I was at the game last night. Here's my conversation about it with one of my best friends who's also an Astros fan.

tempestroad (3:53:58 PM):ever.
tmb2155 (3:54:18 PM): i'm feeling better today, but i was literally sick to my stomach and almost to tears last night
tempestroad (3:54:24 PM):oh yeah same here
tmb2155 (3:54:30 PM): i've never been so devastated by a sporting event in my life
tempestroad (3:54:37 PM):I didnt say a word the entire ride home, I just came home and went to bed.
tmb2155 (3:54:53 PM): well, roy o's got a chance to make us forget tmw night
tmb2155 (3:54:57 PM): hoping he will
tmb2155 (3:55:01 PM): but still, what a brutal game
tempestroad (3:55:08 PM):one strike away man. And we could see in the rafters the people getting ready to shoot the confetti
tmb2155 (3:55:16 PM): ugh
tempestroad (3:55:23 PM):ok but on a positive note... before all that
tempestroad (3:55:33 PM):was the most amazing sporting event Ive ever been to in my entire life
tmb2155 (3:55:42 PM): yeah, i would imagine so
tempestroad (3:55:44 PM):it was insane, the best baseball/football/basketball game Ive ever witnessed in person
tmb2155 (3:55:45 PM): i was so excited
tempestroad (3:55:47 PM):it was insane
tempestroad (3:55:53 PM):the ENTIRE game the crowd was into it
tmb2155 (3:55:54 PM): i bet so
tempestroad (3:56:04 PM):and when Berkman hit that homerun Ive NEVER heard anything so loud in my life
tempestroad (3:56:09 PM):we couldnt even hear the PA announcer
tmb2155 (3:56:19 PM): they said on fox that MMP was the loudest park in the majors, by far
tempestroad (3:56:44 PM):man after the HR by Berkman the ENTIRE stadium stood and cheered the final 2.5 innings
tempestroad (3:56:46 PM):nobody sat down
tempestroad (3:56:53 PM):Ive never seen anything like that in my life
tmb2155 (3:56:54 PM): wow, that's awesome
tempestroad (3:57:10 PM):even between innnings people were still standing, not a single person sat down after the HR
tempestroad (3:57:20 PM):aggh man. what a game
tempestroad (3:57:25 PM):the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
tmb2155 (3:57:42 PM): yep
tmb2155 (3:57:58 PM): how they come out next game will be indicative of their ability to win this
tmb2155 (3:58:05 PM): if they lose in 6, i really don't think they'll win 7
tmb2155 (3:58:14 PM): so we better come out with our heads on straight
tempestroad (3:58:16 PM):yeah man as long as they win the series
tempestroad (3:58:19 PM):ill be ok
tempestroad (3:58:21 PM):but if we lose this
tempestroad (3:58:29 PM):crap, I may never want to go back to MMP again
tempestroad (3:58:51 PM):I already come to terms that I will never see anything like what I saw last night at MMP again
tmb2155 (3:58:53 PM): i may never want to watch a sporting event again
tmb2155 (3:58:59 PM): at least not for awhile
tempestroad (3:59:06 PM):LOL man were talking about it like somebody died!
tempestroad (3:59:10 PM):but yet thats how it feels!
tmb2155 (3:59:32 PM): it's unbelievable

tempestroad (3:59:41 PM):one pitch away
tempestroad (3:59:43 PM):and I was there.
tempestroad (3:59:54 PM):oh yeah thats what I was thinking, I know how it feels to be a Cubs or Sox fan
tmb2155 (4:00:57 PM): of course, the astros are becoming like the "new red sox"
tmb2155 (4:01:07 PM): so many close calls, and then it's snatched way
