Astros 5, D-Backs 8
L: Astros’ Bullpen, W: Putz
It has been just under a month since I’ve recapped a game. I kind-of-not-really missed it. I have to admit, I had not watched a game in almost 3 weeks. Did not see a lot of Astros games on the televisions east of Texas. Things have changed, yet they haven’t.
I can sometimes predict good things for the Astros and I did so once last night. I did make the mistake of saying I thought the Astros would win when I really didn’t feel it. I am in no way psychic, hell this year anyone could predict the outcome of an Astros game. I really thought the guys could win this one. At one point they had a 4-0 lead, but with this team is any lead ever enough?
I am rather excited to go to the ballpark again. I want to see Altuve and Martinez in person. Hopefully there will not be a lefty starting opposing pitcher and I’ll see someone in the outfield besides Michaels.
Myers pitched a good game last night. I was hoping he’d get the win, but those don’t come often with this team. They’re going to go after the Dodgers this weekend. Hope the results are better.
Bench Tidbits:
As some may know I recently went on a road trip to Boston. Lots of fun. Would definitely do it again. One thing people tried to tell us about Texas is that it is a dry heat. Texas is pretty fucking big and there is more than one kind of heat here. Houston and Corpus Christi are hot and humid, San Antonio has some humidity, but not much. Dallas and West Texas probably have the dry heat they were talking about. But to me, hot is hot. I don’t care how much moisture is or isn’t in the air. It is fucking hot and we need some rain.
Happy Friday Everyone!!
