Wednesday 10-13 @ 7:00 p.m.
Probable Pitchers:
Roy Oswalt vs Mark Mulder

[Rileydog]

first. my first first.

astros win 6-3

(dammit, i just saw (58 posts later) that I'm over 1000 posts. Can I find out what was my 1000th post?)

[MadMax]

I like our chances tonight.

[AggieRocket]

The Astros will win tonight. I call 5-4 Astros.

[King of 40 Acres]

Astros win tonight 6-4.

[DaDakota]

Astros 7
Cards 2

DD

[msn]

LWWWW.

Astros in 5. Bagwell hits dinger. :D

[JBIIRockets]

Astros must win tonight. time to show some sack.

4-3 astros

[Harrisment]

Before the series started, I really didn't like our chances in Game1 but I thought the game 2 matchup was one that we should win. If Roy is on his game, there is nobody better. As long as he can stay away from the long ball early I like our chances.

[MadMax]

what were mulder's numbers against us this year??

any word on how his shoulder is?

I'm with you my friend... Roy O is head and shoulders above Mulder, and I blame last night's loss on the offense (or lack there of) more then I do Pettitte. Holding the Cardinals to 5 runs isn't a bad outing at all... we just stranded runner after runner.

[rrj_gamz]

After last night, I feel good about tonight...We weren't terrible, just put in a bad spot...O comes thru tonight...

Astros: 3
Fags: 2

[Austin70]

We need to get to thier bullpen sooner, and have Oswalt pitch like the red ass that he is.

[Rule0001]

astros win 6-4

going to be a damn long series trying to win 4 out of the next 5 if we go down 2-0

[mulletman]

astros win 8-6

[kaleidosky]

Stros win 5-3

[Xerobull]

Win. In fact, we sweep the rest of the way.

[Uprising]

We definetly win this one.

One qustion, which I'm sure is asked and answered in the other game thread but it's too depressing to open up, why in the hell was Viz batting instead of Baggy?

[DieHard Rocket]

Gotta have this one...

[Svpernaut]

We definetly win this one.

One qustion, which I'm sure is asked and answered in the other game thread but it's too depressing to open up, why in the hell was Viz batting instead of Baggy?

Because Viz was 5 for 12 against Isringhausen (now 5 of 13), and at this point he is more of a home run threat then Bagwell is.

[TheFreak]

what were mulder's numbers against us this year??

any word on how his shoulder is?

I seem to remember one game where he threw like 10 shutout innings against the Astros.

[swilkins]

Astros win 7-4.

This time, we bring the players on the bases home.

[macalu]

I dreamt it last night....SERIOUSLY!

down by 3 in the 9th. bases loaded. bags up in the hitter's box.
Astros Win! Astros Win! Astros Win!

[toby]

Houston wins.

11-9

[Sonny]

Give me $50 on the good guys - Astros win 4-1.

[Rule0001]

I dreamt it last night....SERIOUSLY!

down by 3 in the 9th. bases loaded. bags up in the hitter's box.
Astros Win! Astros Win! Astros Win!


so we fail to push runs across again until the last inning??

not a good sign :D

[Howyalikemenow]

Burke's starting tonight. Hope he can keep his mojo going.

"I've heard that I'll be starting on Thursday, against Cardinals lefty Mark Mulder. He's tough. He's probably the toughest left-hander I've ever faced. We're going have a tough task at hand. At the same time, we're sending a pretty good guy to the hill [Roy Oswalt] ourselves. Runs are going to be at a premium. It would be nice to scratch out a couple of runs early so Roy can go out with a lead and pitch comfortably. "

Wednesday 10-13 @ 7:00 p.m.
Probable Pitchers:
Roy Oswalt vs Mark Mulder


burke 5
cardinals 2

[Kerfeld]

we need this one!!!

[superden]

clutch burke slowly takes on the roll of beltran...


stros 5
cards-2

burke with another homer. astros sweep from here on out.

[Surfguy]

Too much hype for Oswalt and not enough respect for Mulder translates into another loss for the good guys....NOT! Better f-ing win...OR ELSE!

[Surfguy]

stros 5
cards-2


I'll take a -2 for the cards score. I'm all over that sh*t.

[JunkyardDwg]

My only concern is Oswalt rides the fastball all game. When he has done that in the past, it's cost him. If he mixes his pitches and uses that dangerous curve of his, we'll be in good shape. And if our offense doesn't waste so many scoring opportunites we'll be fine.

