Every single game the Astros have lost in the Playoffs so far are those where Garner pulled our starting pitcher in the 5th with a lead. Today is no different. Monroe gets pulled in the bottom of the 5th, just like Backe the day before with a 1 run lead. Today it takes Harville only 1 pitch to give up a 2 run homer in relief. At least Yesterday it took Qualls 3 pitches to give up the lead.
These decisions are enough to make you give up the desire to even watch the self destruction.
Thank God its a 7 game series.
