Holy cow! This is easily the best baseball postseason I can remember. Both league series forced to 7 games. Red Sox overcome the Yankees. The Astros going farther than they’ve ever been. Speaking of which, Miceli’s name is mud here in Houston. When I saw him warming up in the pen I was tempted to just turn off the TV. Shoulda known it was hopeless at that point! Why, why, why? Oh well, only one man can answer that question. And he did on astros.com:
Q. Can you talk about the decision to bring in Miceli?
PHIL GARNER: He’s pitched for me in the eighth inning for quite some time. He’s done a pretty good job of doing it. Got to get the guy back on the horse when he falls off it.
OK, obviously every fan feels like they can call it better, but c’mon! Let him find his horse next season! Sheesh. No sooner had the commentator said, “Now Miceli has a chance to redeem himself” did Edmonds smack that ball with “hit me” written all over it. Astros fans slept fitfully last night!
I suppose I should hop down off my soapbox. All things said and done, if the World Series is as good as the league championship games were, we’re in for a wild ride!!
