Should this have happened? This was after the Astros victory Friday night. Keep in mind that they had a noon game on Saturday...
---------------
Glued to the tube
As most of their teammates headed to the team's hotel late Friday, Jeff Bagwell, Wade Miller, Brad Ausmus, Tim Redding and Doug Brocail remained glued to the TV inside the visitors' clubhouse at Busch Stadium.
They didn't leave until about 2 Saturday morning after the Dodgers had defeated the Giants in San Francisco, guaranteeing the Astros a spot in the playoffs.
"That was pretty awesome," Miller said. "Baggy wanted to get dressed and go home, but I wouldn't let him. I was the last one in my game shirt and shorts (worn during the 2-1 victory over St. Louis). I didn't get dressed until about the eighth inning (of the Giants game).
"In that last inning, a couple of guys -- Brad, Baggy and Brocail -- had to go in the bathroom because they didn't want to watch it."
Bagwell and Ausmus had a different take on the situation.
"Yeah, we had to go to the bathroom," Bagwell said, "but it wasn't about fear. <b>It was about beer</b>. We just had to go to the bathroom."
-----------------------
Shouldn't Bagwell, Ausmus and Redding all been back in bed at the Hotel or at least not drinking beer? It doesn't reflect well, especially for Bagwell and his two costly errors and one costly K.
