Astros: Home Run Derby!
If you'd have told me ten days ago that Houston would win seven of their next nine games, against Philadelphia and Chicago no less, I would have called you an idiot.
If you'd have told me at that time that they'd win those seven games with late-inning comebacks, I would have called you a liar.
If you'd have told me then that the anemic Houston offense would homer four times to close out a season sweep of Philadephia -- including two from Jeff Kent -- in the ninth game of that stretch, I would have punched you in the gut for taunting me.
Call me an idiot. Call me a liar. Punch me in the gut. Jeff Kent just homered the Astros past Philadelphia. Mr. Pornstache himself launched his fifteenth and sixteenth blasts of the season to give the Astros a 7-4, come-from-behind win.
If Montreal beats the Cubs today, Houston would trail Chicago by five games, heading into the teams' weekend set. Man oh man. I really shouldn't do this tomyself.
