OH MY GOD ASTROS.
This game was freaking awesome. I'm so glad I got to see it.
Brandon Backe was incredible. He pitched his first complete game, which also happened to be a shut-out, only giving up four hits. Even though the stupid fucking ESPN announcers did their very best to jinx it by saying "shutout" like four times in five minutes during the eighth and ninth innings. Hah. Meanwhile, Morgan Ensberg and his adorable highlighted Californian hair were running around getting three homeruns, the first one of which was a three-run homer. He got a curtain call after the last one. There was gorgeous defense and lots of hitting and oh my god what a game. Final score: NINE to ZERO. GO ASTROS I LOVE YOU.
