SAN DIEGO – You bet it was “Break Glass in Case of Emergency” time. Facing elimination for a second day in a row but still standing, Houston Astros cool-cat manager Dusty Baker invoked Mighty Mouse and blues greats Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf before Game 5.
Good thing for Dusty, he was able to finish the day talking about his own maestro, Carlos Correa.
Which could only mean one thing: Following one of the most riveting games of this postseason, after Correa absolutely slaughtered a 96 mph fastball from Rays closer Nick Anderson to walk it off 4-3 for Houston, it is Tampa Bay and the nation’s Astros-haters who were left singing the blues.
