You won't see many 12-10 final score folks.

Cardinals 30 Cowboys 24

Never before had an NFL team started a game with a kickoff return for a score, then ended it with a blocked punt in overtime for a touchdown. Infact, it was the first time in NFL history that a blocked punt for a touchdown ended a game in overtime.

Was a little disappointed the 'Stros didn't sign recently-released Jim Edmonds. Not that Edmonds is the player he used to be, but he's had many great games against Houston and I'd have preferred to see the team acquire him to prevent him from lighting up Astros pitching again...

Houston is learning that they can play well against bad teams and pitching. But as evidenced by the St. Louis series, they have yet to show consistency against good pitchers and hitters like Albert Pujols*.

Mixed results for Houston in their first two games against the St. Louis Cardinals.  

In Friday’s game, Houston’s hitters did nothing for the first eight innings before scoring three ninth-inning runs off

The Cardinals seem like they will probably go into the tank, but they always seem to be in the mix for some reason. I would still feel a little bit better if Jim Hendry made a couple more moves