[Jet Blast]

Astros win 11-2

[superden]

I'll take a -2 for the cards score. I'm all over that sh*t.

haha whoops.

[Ender120]

We would have won Game 1 if Pettitte's knee hadn't been hurt during batting practice (and especially since he had just gotten over the flu). It took both of those unfortunate events to bring down Pettitte to mediocrity (and yes, five runs against the Cardinal offense is mediocrity; they're capable of 7+ every night).


No way we lose tonight. Oswalt shuts them down, Clemens steps in tomorrow to redeem himself from his last start, Backe rides the adrenaline and comes in to redeem his last start, and Pettitte makes up for yesterday with the clinching game.


I love my Astros.

[TRIQSTER]

please steal one in st. louis astros!! pleasE!!!

[Cire]

Why does Fox use the plastic filled reporter Jennie Zelasko? She annoys the crap out of me.

[Harrisment]

Wow, Fox finally got a new Astros batting helmet.

[Svpernaut]

Wow, Fox finally got a new Astros batting helmet.

Someone complained on SR610 about it and John & Lance mentioned that they'd contact the Astros about it, wonder if that did it.

[RocketJedi]

Wow, Fox finally got a new Astros batting helmet.

I noticed that last night. About time!

[TigerBait]

Let's Go Wizard! Let's Go Astros!

[Nick]

Last night, I was fine... tonight, I'm nervous. I hope that's the key difference.

We'll know early whether or not we've got good Roy or bad Roy tonight... his stuff was amazing against the Braves, and if it wasn't for that flukeish 2nd inning, he probably could have thrown a complete game.

[RocketJedi]

Good, Burke is starting in left. I hope he continues his hot streak. And someone get Backe to talk to the Astros bats.

[Svpernaut]

Let's get it on!

[Svpernaut]

Damn fine at bat by Biggio.

[RocketJedi]

That's a good start. Single by Bidge.

[JunkyardDwg]

Biggio w/ a leadoff single. He was showing a lot more patience at the plate so that is definitely positive. Hopefully our other hitters will follow suit.

Alright here go. A key moment in this game. We put 'em on, now we gotta bring 'em in.

[Svpernaut]

Hell Yeah WILLY!

[TigerBait]

THE SPEED!!!

[Nick]

Wow... the Cardinals actually made a fundamental error... we have to cash in here.

[AggieRocket]

Nice swing Berky :rolleyes:

[Harrisment]

a couple of us are in chat

[Nick]

At least we're showing some patience that we were lacking last night... ahead in the count again.

[adw]

Lovely :mad:

[Uprising]

WOW, we are awesome at hitting double play balls this post season. :o

[Nick]

If anybody wants to flashback to 1997-2001... that was it.

[Rule0001]

why can't we pick up a god damned RUN!?!?!?!?!??!


absolutely MIND BOGGLING how pathetic this offense is this series

[Uprising]

At least we're showing some patience that we were lacking last night... ahead in the count again.

We had some patience in the begining of yesterday's game until that bases loaded DP by Berkman... :(

[bigballerj]

Another golden opportunity down the drain. :mad:

[DaDakota]

That is FRICKEN pathetic....no one hits behind the runners, no one tries to go the other way.

Berkman and Ensberg are NOT DOING THEIR FRICKEN JOBS !!!!!!!!!!


Ugh.

Got to get up on these guys.....to get some confidence.....

Why can't our guys go the opposite way?

DD

[Aceshigh7]

Nice chokejob by Berkman and Ensberg.

[JBIIRockets]

We won't win in STL if we keep killing rallies like this. The Astros batters are really making it tough on themselves.

[RocketManJosh]

Wow ... Berkman and Ensberg with complete and total failure. If those guys continue to do that, the Stros have very little chance at all.

[Hakeem06]

same old sh!t....runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs...next two batters strike out and hit into a double play...unbelievable

[Nick]

Batter to watch tonight... Larry Walker.

He OWNS Oswalt.

[Rule0001]

and you can mark it

if we go down 2-0 , we'll lose the series even if we win 3 at home

because we couldn't win at st.louis

[adw]

Lane :eek:

[adw]

Friggin Edmonds,atleast it wasnt a hr.

