Just two more wins
Astros squeaked out another victory, 4-3, which means they now lead 2-1 in the series. Just two more wins and we'll be going to the World Series for the first time ever!
Today's game was a little nail-biting near the end. We had a two run lead at the bottom of the ninth, but the Cardinals managed to score one run and had a pretty good chance of scoring another to tie up the game. Luckily, though, that didn't happen. Whew!
We did cause another one of their players to be injured, though. (Sanders, the guy that got hurt in the last game, was replaced by So Taguchi for today's game, but he's hoping to be back tomorrow.) Lane was on first when Ausmus (I think) got a base hit by hitting into the far right field. Instead of just going to second, however, Lane decided to try for third and ended up knocking the Cardinals' third baseman Nunez right off his feet while sliding into the plate. It wasn't quite as ugly as what happened to Sanders, but he did have to be taken out of the game. I think they said he has a bruised thigh or something like that. We'll see if he'll play tomorrow.
Heh, wouldn't it be amusing if everybody on the Cardinals' starting line-up managed to get injured during the course of the series? Not that I'm hoping that anybody gets seriously hurt, but with the way things are going for them, you have to wonder...
I also got the first disc of RahXephon today from Netflix. I have to admit, after I got to see a dubbed episode while were at my uncle's house during Hurricane Rita, I wasn't too enthused about it, but it's actually really good so far. I can't wait for the next disc to come in. My favorite character so far is Haruka, I think. She's pretty cool, and I got a kick out of the fact that when she and Ayato first meet, she calls herself a "champion of justice." Her seiyuu is Hisakawa Aya, who also is Sailor Mercury's seiyuu, so that was a nice little in-joke. I also love the opening song "Hemisphere". I've been humming it all day long.
