Not only was Caratini's attempt to score stupid because he was out by a mile, but his dive-attempt was too. 1) He didn't dive in a way that avoided the tag (should've been head-first and outside to dodge it) 2) He slid straight into the catcher (catcher-on-catcher violence) 3) He got himself injured Caratini did his Pete Rose impression -- "I'm betting against my team".
Brother Stephen of the fine year of 1966, let us pray harder than we have ever prayed for a good harvest tonight.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (Astros are mediocre) Courage to change the things I can (find something else to do) and the wisdom to know the difference (If they win tonight we do this again)
If it goes 18 innings, Espadumb will pitch Seth, Dubin, and Scott for ONE out each, then Hader for 5 innings.