[Nick]

Tip your hat to Edmonds.... that was a pretty good piece of hitting on a outside corner fastball, after seeing 3 curveballs in the AB.

[JBIIRockets]

Lane robbed Eckstein there, but look where he hit the ball. Took it where it was pitched.

Edmonds, hit the opposite way.

I'm sure guys like Berkman and Ensberg talk about how great it would be to play in a World Series, but if they are not smart enough to hit the ball where it's pitched, while Cardinal hitters do, they don't deserve to win. They need to wake up.

[Nick]

I pitch around Walker here... I don't care what Sanders has done.

There's a reason TLR has him batting in-front of the 2005 version of Beltran tonight... its because Larry owns Roy this year.

[RocketManJosh]

I pitch around Walker here... I don't care what Sanders has done.

There's a reason TLR has him batting in-front of the 2005 version of Beltran tonight... its because Larry owns Roy this year.

Larry is also hurt ... so much so that he wouldnt have played if the game was on Monday.

I pitch to him with Reggie on deck.

You may be right though.

[Nick]

Larry is also hurt ... so much so that he wouldnt have played if the game was on Monday.

I pitch to him with Reggie on deck.

You may be right though.

He's been hurt all year... he was just one day off the DL when he took Oswalt deep for a 3 run shot back after the ASB.

I just don't like the matchup.

[adw]

Id rather pitch to Larry,then face Sanders with two men on.

Rather have Sanders up to start the next inning.

[Nick]

Well, Roy's going after him... if he walks him its because he missed his pitch, not because he was pitching around him.

[adw]

Get the huge out here Roy...please.

[RocketManJosh]

He's been hurt all year... he was just one day off the DL when he took Oswalt deep for a 3 run shot back after the ASB.

I just don't like the matchup.

Yeah I see what you are saying and it looked like Roy was being careful with him so they might have been thinking along the same lines as you.

[Nick]

Yeah I see what you are saying and it looked like Roy was being careful with him so they might have been thinking along the same lines as you.

No... I actually think they were trying to avoid this situation, but Roy just missed on his pitches to Walker.

I hope Roy knows what he's doing... Reggie can hit the fastball.

[adw]

HUGE OUT!

Way to go Roy.

[RocketManJosh]

Whew!! It's going to be huge if the Astros can get the lead and let Roy relax a little and settle in.

Time to get em on, get em over, and get em in!

[Rule0001]

next opportunity to score if lane fails to get on : 4th inning

[DoitDickau]

my man oswalt is going to be on tonight. this is going to be his national coming out party. 8 in. 0er

[Nick]

Everybody's favorite Astro gets to bat this inning... hope he keeps riding the hot streak.

[DoitDickau]

dont worry burke is coming up

[adw]

Ugh Lane.

come on Burke!

[RocketManJosh]

I'm so sick of Lane striking out looking. Swinging strikeouts suck, but they happen. Watching strike 3 go by time after time is just irritating.

[Nick]

WHO IS THIS GUY!!!!!!!!

[adw]

HELL YEA BURKE!

the f-ing man!

[KingCheetah]

Oh yeah ~ here we go... :cool:

[halfbreed]

CFB!!!!!

[Rule0001]

MY NIGGA down south! CHRIS BURKE!

eat **** la russa

[RocketManJosh]

DAMN Chris! Where was this all season?

[Sishir Chang]

Dayammmm! Burke!

[Nick]

DAMN Chris! Where was this all season?

I don't care... its here now... and will be for many more years after this.

[JBIIRockets]

Burke is on fire.

We have to get this run in.

[KingCheetah]

That was a close play, but we'll take it --> :D

[JBIIRockets]

Everett is a piece of crap. there I said it.

[adw]

Ok time to sit Adam or move Brad up,god!

[Sishir Chang]

:mad: Burke's play was one of those where I was yelling "NO NO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!"

AARRGH!!! Damn you Stros! Score a runn...

[RocketManJosh]

this is unbelievable.

[adw]

Shiiiiiit now its up to Roy,lovely Adam.

[Rule0001]

remind me WHY we have everett again?

for CHRIST sake , it'd be great if everett was benched for the rest of the god damn series

[Nick]

Ok time to sit Adam or move Brad up,god!

I don't understand why we changed that from the end of the season... Brad was batting in the 7th spot for the last 2 weeks, but as soon as the playoffs started, it was back to the original.

