Baseball (MLB, WBC, College, etc.)

Cardinals manage to stay alive :victory: :woot:

I wonder how quickly they were able to take the champagne away from the Astros locker room. :hehe:

LOL.

Minute Maid Park (stupid name, BTW) got awfully, awfully quiet after the home run. :hehe:

One of the announcers said it was like all of the air was sucked out of the stadium... :hehe: :hehe:

Do you think that Lidge (Astros pitcher) drank himself into a stupor lastnight? I only watched the 9th inning. Poor guy I felt so sorry for him. His nerves got the best of him. :shakehead:

Well, it used to be called "Fat Cats screw their employees" er-sorry I mean "Enron Field"

Yeah, the moment really seemed to get to him: he was overthrowing his pitches, just like the Angels reliever Rodriguez did the day before.

The Cards need to start some kind of "Rally Brewsky" on the video wall....no wait, that's been done before...sort of. :hehe:

Instead of a "Rally Monkey" how about a "Spank the Monkey"?? :hehe: :hehe:

Houston and St. Louis go at it again tonight.

Go Cardinals!!!

I wonder what Houston will feel like if the Cards win the next two games...

My brother said that if Houston lost the next two games, that Houston reliever Lidge will be this century's Donnie Moore... Remember him? Too long ago? :sweat:

I actually had to look it up. No wonder I didn't recognize the name. He was an Angel, who happened to give up the HR to Henderson. That he hit the HR I knew, I didn't know who gave it up to him.

Do you know of the sad ending to it all?

Donnie Moore never lived down that homer: his career slid and one day, he killed himself.

Awful. :puppydog:

Yup, I read the ESPN article on him. To be one out away from the World Series and to see the dream leave the stadium on the opposing team's bat.... :shakehead:

Yup, pretty devastating.

Go White Sox!!! :woot: If they don't change their rotation, Clemens will probably start game 1, I wonder if he'll throw any broken bats!! :beaten:

Maybe.

After he gets hammered by the ChiSox. :hehe:

Wow, the Cardinals couldn't muster any offensive against Oswalt. :beaten:

Just like in the other game.

I guess the Series starts on Saturday, ne?
