Down To Our Last Out, Our Last Strike

When I woke up this morning, ESPN told me that the Astros were down to their last strike before rallying for the win off Hoffmann and (of course) this made me wonder when the last time it was that we came back after being down to our last strike.
The answer is a pleasant one: June 28, 2007 when there were two outs and no-one on in the 11th for Biggio when he hit a two-strike infield single. Pence would double and Berkman would be HBP before Lee hit the walkoff slam off Fuentes.

The next night the Astros would be down to their last out (but not their last strike) before Loretta hit the walkoff off Fuentes. Hopefully this bodes well for today's game in San Diego, the walkoffs in bunches thing . . . .

the 3000 hit game too
I am sure you didn't forget.
My first mistake was assuming you knew what I was talking about.

Nah
I remembered it OK, and it actually featured prominently in my first post, the one that got eaten by the new system :-)
v 2.0 was a little rushed . . .
I'll end up liking Tejada. . . . just give me some time

That walk-off for Lee
has figured prominently in early Astros' ads on FSN this year, with a tag line "Don't miss the excitement," or something like that.
