    Page 93 is when they actually react to Burke's homer. Mostly sad, but one guy calls us the luckiest team ever, or something along those lines.

    How is the Yankees game the first thing they talk about before the astros.

    NOPE. They started out with a quick showing the top of the 9th of the yankees game. Then said we will show you more later. Then They went to the Astros Game.

    They're doing some good and long coverage on the Astros/Braves game though. I like it.

    Yeah, they are giving it quite a bit of time. I was relieved to see they didnt totally go into the Yanks game before ours.

    That was about 15 minutes just on the Astros... WOOHOO! They didn't lead off with the Yanks/Angels... just a "we'll get to that later, a better game was played..."

    Ya, that was some pretty good face time on ESPN. Funny how they treated it like Golf and said "alright Im done with the front nine, you take the back..".

    They're coming back later to do a piece on Clemens too.

    and does anyone else hate it when opposing fans blame losses on MMP?
    Their team has just as must of an advantage offensively, because of the ballpark, as we do.

    The benefit of having him 2nd though, is that if Biggio gets on, Tavares can bunt him over -- in the process, Willy might get on base too, for 2 men on base, 0 outs.

    yeah they're just ignorant. center-field probably doesn't take away as many homers as left-field gives away but it's close. ensberg fly out to jones right in front of the hill would probably have been gone in most parks. it's not a pitcher's park but a good pitcher can neutralize minute maid.

    I hope they kill that babe ruth commercial by the St. Louis Series. That thing is just a travesty. It's not even close to funny if you ask me.

    Bill Brown said on FSN that Pettite was sick and went home before the game then came back during the 18th, was making himself available just in case...

    I'm glad someone agrees with me on this -- I absolutely hated the commercial. I didn't even really understand it that well. If this were "The Apprentice", the whole team that came up with that would've been fired.
