2-1 now as Marwin HRs to RF. Going to bottom of 4th. Astros blew a chance in top of 1st with two hits, a BB and no runs.

Thank God I have plenty of beer.

True, still sucks though.  I was a train driver for more than 20 years and spent a lot of weekends and holidays away from home.  I don't miss that part of the job one bit.

4 - 1 A's is your final score.

On a positive note, the pitching and defence was not terrible.

Yeah, you definitely can relate to that. Same fatigue, same nutty schedules, same being gone from home. Not as many passengers complain on trains, though.

Thankfully, I got to see my dog and my Mom for a spell this weekend before flying out.

Best wishes to Aunt Meta.  That made me feel better than the game did.