[AggieRocket]

everett is a ************ (pick your favorite expletive)

[bigballerj]

Great. Now it's up to Oswalt to help himself out. :mad:

[NewRoxFan]

Why doesn't someone clue the 'stros in to hit to the opposite field? :mad:

[Texas Stoke]

Adam Everett is this years Dan Micili against the Cards. He just kills us.

[RocketManJosh]

well Roy might have to do it all himself

[Nick]

well Roy might have to do it all himself

When you're good... you're good.

WE LEAD!

[RocketManJosh]

Thank you St. Louis!!!!!

[adw]

LOL,I'll take that.

Thanks Cards.

[Sishir Chang]

Thank you Molina!

Figures it takes a Cardinal to get us to score...

[adw]

Roy > Adam

[Nick]

That's 3 mistakes (Willy's bunt, Nunez's non-tag, and the WP)... who is this, the Cubs?!?

Now he walks the pitcher!

[Sishir Chang]

2 Out Rally..

B-G-O! B-G-O! B-G-O!

[bigballerj]

Good eye Oswalt. C'mon Bidge 3 run jack Please! :D

[RocketManJosh]

Let's go Bidge ... We need more than 1 here brotha

[NewRoxFan]

Need Bidge to step up when it counts...

[Rule0001]

heaven forbid we DRIVE in a run instead of the cardinals giving us one

**** **** ****

[NewRoxFan]

Guess not...

[Uprising]

DAMNIT! CAN WE PLEASE GET A FREAKIN HIT WITH MEN IN SCORING POSITION!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :eek: :(

[bigballerj]

At least we have the lead. ;)

[Nick]

Even though we only scored 1 run... I hope that inning took some of the jitters out of the big hitters.

Do you guys realize that Burke is now 4-4 in the playoffs?

Double, HR, HR, Triple.

Even Beltran wasn't that prolific in 4 AB's.

[JunkyardDwg]

heaven forbid we DRIVE in a run instead of the cardinals giving us one

**** **** ****

I'll take 'em any way they give 'em.

[Hakeem06]

why is it impossible for us to keep a rally going ??? seriously, biggio is reverting to his old playoff self the last 3 games....

at least we got burke home...and i'm sooooo glad that garner put him in as starter. when a guy homers in two consecutive at bats, it's time to start him.

[halfbreed]

Even though we only scored 1 run... I hope that inning took some of the jitters out of the big hitters.

Do you guys realize that Burke is now 4-4 in the playoffs?

Double, HR, HR, Triple.

Even Beltran wasn't that prolific in 4 AB's.

He's 4-5 ;)

[walterw]

Adam is mighty struggling. He did exact the same thing yesterday. When we had a runner on the third base and one out, he just could not get the runner home. Very frustrating to watch.

[Texas Stoke]

Get your ass back to the bench Larussa, stop trying to ice Oswalt!

[adw]

lol,he screwed himself over.

[bigballerj]

We caught a break there. That was clearly a foul ball.

Nice K by Oswalt. :D

[adw]

Nice 1-2-3 :D

[JunkyardDwg]

Fate is giving us a helping hand tonight. Gotta take this game.

[Nick]

He's 4-5 ;)

I guess he had an AB in game 1 against Atlanta.

That means he's 4-4 in his LAST 4 AB's... that's still impressive. ;)

[halfbreed]

As long as Roy keeps mowin em down we're in good shape ... but please score here

[Creepy Crawl]

Fate is giving us a helping hand tonight. Gotta take this game.

My thoughts exactly . With Burke hitting the way he is towards the bottom of the line-up , that could really help out this offense .

[halfbreed]

I guess he had an AB in game 1 against Atlanta.

That means he's 4-4 in his LAST 4 AB's... that's still impressive. ;)

No doubt. The only reason I knew is because they said he was 3-4 in the postseason.

[benchmoochie]

On Burke, where did this power come from?

[halfbreed]

On Burke, where did this power come from?

Maybe he trained with Raffy.

[adw]

Yea Willy.

[Nick]

On Burke, where did this power come from?

He's always been a 2B and 3B hitter, with the OCCASIONAL pop in his bat. Frankly, he's a carbon copy of what Biggio was like in his younger days (with perhaps more natural power).

