Baseball Playoffs
About 90% of the non-Angel baseball I watched in the playoffs was the important stuff: roughly 20 innings (14 of which were extra innings) over 4 games where there were 4 lead changes and several ties. A list:
- I watched Game 4 of the ALDS between Houston and Atlanta from the 8th inning on. This was where Houston was down 6-1, and Lance Berkman hit a grand slam in the 8th and Brad Ausmus hit a solo home run in the 9th (with 2 outs) to tie it. The game then continued to the 18th, after Roger Clemens had entered as a pinch hitter, when Chris Burke hit a solo shot to win the game.
- The next non-Angels game I saw anything of was Game 5 of the NLCS, and I came in with St. Louis up in the 9th inning, 2 on, 2 out, Albert Pujols batting and St. Louis down 4-2 in the game and 3-1 in the series. And the next thing I saw was a ball launched so far, it may have left Houston.
- The next thing I saw was Game 2 of the World Series, 7th inning with Houston up 4-2. I watched the bases get juiced (with Dye reaching on a full count "hit by pitch") and two outs. Then I watched Konerko increase his asking price as a free agent, putting his team up 6-4. I also saw the Astros catch up in the 9th inning and Scott Podsednik end it with a solo shot in the bottom of the inning.
- Finally, I watched Game 3 of the World Series from the 5th inning on, where I came in with the score 4-2 Astros and Dye up with 2 on. The Sox scored 3 more that inning to take the lead. Then I saw the Astros tie it up in the 8th and the Sox win it in the 14th.
