To hit into a double play with the game on the line, the series on the line, Astro history on the line and a player on third, well, it is really embarassing. Really weak. Strike out swinging. Hit a pop up. Anything but a double play. It doesn't get much worse. It was the absolute last thing you want to do. Kent must feel sick. I hope the team is able to redeem themselves tomorrow. If not, we have been Oilerized again. I felt like I was in Buffalo.
I'm not gonna go into my feelings on this series and today's game because I'm just way too pissed off at this Astros team. If I were to keep talking I would become even more enraged. There is no reason whatsoever for a game 5. It's so frustrating. The Astros must win game 5. They have to. They can't **** over their fans like this anymore. In defense of Springer, in my mind he got out of the inning he pitched in game 3. The ball bouncing to the ground right behind the pitchers mound was total, unbelievable CRAP! There is no friggin' reason for the roof to be closed! If it starts raining close the damn thing. He pitched 10 out of 11 pitches for strikes, and struck 2 guys out before Jones's homerun. That didn't affect the outcome of the game, and I'd say Springer sucked just today.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the roof had been open, Biggio never would have hit that home run, as he hit a beam in the ceiling with the pitch before (in foul territory) that would have been an out. Can't have it both ways.
