NLCS: Astros Defeat Cards 4-2

[Geech]

Why has Eckstein's arm strength got better while in St. Louis? Is this what people think when players go there....no wonder why they win all those gold gloves.

Really? Watching him throw out taveras in the 9th it looked like he was throwing a changeup. Lots of arm motion, not much velocity

 

Cuse was talking about a statement by one of the anouncers.

Oswalt is one of my favorite pitchers in MLB, proven it again last night why he is.

 

He pitched how I want to see the Cubs pitch again (up and in ahead in the count).

0-0 going to the second inning in Houston.

[Fred Hornkohl]

[Fred Hornkohl]

Mike Lamb with a 2 run bomb to left field in the 4th inning. 2-0 Astros.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fifth inning: Cardinals score a run on singles by Molina and Nunez, a sacrifice by Morris and a sac fly by Eckstein. Now 2-1 Astros.

2-2 cards get a sac fly

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cardinals score again on singles by Pujols and Edmonds and a sac fly by Walker. Now 2-2 in the 6th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Astros regain the lead on a double by Lamb and a single by Lane. Now 3-2 Astros in the 6th.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Astros score another run on a throwing error by third baseman Hector Luna, who just came into the game to replace an injured Abraham Nunez. Now 4-2 Astros, still batting in the 6th.

The Astros may finally make a World Series appearance. I may try to see if I can scratch up a ticket if they do.

Thankfully the Astros didn't blow it.. unlike us.

Good move putting Edmonds at #2 in the order, DP in his first AB

You could just hear the unadulterated joy in Buck's voice calling that Astros home run. That was Hawk-esque.
