    And because you're a bandwaggoner who's probably never even been to New York.

    Here we go again...the umps while bad, did not cost us this game. Hitting into double plays at key times cost us this game.

    Ausmus hit a two run homer they called back.

    Truby was walked to load the bases; it was called a strike.

    Berkman was safe by a mile in the 9th on that double play.

    This series is far from over. The Astros have the best road record and the Braves have the worst home record. If the Astros could go into St louis and win 2 out of 3 they certainly can go into Atlanta with Reynolds and Oswalt and win 2 gamesa as well.

    If we get the Reynolds win we still have a chance. We are 2 legit to quit.

    Cat,

    Ausmus hit was NOT a homer, Berkman WAS out at 1st.

    However, you are right about the Truby call.

    The Astros can not win ANY games if they score 0 runs.

    Pathetic.

    The 'Stros are still in this motha. We got Shane and Oswalt for games 3/4 and then Wade for a game 5. An off day tomorrow so Dotel and Wagner will be rested. This is not the powerhouse Braves teams of the past. We can still beat these bastards but some guys need to start hitting.

    Ausmus' ball hit the yellow line; I watched it when they showed it up close. Berkman was clearly safe on that play, a good step ahead of the throw.

    Cat,

    They showed the mark where Ausmus ball hit, just BELOW the yellow line on the ledge.

    Berkman was out, it was close but still.

    The only thing the umpires did wrong was CONSTANTLY give Glavine the ball 6 " off the plate.

    Hell, I can get people out if I get that pitch.

    It is ok if it goes both ways, but Milicki was not getting the same call.

    The bottom line...you have to score more then ZERO runs to win in the playoffs.

    DaDakota

    That ball did not hit the yellow line and Berkman was out. I guess I would agree about the Truby call, but still, Biggio didn't do anything after him.

    For it to be a homerun, the ball has to <b>clear</b> the fence, not <b>hit</b> it. Ausmus got some serious wood on it, but that ball did not clear the fence, so it was not a homer.

    So apparently I should be very glad that I had to be in class during the game and didn't have to watch this piece of **** game. It sounds like we had 3 GIDP, another unearned run, more stupid decisions, extreme unclutch hitting, and a ridiculous strike zone I would've had nightmares about tonight. Sounds like my stros.
