Default Astros Late Inning Comebacks
Two games in a row that they came back in the late innings to win.
Last night was great with two in the bottom of the ninth to win. I
cannot remember for the life of me the last time the Astros won a game
in the ninth inning. Long overdue. Great peformances by Biggio and
Palmiero.

It's the first time this season the Astros have had a walk-off HIT.
They've had a walk-off walk, but not a hit.

All those games Houston lost in May, June, and July count just as much
as these last few games.

Admit you were pissed off that Garner started Biggio again and
used Palmeiro (who's been pretty solid lately).

And they had the walk off FC with the weird ground out by Huff.

I was more pissed off that Garner let Scott hit against a LHP in the
eighth. I'm puzzled why we don't have Pence and McEwing up here from
the minors. Scott can't hit a curve thrown by a LHP.

Are either on the 40-man roster?

Ground outs aren't so weird; "walk-off FCs" are. Last couple wins have
been a little more conventional, and now this last week will be
interesting. Tony LaRussa is looking kinda pale. :-)

They also had a walk-off groundout, believe it or not.
