14th Inning - how 'bout dem 'stros!

Okay!

So, this now comes down to how did I ever let my wife talk me into becoming an Astros fan? It's almost as painful as being a Miss. State fan. I believe this is an attempt to see how many times we can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...

Lessee, its the top of the 14th, 1:05AM, the game is over 5:28 hours old, the game is the longest World Series game in history (elapsed time and innings), the Astros have stranded 12 runners in scoring position, Ensberg and Ausmus have blown chances to win this game, the benches are empty, and I'm still awake. Thank God Ensberg and Ausmus have turned double plays in the 13th and 14th innings to keep them in the game.

I've tried to give up and go to bed twice and now (former Astro) Geoff Blum hits a home run off some no-name, last ditch reliever named Astacio. Then Astacio's control fails him and he looks like he couldn't hit a bear in the butt with a bass fiddle. Boy is it going to be fun trying to stay awake at work tomorrow....
