Cards - Astros Game 7 Thread

[Red State Rebel]

Oh crap - Biggio starts with a home run, 1-0 Houston.

COME ON CARDS!!!

[GOPisEvil]

1. Oh lovely...nice start...

Come on Suppan, get a grip!

[realFedUp]

2. Omygod....I thought at first this was thread 7....

and wondered what y'all had talked about
before the game started.

Go Cards! I see red.

[Red State Rebel]

3. I've been a nervous wreck about this game all day....

It's terrible to get so obsessed with a playoff series

[Red State Rebel]

4. What the hell kind of commercial was that???

Boxing chickens???

[No2W2004]

5. Yeah, I wasn't even sure I was gonna watch

but, why not...This is the closest the Astros have ever gotten to the WS.

[realFedUp]

6. can someone move the TV closer please....

:-)

[No2W2004]

7. top of the2nd

Clements gets a 123 inning

[No2W2004]

8. Wow....great catch by Edmonds.!...

(cap tip)

[Red State Rebel]

9. Edmonds is nothing short of amazing....

Like the announcer said - he's a walking highlight reel.

[Forkboy]

16. He reminds me a lot of my old Sox fav Fred Lynn

One great catch after another.

[realFedUp]

10. Who do Boston fans want to win in this game?

Who is supposed to be better, worse?

[Forkboy]

19. I'd rooting for Houston myself

But that's just one Sox fan.I dont think any of us really care who we beat..er,play :)

[realFedUp]

11. Rolan cute but those high flying ones get caught.

[No2W2004]

12. 123....on to the top of the third

,,

[Reciprocity]

13. 3 up, 3 down, go “Stros!

[realFedUp]

14. Bush ad or sycophant suck up by Fox?

[realFedUp]

15. Hoowahh...Sanders catches

[Ilsa]

17. I'm betting Beltran steals. n/t

[realFedUp]

21. You were right!

[realFedUp]

18. Suppan's pitching kinda sloppy right now...

is this the best guy?

[Ilsa]

20. That was too easy. Go 'Stros.

Yeahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[No2W2004]

22. 2-0 ASTROS!

messed up throw to 3rd allows Beltran to score!

[DS1]

23. Who?

:evilgrin:

[Reciprocity]

24. Hot damn we got ourselves a ballgame!! n/t

[Ilsa]

25. I got a bad feeling about this.

Reminds me of the astros of years ago. Picking along, one run at a time via an occasional HR without ever putting forth the real deal of baseball: hits, sac flies, etc. This second run was without a base hit.

[MADem]

26. RABID SOX FAN, I'm also tuning in

...just to see who we will take on. If it ends up being the ASTROS, we will have to take them out decisively, because you know that is gonna end up being seen as a Kerry/Boston, Bush/Houston thing, even though weewee's team was the RANGERS. I hope if it does end up HOU vs BOS, that we take them out in four. Can't have the last game happening the night before the elections!

[Ilsa]

30. How about this:

Houston wins. Kerry wins.

[MADem]

35. I can't be down with that!

Hafta be greedy, I am rooting for the Sox and Kerry all the way...but I am a partisan in both arenas!

[Reciprocity]

32. Can you believe this???

My traitor husband actually told me that he would be rooting for the Sox's if that happens. That’s how much he hates Bush. I told him that he needs to sort out his priorities.

[MADem]

36. He sounds like a wise man!!

He understands the importance of symbolism in sports!

Of course, that is easy for me to say, since I am not a Houston fan. We Boston backers have that little history with Roger...and he could have been nicer to us, especially when we stuck with him through the rough patches.

[realFedUp]

37. New rule: Both Boston and Kerry can win.....

God loves joyful excess every once
in awhile.

[Red State Rebel]

40. Local DJ today said he would like to see a Boston poll

asking if you had to choose, which would you rather have a Kerry win or a BoSox win?

I would love to see the results of that....

[realFedUp]

27. Wumack's on second

wincing a bit. He's fast.

[sabbat hunter]

28. how great would it be

if houston and roger clemens win the NLCS so the rocket can beat his former team in the WS. now that would be the ULTIMATE humilation for the red sox.

[realFedUp]

29. Sccccoooorrrrreeeeeee!

[SideshowScott]

31. This has been a GREAT series..Just as good as the Yanks vs Sox

too bad that the yanks and sox took the spotlight away from this one its been a nail biting classic..Dont get me wrong the Yanks and Sox games was watching history unfold but wow this one has been great for anyone who loves baseball

[Red State Rebel]

39. It has been amazing...

whoever makes it thru these playoffs to the Series deserves a lot of credit. I hope it's the Cards :)

[No2W2004]

33. Wow....perfect Suicide Squeeze!

don't see THAT very often any more!

2-1 Astros

[SideshowScott]

38. That was a great play..This series has been great

[nookiemonster]

34. Yeah!

Womack is shaking his injury off! Stolen base!! Woohoo!

[ofrfxsk]

41. Kick for us Cards fans

[Reciprocity]

42. The pressure is unbearable. Wonder how I’ll do on Nov 2?

[DianeG5385]

43. Go St. Louis!!

I don't want no stinkin' match up w/Houston (ie Bush)vs. the BoSox (Kerry). As I type, WE ARE TIED!!! Let us lead!!! WE LEAD!!!!!!

[OSX]

[DianeG5385]

46. Holy Toledo!

Ohio. Maybe we can make sure Kerry wins Ohio too!

[Seeking Serenity]

49. I'm watching the game on Fox and listening to it on KMOX

all the way down here in Little Rock.

I loved Mike Shannon's call of the Rolen home run.

"Swing! Get up, baby, get up! Home run!"

Choice!

Six more outs. Let's do it!

[Seeking Serenity]

50. OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!

That shot went right off Tavarez's broken hand!

That's gotta hurt.

Heckuva play by Renteria to get the out. Sweet backhanded catch on the line drive, too.

[Red State Rebel]

51. We're gonna do it!! We're gonna do it!!!!

Go Cards!!!!!!

[Seeking Serenity]

53. C'mon Izzy!

Don't blow it like last night (although it wasn't until his second inning in relief).

[Red State Rebel]

55. Just 3 more outs, thats all we need! Please.....

[ofrfxsk]

52. AWESOME! 5-2

:)

[Zuni]

54. Going into Inning 9, it looks like St. Louis will be in the WS

[Red State Rebel]

56. Oh My God!!!! I LOVE MY CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Seeking Serenity]

57. The Cardinals win the pennant!

The Cardinals win the pennant!
The Cardinals win the pennant!
