Coming home from East Bernard- Rosebud-Lott playoff game in Smithville

Were listning to Astros-Dodgers on XM radio

Vin Scully had the first three innings- He really knows how to capture the ambience of the game.

He knows so many tidbits and you can visualiz the game when he's doing the call

I need to listen to a Dodgers game on XM sometime. I have always liked Scully, but I was under the impression that he did TV only.

Vin Scully is the best, plain & simple. Calls the game & paints a visual picture over the radio. Now mainly just does home games at advanced age.

Bob Uecker is one funny dude w/ lots of one-liners. I love his jokes about his playing days!

Actually got to listen to the game on my return flight from Atlanta last night. Had XM radio available, thought it was pretty cool

And it could be worse if we hadn't run ourselves out of the 2nd inning a while ago too!

5-0 though, not complaining.

Berkman still yet to be retired tonight...

Astros 3-4-5 top 2 in league in all major categories...& overall line-up is hitting close to .300 w/ RISP on year so far.

That simple.

Plus get good pitching & play solid defense. Gotta do those things to win, & lately they have. Keep it up.

Good pitching, solid defense, & timely hitting wins games, period. Throw the other stats out the window.
