A picture up close and personal with David Eckstein tonight at Minute Maid Park...
Eckstein made his return to the starting lineup by leading off with a home run to the Crawford boxes in left field. It was the first of four home runs in the game. Eckstein had a great night in an exciting game, but the Astros came back to win it in the bottom of the ninth on Craig Biggio’s walk-off single. Even though I’m a Cardinals fan, I had to applaud a great game and a great performance by a class act like Biggio. It was his night (I’m sure I’ll be hearing the chant – “Bee – Gee – Oh” – in my sleep tonight!).
Thirteen guys from church made the trip to Houston today, and it has been perfect. Good weather, no traffic problems, a great hotel, first class guys, and an exciting game. What more can you ask for?
