Hmm...do I watch Bush lying or Backe pitching??

A bit of a debate for Astros fans: Bagwell or Bush? Kent or Kerry? Who will you be watching tonight?

Houston, we have a problem….

Game One of the National League Championship Series between the Houston Astros and the St. Louis Cardinals is on at 7pm tonight, and the final Presidential debate is on at 8pm. What to do? Thankfully, we’ve got Picture-in-Picture on the 51” Jumbotron in the living room, so we can watch the swings and misses from both venues. I just have to remember which of our 12 remotes runs the television and how to work the silly thing. I’m not an overly technical sort (I was, after all, a History major), but that’s why we have a teenager around the house. Lord only knows what we’ll do next year to solve our technical issues when Eric is away at college.

As badly as I want to watch the Astros-Cardinals game, I also am committed to watching the debate. Call me silly, but I think this is perhaps the single most important television event in our lifetime. Since the Astros and Cardinals will be playing at least three more games, and since Game One is, after all, just a game, I’m planning on watching the debate. I just hope the Astros can put the game out of reach by 8pm.

Before y’all write off the Astros, let’s keep in mind that the Astros were the only National League team to win their season series with the Cardinals this season. Houston went 10-8 again St. Louis. I only hope John Kerry will experience similar success.

Just by the early poll results, it looks as if I may be in the minority around here.
