Game Analysis:
It really seems to me like there are a lot of players wearing a Houston Astros uniform that are ready for the off-season. These guys don’t want to be there. It really makes me wonder why I keep going to the games. (Probably because I still like watching baseball.) There was bad pitching (no new surprise there), lack of situational hitting (no new surprise there), and just an overall apathy about what was happening.
I have even noticed that Hunter Pence, the one who always seemed excited to be out there, blah, blah, blah, doesn’t even have that little jaunty step anymore. You know it’s got to be bad when he doesn’t seem to okay.
Bench Tidbits:
So, tonight I am going to the Improv to see Josh Wolf. Should be a fun show. I watch him on Chelsea Lately and laugh and laugh. Plus, they are recording the show so it should be great material or the dvd will be a total bust.
Monday night I hosted some friends for a Dancing With the Stars party. That was fun. I made jambalaya. It turned out great. I had none left, which was bad since I ended up having only a salad for lunch on Tuesday.
I’m still trying to score some tickets for Saturday’s Texas Tech v. UH game. I might have two, but no definite confirmation on it yet. Robertson Stadium should be a rocking place Saturday. Seems everyone at UH is excited for the team. I was rather hoping Tech would beat UT on Saturday so they’d be on a high and unprepared for UH. Now, I’m pretty sure that isn’t going to happen. Hopefully Coach Sumlin will have the team ready to Go! Fight! Win! Saturday.
A friend from NYC, no, not Alkie, will be in town this weekend. For some reason we are going to the Astros game on Friday. It will be my last game to see in Minute Maid Park this year. Makes me rather sad.
