Title: Adios Mr. Ausmus, 9/28/08
Post by: OregonStrosFan on September 28, 2008, 01:45:27 pm
Looks like Brad is trying to leave in style.  2 run no doubter into left makes it 2-0 Good Guys!

I'm sure BG just screamed her head off at the game.

That too'd be a no-doubter...

I thought Coop said on the radio pregame that he did not anticipate alot of substitutions because "we are only a half game ahead of the Cardinals for third place in the Central."

Maysonet for Tejada, Saccomanno for Berkman

Abercrombie in to pinch run and play left for Wigginton.  Stole a base and went to 3B on the throwing error and promptly scored on an RBI single by Wandy.  End 5: ATL 1, Good Guys 3

Maybe not the greatest player but a great Astro has just wrapped it up.

Yep, and with a nice send off from the crowd. His two daughters threw out the first pitch, and a couple of curtain calls after the HR and his exit from the game.

Thanks for the memories, Brad. You were a tough SOB. Brownie mentioned that he stayed remarkably healthy basically his entire career. Unheard of for a catcher. Hats off.

Amen.  A true Astro from day one.  Here's hoping he's in the Astros dugout again in a few years.  I'd be awful jealous if he were managing elsewhere.

What a way to end the season.  Super catch by Castillo.

It was an exciting bittersweet season. And now, into the void. I don't want to go.

You can say bye bye to the steM today too. No playoffs for you!

So you have Shaenfreude, too, huh?  Yeah, fuck those steM bastards, particularly the ones in the stands.  No New York's in the postseason.  I guess we can anticipate ESPN's banners in Bristol to be at half-mast.

Fare thee well, Brother Ausmus!
