They Live!

The Astros are playing a whole lot better. They are on a winning streak if you can call 3 out 4 games a streak. The only problem is that they are winning kind of ugly. They can't seem to win more than 2 in a row. The other thing is that the games are taking so long! I went to bed without watching the rest of the game last night against Arizona because it started late (Pacific Standard Time). I woke up to find out that the Astros finally won it 8-7 but of course poor Oswalt didn't get the win. Lidge almost blew it. I feel so bad for the guy. The fans in Houston have turned on him which is terrible. I think that he will never recover his dominant pitching as long as he stays in Houston. He needs a new city with new fans that are happy to have him. The way Houston fans scorn him, they don't deserve Lidge. He will pitch great again someday (probably as soon as next season) and then they will be very sorry if they do run him off.

Anyway, the game is taking forever AGAIN tonight. It is 9-3 in the top of the 8th as I write this. Rocket pitched tonight. He is so hard on himself. I think the announcers were right that he is a perfectionist. My gosh, the Astros are winning but it isn't good enough for Roger Clemens. He gets mad at every little basehit the opposition gets. I am glad he is so competitive but I bet his blood pressure is out the roof. Well, I hope the 'Stros can hold on to the lead. Our bullpen is up. I'll let you know how it turns out.

oh one more thing, Luke Scott is tearing the MLB up!!! This kid is on FIRE.
