WOW ASTROS. Crazy game.

Astros leave 45473890534 men on base and win anyway, thanks to stellar pitching and key defense.

Tony La Russa gets ejected for arguing balls and strikes and promptly tries to kill the home ump.

Jim Edmonds is ejected for same, even though he was kinda right, and also tries to kill the ump. I do not know how Cuzzi escaped that game alive.

The ninth inning and throwing the guy out at home!

Morgan with the "But I totally called time! . . . I didn't? Well, I thought I did, and that should totally count! . . . Oh, it doesn't? Okay, then."

Sexiest lightning-fast double play EVAR. Half a second slower and we're in extra innings right now.

Final score: 2-1.

'Stros up 3-1 in the series.

One more win. One more. Come on, Astros.

I would like to close with the following statement from one of the geniuses at FOX sportscasting: "The umpires have been doing a pretty good job this year." Wow, what season has he been watching?

I have never been so much in love with Adam Everett as I am right now.

I am trying to stop repeating myself on that point, but oh yes. I am so proud of this team. From 15-30 to One Win Away. So, so proud. I just misted up thinking about it.

I have yet to see an ALCS game (well, I've got it on now, but I'm not paying attention or anything), and I have not missed the Big Name dumbasses one bit. Shut up, McCarver. Even though I haven't heard you say anything stupid yet. You should always shut up.

Believe it or not, McCarver is about a million times better than Piniella.

But that's not saying much.

About McCarver, not. Says worlds about Piniella, though. Sucking harder than McCarver, that takes dedication and a bizarre sort of anti-talent.

I do not know how Cuzzi escaped that game alive.

Seriously! I am also amazed only two people got ejected. EVERYONE was pissed at him. I even thought Eckstein was gonna get tossed at one point.

Sexiest lightning-fast double play EVAR.

You are not wrong. That was hot.

That's because his strike zone was the size of frigging Alaska. I couldn't believe some of the calls, and I'm not even that good that judging pitches.

You are not wrong. That was hot.

I got all tingly. =D

I loved Morgan's 'i called time out!', and the fact that he sac flied the go ahead run. Two cards getting tossed is good too. Man, one more game. Just one...

I am now sad that I am working during the game tomorrow. Hope I can find it on the radio.

That is so sad. I'll miss the first few innings as well... :( No radio reception in the pool for me.

Astros win Astros win Astros win!!!!!!!!!!!!

The lightening fast game ending DP is on mlb.com so you can watch it over and over and over if you want.

That was probably one of the hottest DPs I saw all year, which is saying something, since the Tigs had some involving both Brandon Inge and Carlos Pena.

The umpiring comment made me giggle so hard I almost choked on water. I mean, honestly now.
