News And Notes From A Crazy, Crazy Game • You know what would have been kind of funny? If Astros manager Phil Garner, just a split second after throwing that chair, realized that Craig Biggio's wife had been standing right behind him. "God-DAMN it ... oh. Uh, sorry, Patty." • Does that home run push Geoff Blum past Shawn Green and Jason Marquis as the most promiment Jewish baseball players? (Remember, David Eckstein and Morgan Ensberg are not Jewish.) • It seems strange that people are getting on Barbara Bush's case for leaving before the game was over. It ended at nearly 1:30 a.m. local time. She's, like, 94 years old, and besides, she has to get home and call her baby boy. He gets nervous when Mum doesn't call. • OK, that's totally not the same Roy Oswalt we saw in the NLCS. Just saying. • If we were being robbed, we might call El Duque to save us. • So this thing is pretty much over, right? Do you think White Sox fans really think that? Are they tiptoeing around like Red Sox fans were last year? Oh, and how many of them are late for work right now? Did anyone even show up?
