The Series
THE ASTROS ARE GOING TO THE SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!!! Now that they have beaten the Cardinals I don't have any issues rooting for them in the World Series. Though I still predict the Sox victorious, I will root for the under dog like usual.
The game was pretty straight forward tonight. I don't get this Cardinal team. They can score runs any time during the regular season only losing to the Stros about 4 times the whole season, and then when the post season starts, the hits stop. I know that injuries had a lot to do with it and some bad calls by umpires, but people like Larry Walker seemed useless tonight. Even Pujols had a rotten game tonight. I credit it somewhat to the Astros pitchers; they were on most of the series games. But even so, the Cardinals pitching staff was one of the best in baseball this year. They slacked a little in the post season, but overall they were strong. The only weakness I saw was the lack of runs. Everyone knows the Astros don't have their big hitters anymore, and knew that they would not score over 5 runs in any of these games. But knowing that wasn't enough.
Well, I do hope that next year's season we see a world series at the new Cardinals Stadium (with tickets in my pocket). But for this year, Go Astros.

I thought the Stros played very solid baseball...no errors...good pitching...routine plays. Instead of power hitting they were getting some good solid base hits, which was very satisfying to watch. Oswald did well pitching, but his team made the plays. The Cardinals were so much different from last year. They seemed lethargic and uncaring like they didn't really want to win, especially towards the end of the game when they commited an error. And I haven't seen that many wild pitches in a game for a long time. I still can't believe that blamed a couple on the catcher when the Cards pitcher was plainly throwing the ball no where near the plate.
Yeah I here that about Mark Mulder. I never really liked him. The Cardinals still had the best record in baseball this year and beat the Astros 10 times out of 14 during the regular season. I do still give some credit to the Astros for their hitting, because that was the best it had been all year. Now they're going to play the team with the best pitching staff in baseball, and a team that can actually score a lot of runs.
The Astros got killed!!!!!!
