The Astros lost this game by a combined effort of lack of situational offense and some bad defense. Brian Moehler did an okay job pitching. Nothing new for this season really.
Astros Highlights:
Michael Bourn went 3 for 4 on the night. Got stranded twice.
Geoff Blum went 2 for 4 on the night.
Bench Tidbits:
I have to admit this game is not causing me much thought beyond the fact that there are more important things in life. Yes, baseball can be a great escape, a way to relax and a number of other things; but when it all comes down at the end of the day does not matter that much for most of us.
I have a former friend going through a divorce and learning of all the things she did during her marriage is making me ill. I’ll come out and say that cheating on your spouse is wrong. I don’t think anyone can convince me differently. It only makes things worse when you have to deal with the marriage after the fact.
I have no happy thoughts in my mind right now, especially not after talking to the soon-to-be-ex-husband.
I sincerely hope all of you married or in relationships respect the vows you have made. I am not naive enough to think everything can be overcome but do believe you owe it to yourself, spouse and family to be honest and respectful.
So, hopefully the Astros win today and I reconcile the fact that some people are just not good people.
