To some, my sports allegiances might seem like contradictions.
I love the Dallas Cowboys but absolutely hate the Texas Rangers (my favorite American League team is the Kansas City Royals).
I love the Houston Astros but absolutely hate the Houston Texans (my favorite AFC team is the Denver Broncos).
So, I'm hoping the Astros can overcome a 1-2 series loss to the Rangers earlier this season, and last night, they beat Texas 4-3.
For Houston, Brian Moehler went to 4-3 as he pitched 6.1 innings, giving up five hits and one earned run and five K's in the win. However, Astros closer Jose Valverde got touched up in 1.1 innings, giving up a hit (a two-run home run), two earned runs while striking out three. Valverde notched his 19th save but carries a season ERA of 4.34.
Yikes.
