But Astros are in danger of being passed by Cardinals! Astros must win at least one of these Braves games -and it doesn’t look like they’ll win tonight

Cardinals lead early 2-0

I don’t think Astros are coming back tonight.

9-2

Astros get eliminated and turn into a bad team..

drives in Humberto Quintero

9-5

Tejada hits a screaming grouder dwonthird abase line . Third baseman makes a diving catch, gets up and throws out Tejada at first.

Then Berkman strikes out on a bad pitch that goes to the backstop. Berkman reaches first on the strikeout. (He then steals second)

It’ll be interesting to see how many teams drop out of the Top 25. Looks like Oklahoma will be # 1, LSU #2, Texas #3, and Alabama #4 come Monday. Everything else is up for grabs.

11-5

The last 7 innings weren’t bad, but oh those first two innings.

Cardinals are only a half game behind the Astros. I don’t like that.

It will solidify that the fact that Backe does not belong in the rotation next year. Imagine if we were still in contention and Backe gives up all those runs at the beginning of the game (again)
