Nothing like an unscheduled double-header to wake everybody up! Is it too late for the Astros to activate Nolan Ryan? 😃 ---

If the Astros lose this game, it will take 6 games to decide a 5 game series. Wow! ---

This reminds me of a Dukes game I saw as a kid. The game ran so long that the Dukes went through all their pitchers and one of the infielders (I want to say the first baseman) wound up pitching. ---

The radio guys are now saying that it’s the longest game in postseason history in terms of innings. Holy cats, we’re going to the bottom of the 18th. This is something else! I’m glad I don’t have a really strong attachment to either team - I have a couple friends who are hard core Astros fans and they’re both probably nervous wrecks right now. ---

Nice Strike out, Can he now win it with the bat. Good recovery from a stupid error. ---

This is probably going to be the highlight of the postseason. I mean, the Angels-Yankees game Friday night was pretty good, but damn! ---

Hoooooly… What the heck was that? The Astros are going to be _fried_ from this game, man. ---
