Astros v. Yankees


I had tickets to tomorrow's contest -- Moose v. Wandito -- but sold them to my friend Neil, because my mother wants to attend the annual LSU alumni crawfish boil in Beaumont (and every year we have attended they've won the national championship, so...)

The fellow on the right, Richard Stonely, was interviewed on the telecast of this evening's game. He grew up in New York as a Yankee fan, and when the Astros and Mets entered the National League in 1962 he also was became a 'Stros fan because he couldn't root for the Mets. And he named a couple of early Colt .45ers like Bobby Shantz and John Bateman, and when he moved to Houston in 1976 became an even bigger fan.

Asked he was feeling conflicted tonight by reporter Bart Enis, Stonely replied without missing a beat: "I'm conflicted every night."

The score is tied 1-1 in the top of the 7th.
