Adios Mr. Ausmus, 9/28/08
« 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.

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!
