I don't know who I am more mad at right now: Pujols, Eckstein, Lidge, or the Fox announcers. I guess Pujols since he did the damage, but it took two. Lidge threw that do-nothing slider and wrapped it up in a bow for Pujols. Not that I like Eckstein very much either. Backe was right when he called Eckstein a pest. The announcers don't make it any easier to watch the game. They are so pro-STL it's sickening. And can Pujols do any evil? From the way these announcers talk about him, you'd think he found the cure for cancer. Give it up they hyperbole already. (They do the same thing to a lesser degree for some of the Astros players, but only when they are in a winning position.)
I can't believe Astros fans everywhere will have to watch game six when it should have been over with strike three tonight. How much more can the fans give?
And how can Biggio/Bagwell and the rest of the team possibly feel? Lidge? Deflated. Defeated. Disappointed. Disbelief. Frustrated. Furious. Stunned. Heartbroken.
Hopefully, the Astros can regroup and turn that heartbreak into elation on Wednesday night and silence their naysayers. Otherwise, I might think Astros fans will suffer for eons in the style of the Red Sox fans.
Go 'Stros Wednesday. You can come back to the couch now Cleo, I'm done screaming.

I went to bed at the end of the 6th inning b/c I have to be up really early RIGHT NOW. What a way to wake up. Sounds like typical Astros fashion. Only one more pitch and it all crumbles. Like you said, they must be crushed. I know I am. They are more than due. Biggio, Bagwell...how long have we been watching them as 'stros? I just hope they can keep it together on the road. You know how that can be. :-( Glad I went to bed when I did. I wouldn't have been able to get to sleep.
When I woke up this morning, the game was immediately on my mind. It has me really down so the players must be feeling this way more than me. But they are professionals and hopefully they can get their momentum back. I just can't believe what happened last night.
USA Today made me want to puke just now. "cardinals (doesn't deserve to be capitalized) need to do this, that, etc." Not the Astros. They just talk about what the cardinals need to do to win, how many teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit after the 4th game to win, blah blah BLAH. I hate the media. Objectivity my ASS.
