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.

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

Go you Astros !!

I wish you guys could have experienced Little Caesar's back in the 60's. It was very good back then.

.... and Herman Franks .... and Frank Lucchesi .......

Why didn't Pierzynski go to first that time ?
