Houston's trouncing the Braves 9-3 in the 8th...

Looks like it's gonna be Cards - Astros for the NL pennant.

After Caminiti died, I had a feeling that somehow Houston was going to win the Divisional playoff.

Since the Dodgers are out, I had to pull out my tapes of Ken Burns' Baseball for viewing...

I tell ya, Mays and Koufax: The best of the best. :D :bow:

That ain't the curse, Greggy... I'm waiting for somethig really bizarre, like Bill Buckner in '86... THAT redefined bizarre... :sweat:

The curse (in regards to the Yankees) is they can't seem to get past them...

Having said that...it's now 8-7 Yankees in the top of the 8th, 2 outs, man on 3rd.

In comes Rivera...

Yow, I missed the rally....! :shocked:

I was watching the Lakers... Do you follow them, BTW, or some other out of state team?? :(


Wonder what Rivera's state of mind is, considering his tragedy... :(


Oh well, at least the Bosox are making a game of it. :)

Yeah...I follow the Lakers. Not a big NBA fan though (I watch mostly during the post-season). Over the last few years...the ONLY team I follow religiously throughout the year is my Cowboys. I watch a few Yankees games throughout the year...but mostly just follow them through box scores (actually I get text messages sent to my cell phone with final scores - after every game).

Great...! Nice to know that you root for at least one L.A. pro team... Aside from the Bruins... :hehe:

Tough, tough game against Cal this weekend, BTW... :sweat:

Now 10-7, man on 3rd, 2 outs in the bottom of the 8th. :applaud:

Nice to have a little cushion. :good:

There's ONLY one pro LA team I DON'T root for (the Dodgers)!!

See, now that's more like the Bosox curse: tease the fans by getting close, then blow the comeback and/or the momentum... :sweat:

Unbelievable. :shakehead:

Yeah...but an 8 run cushion (it was 8-0 at one point) will afford you the ability to give up some runs. We cut it close...but we were 8-0 with 8 outs left. Tough to get 8 runs before 8 outs no matter who you are!!!

Talk about making it close...the Sox got two men on in the top of the ninth with one out....

...then Rivera pitched them into a DOUBLE PLAY to end it!!!

Yanks up in the ALCS 1-0!!

Props. Especially to Rivera for being able to stay focused.

Game 2 tomorrow or Thursday?
