Uh, yeah, I was at the viewing party in downtown with my friend tonight.

Rocket crash landing wasn't as big a bummer (yet) as all the batters trying to seemingly hit grand slams with only 2 runners on to drive home. You could just see surfer boy Ensberg's head looking towards left field while he was swinging, when all that was needed was a base knock to get the tying run home.

Hmmm, loads of certified kooks in downtown though. Not that I forgot about them since I moved out to the "country", but different than seeing Free(k)port mosquitoes at work all the time. Wilma does not need my permission to hang a left at the BP Thunder Horse platform out in the middle of the gulf and clean out H-town before hurricane season is over.

I saw the end of the game. It wasn't pretty in the 8th and 9th innings. The Sox closer pitcher was throwing strikes at 100mph, one after the other. What are you gonna do? Houston had go ahead runners on base and the DH went down swinging :-(

im glade they lost =). I am a Braves fan, and houston beat them out. I dont really like either team in the series this year. Part of me hopes houston wins it because im a texans fan, but part wants them to loose because they beat out Atlanta.
