Phillies 2, Astros 5
W: Happ, L: Hamels
Well, I was pretty sure the Astros were going to win this game. I didn’t get the feeling I sometimes get. It was the fact that sitting in the row behind me were 3 nuns. For a good, Catholic girl like me, I knew we had Jesus on our side tonight. They were awesome. They really cheered for the Astros. I enjoyed sitting in front of them much, much more than the group from the last game I was at.
This was a rather quick game. It took about 2 hours and 40 minutes. Happ did a pretty good job getting his outs but he gave up a big one to Pence. Most of the fans, both Phillies and Astros, were happy about it, please note I was not happy about it. For some more details about the game, check out the GameZone.
Tonight was another social gathering for me. I ran into Bench – again, and two other friends. One of them had his 3 month old baby with him. What an adorable little guy he is. As I said a couple weeks ago, going to games and running into friends is one thing I miss alot when the season comes to an end. I’ll still run into friends at other social outings, but there is something awesome to hang out with friends at a baseball game. Just good times.
I heard this on the radio the other day and just felt the need to share it with the two people who might read the recaps I write. It made me think of the Astros. Not sure why.
I did go to a baseball game last Saturday. My godson is playing fall ball. He is not a good catcher and he could work on his hitting, but he made an outstanding play at second base. I wish he had a better night, but I was thrilled to see him play. I do not get the opportunity often. I also had to censure myself. I think the coach calling pitches was favoring his pitchers too much. Of course, I am biased, but in this case I’m right.
As most know, I’m a Cowboys fan. This will probably make sporadic a little upset with me, but I thought it was hilarious.
