Box Score
- “When you left, I lost a part of me, It’s still so hard to believe, Come back baby please, We belong together, Who else am I gonna lean on, When times get rough, Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone, Till the sun comes up, Who’s gonna take your place, Baby nobody else, We belong together.” (We Belong Together by Mariah Carey)
The Astros pitching staff is asking the offense who they are going to lean on since they left because they belong together. The Astros have only score 4 runs in their last three games. Not a good way to start a road trip, with an offensive drought.
- “Well I guess I’m trying to be nonchalant about it, And I’m going to extremes to prove I’m fine without you, But in reality I’m slowing losing my mind, Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I’m dying inside, Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly, ‘Cause I don’t want to reveal the fact that I’m suffering, So I wear my disguise ‘til I go home at night, And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry.” (Breakdown by Mariah Carey)
The lack of offense by the Astros in the last three games is going to cause some fans to have a breakdown and maybe cry a little.
- “I gotta shake you off, Cause the loving ain’t the same, And you keep on playing games, Like you know I’m here to stay, I gotta shake you off.” (Shake You Off by Mariah Carey)
The offense just needs to shake off the funk in which they are mired.
- “There’s a hero, If you look inside your heart, You don’t have to be afraid, Of what you are, There’s an answer If you reach into your soul, And the sorrow that you know, Will melt away. And then a hero comes along, With the strength to carry on, And you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive, So when you feel like hope is gone, Look inside you and be strong, And you finally see the truth, That a hero lies in you.” (Hero by Mariah Carey)
Which Astro is going to be a hero?
- “Man it’s for real, for real, A 100% for real, Hotter then cable TV, Like something out of your dreams, It’s for real, for real a million % the deal, So I’ll just keep it to me, and adventually you’ll see I’m for real, for real.” (4real4real by Mariah Carey)
The bullpen did not give up any runs in three innings of work tonight, one of the few bright spots of the night.
- “Even though I try, I can’t let go, ‘Cause something in your eyes captured my soul, And every night I see you in my dreams, You’re all I love, I can’t let go.” (Can’t Let Go by Mariah Carey)
No matter how much the Astros may make some cry or sing, you gotta love ’em. Their our team and there is no other I love.
