Astros 1, Mariners 4
W:Farquhar (3-1)L:Foltynewicz (0-1)SV:Rodney (44)
recap
I have to admit, this game was hard to watch. I was able to watch until Downs got his first out and the rest I do not remember. Comes to find out the Astros lost in the bottom of the eighth inning. Two walks and a triple, gives the Mariners the lead and they ultimately win the game. At least Michael Foltynewicz tried, but he needs to figure it out. He had a bit of a rough outing when I saw him pitch in Houston. He’s got some stuff and seems to need to locate it better.
Altuve took the night easy going 0-3 (he did have a walk), but Singleton got two walks while Grossman got 3 hits on the night. Go figure.
Well, the Astros won’t win them all, but they’ve won more than the last couple seasons so that is a good thing, right?
On a personal note, I went to Dallas to watch the Cowboys on Sunday. As a Cowboys fan, it was embarrassing that the AT&T Stadium looked more like Candlestick Park (or wherever that other team plays). But, I could have handled that. I could handle my team playing the way it did (after all the defensive wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be). But, I could not handle some 49er fans, who didn’t stand for the National Anthem, offer me his Kaepernick Jersey. He’s lucky I was so pissed I wasn’t really thinking straight. They were worse than Cubs and Rangers fans together. I should have taken the jersey with a polite thank you. There are any number of things I could have done with it. After all, the douche did offer it to me. I also realize that every team has these fans, but those just topped it off. I get it, your team is winning, kudos to them but a big FU to that fan and his buddies.
On another personal note, it seems lately that I have friends passing away from cancer. That truly sucks and puts things like the above into the right prospective. I would like my team to win, but I’ll forget Sunday’s game a lot sooner than I’ll ever forget my friend Gosia. RIP my friend.
