    The last guy I would expect to come up big. Hopefully this gets him going.

    Sidenote: roommate is an Angels fan. He's pissed. "Castro can su## a d***"

    I'm glad someone else saw that. He knew it was gone.

    A walkoff is the only appropriate time to do a batflip and admire your home run. Pujols did it yesterday on a flyball to the Crawford Boxes when he was losing by 5? runs.

    I was thoroughly disappointed by Chris Carter's level of enthusiasm in the celebration.

    Nobody. If anybody tells me they felt comfortable with Castro batting with 2 outs, youre lying.

    Big time for Castro. I hope this gets his confidence at the plate up and his bat stays hot! Big game. This is a fun team to pull for.

    To hit a walk off home run, of course.

    29-7 now in the last 36 games.

    Pretty damn good... (and they've had to be considering they haven't won a 3 or 4 game road series since APRIL!)

    Dave Cameron was talking on a Grantland podcast today like the Angels had already won the division and the Astros were gonna be the 1st WC.

    Sry Dave, looks like we got other plans.

    Great win and what a time to sweep you competition. Got to give these guys a ton of confidence. Can't wait to get Gomez and Springer in this lineup. Exciting times for the Astros.

    When I saw Castro walk up, I was already giving him no hope. I thought he was going to pop-up, strike out.

    He proved me wrong tonight.

    It's great to have this kind of excitement this year from the Astros!!!

    I'll be at the game tomorrow night!!!
