Heartbreak in H-Town

It's still hard to tell who swung harder: Pujols or the momentum.


I'd really like to know who was calling the pitches in the top of the ninth. In what bizarro world do you decide to give Edmonds four unhittables inside, then smear one across the meat of the plate for the best hitter in the series? Mistake of mistakes... It is always infinitely better for us for Edmonds to make contact than for Pujols to do the same.

I bet Lights-out Lidge would give ANYTHING to have that hanging slider back.

Anyway, enough fretting. This is deja vu, but the Roy-O/Mulder matchup is way more in our favor than the Pettitte/Carpenter one ever was. Oswalt was a Red Bird killer last week, and there are no signs that Thursday will be any different.

And just to make sure it doesn't get lost in the shuffle, let's hear it for Bigg. He's still clutch, after all these years.

Let's go Astros, clap clap clapclapclap.
