The Giants made the game close because of the many Astros misplays in the field. The Astros eventually prevailed winning 7-6 although the Giants had the bases drunk in the ninth inning with only one out and Bonds and Matt Williams coming to bat. Relief pitcher Billy Wagner came through for the Astros striking out both Bonds and Williams to preserve the win. The temperature in the Astrodome is a comfortable 68 degrees. The temperature and humidity is unbearable outside unless you live in Houston and are used to it.
Tomorrow is a travel day, just like the players have.
Marc and I expect to reach New Orleans after traveling the 350 miles in the late afternoon. We won't see another game until the 8th in Miami. Like kids do, when returning home, I have a pile of laundry to do, and what better place to do it than at your Mom and Dad's. Talk to you from Miami after 4 days off.
