Cards win 10-7, but the Astros prove they have plenty of firepower. It came down to middle relief for Houston, as I (and everyone else) figured it would. If they can't get 7 or 8 decent innings out of their starters, they're going to continue to give up 6-run innings.
It was closer than I liked, especially at the end, when Lamb went yard and Biggo got the double. And for the love of Stan Musial, it's pronounced "Bi-jee-o," not "Bee-jee-o," guys. I keep waiting for someone to say Albert "Poo-joles."
Tomorrow sees the untested (in the playoffs, anyway) Pete Munro against the shaky Matt Morris. I predict another high scorer, and more shots of drunken St. Louis girls dancing in the stands, which is the sort of high quality sports journalism I expect in my baseball coverage.
Game 3 will be a good one: Clemens vs. Walker/Pujols/Rolen/Edmonds. I've got my tickets, baby.
And all it cost was my firstborn. Oh well, there'll be other kids, right honey?
please please please please please please please please beat the Yankees in the World Series

I'm so envious of you that for a second I was seriously contemplating mentioning the umpire I promised you I wouldn't mention.... But I'm better than that.
Enjoy the game; I hope the Cards thump Clemens. Mind you, I'm not expecting that....
