It's the bottom of the 7th. Palmeiro just grounded out, and now BGO is up to bat...YEAH! E-6! Bidge is safe at 1st! Now Burke, and he just missed a foul ball down the line. Dang!

So far the Astros look lame. Ensberg looked awful in his first at-bats. He looked like he didn't even know he was in the box in the 3rd. This is a good at-bat by Burke. Fouling off pitches, looking at balls, making Carpenter's count go higher and higher, while Bidge keeps making him nervous at first.

Jen is watching figure skating on one of the small tv's, and I've got the MNF game on the other small one.

Full count......GROUNDER B/T 1ST AND 2ND! BGO TO 3RD! BURKE IN AT 1ST!

buzzzzzzzzzzz......

Berkman up...1st pitch...BLAST TO CRAWFORD! ASTROS UP 4-2!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about the lame shouting, and never mind about the 'Stros looking dead.

Mo up now, and I'm almost crying. Brett just called: "Happy Astros!" he says. Looking at the replay, it wasn't a great swing, but the ball just carried. Thanks, low-humidity-air-inside-a-closed-roof-stadium. The best part, Tom Brenneman and Steve Lyons didn't say a word for 2 minutes; letting the fans do all the talking. Now Mo lines a shot to Crawford, and gets thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Dang! Lamb pops up, but oh well. WE'RE UP, BABY!

More later...
