Eighteen innings.

Eighteen exhausting, tricky, gut-wrenching, heart-stopping, record-setting innings.

Five home runs.

Two grand slams.

Five hundred and fifty-three pitches.

A homer that almost wasn't.

A homer that almost was.

Fourteen pitchers.

Three innings of relief from the finest starter in baseball.

Thirteen runs.

Two teams, locked in a game that turned from a near-laugher to an epic battle, one that drained both bullpens dry, one that almost went one way or another a thousand times, one that kept the adrenalin humming for those who played and those who watched.

One winner.

My winner.

My boys.

My Astros.

I had a feeling. All series, I had a feeling that in spite of the Farns's stellar season, he'd have a crucial meltdown. I felt bad about it, 'cos I love the Farns, but the feeling was so strong it was like it had already happened.

I mean, the specific scenario I envisioned involved Morgan and a walkoff homer, but, you know, that worked too. ♥

Yeah I kept waiting for Morgan to do something big, because he ALWAYS does something big, and he just...didn't. But yeah, that worked too. ;)

Morgan wanted to share the glory. He was all, "Seven RBIs for the series is plenty, guys, it's your turn. I know you can do it!"

That's definitely how he was. Mo is all about sharing the glory and such. :)

Man, I love him. Wouldn't know him if I banged into him on the street, but he is my Houston boyfriend and I love him.
