing credentials around his neck, like NO ONE knows who Nolan Ryan is. I laughed.

My dh was at the game!! I called and asked him if I needed to bring his pajama's up there, it seemed like it was going to go on forever, lol.


Go 'Stros!!!!!

Well....well...well....What an interesting combo for ME.....As much I as am loving Texas...gotta say.....



GO CARDINALS!!!!!

 

[luvmydogs]

Congratulations Houston!

I'm a die-hard Yankees fan, but have been keeping a close eye on the Astros ever since my man Andy Pettite left us! I'd sure love to see an Astros/Yankees series--Andy'd get a big standing O when he returned to The Bronx.

Enjoy!

I can't believe I missed the game to go furniture shopping all day

Congradulation Astros!