Man... now Willy's gettin good wood on the ball... nice to see that against a soft-tossing lefty who we don't hit well.

[RocketManJosh]

Wow ... The Cardinals are making mistakes i've never seen them make before

[bigballerj]

Nice AB Willy. Better Steal 2nd before Berkman can ground into a DP. :D

[adw]

Damn I thought that was gone :(

[Uprising]

Ugh...that was pretty close.

[Nick]

Berkman JUST missed that one.... more good wood.

[halfbreed]

Lance didn't eat his Wheaties this morning

[Nick]

Mulder is living on the outside corner against Morgan... just go that way man.

[AggieRocket]

Maybe he trained with Raffy.

Hilarious!

[adw]

Damn :(

[Nick]

Molina has a cannon... that should be known by now.

[Uprising]

Ugh...Willy got caught in the cookie jar. :(

[Rule0001]

wow....

[Rule0001]

Molina has a cannon... that should be known by now.

and we haven't been doing a thing against mulder to get runners home

why NOT steal?

molina isn't that good

[NewRoxFan]

Great.... now Ensberg hits to the opposite field.

[Nick]

This may be the most lopsided 1-0 game in the history of baseball... frankly, we shouldn't even have 1.

[Nick]

molina isn't that good

Check out his regular season stats... also, I've watched enough Cards games to tell you that... yes, he is that good.

[halfbreed]

This may be the most lopsided 1-0 game in the history of baseball... frankly, we shouldn't even have 1.

We must not be watching the same game. We've had runners on in every inning. Roy's retired their last 5 hitters.

EDIT: Reread your post and I may have misunderstood. Are you saying it's lopsided in our favor or theirs?

[Nick]

We must not be watching the same game. We've had runners on in every inning. Roy's retired their last 5 hitters.

I know... thus, my point.

It seems like we should be up by many runs... yet its only 1-0 based on a WP when the pitcher was up to bat.

[adw]

Nice play Morgan.

[halfbreed]

I know... thus, my point.

It seems like we should be up by many runs... yet its only 1-0 based on a WP when the pitcher was up to bat.

Gotcha...I was editing my post as you were posting. Misunderstanding.

[thewaterox]

We must not be watching the same game. We've had runners on in every inning. Roy's retired their last 5 hitters.

If the Astros keep putting pressure on Mulder eventually they'll score. I hope? :confused:

[adw]

Nice inning Roy,more please.

[Nick]

NASTY stuff by Roy... we gotta get some runs.

Everybody's favorite Astro is coming up again this inning... hope he stays hot (again).

[Rule0001]

If the Astros keep putting pressure on Mulder eventually they'll score. I hope? :confused:


now that's the funniest line I've read all night :D


and burke to left field, gone next inning

[DaDakota]

why NOT steal?

molina isn't that good

Ah....nice to see others have DaDakota moments....

:)

[DaDakota]

Morgan and Lance are letting the team down right now, they are 3 and 4 hitters they have to hit for us to go anywhere in this postseason.

DD

[arkoe]

Man, I'm GLAD the Cards don't have Sosa. He'd be KILLING Roy tonight. :p

[Rule0001]

Ah....nice to see others have DaDakota moments....

:)

I'd send em again

ain't a dadakota moment lol

[adw]

Dang Burke :p

[halfbreed]

Burke flied out. :mad: When are we going to trade him?

[Nick]

Burke just cost us the game... damn! ;)

[Sishir Chang]

We gotta score some more runs here. 1 run isn't going to hold off against the Cards..

[adw]

Really wishing Burke could play SS right now.

[Nick]

Its innings like these that make me realize just how meaningless those games against the Pirates, Reds, Brewers, and Nationals really were.

Pujols, Walker, Sanders comin up...

[Sishir Chang]

After that inning Mulder really looks like he's settling down. We really needed to capitalize earlier.

[adw]

Lance with D :eek:

[adw]

Wow we played that perfectly,what are we the Cards on D tonight.

[Nick]

Nice to see the shift working... good coaching.

[MR. MEOWGI]

I can't watch when the Cards are batting. I turn off the tv and get my info from here. Keep me posted.

[adw]

Nice job Roy.

[Nick]

I can't watch when the Cards are batting. I turn off the tv and get my info from here. Keep me posted.

Inning over... no runs.

[DaDakota]

Let's get some insurance runs here...play a little add on.....

DD

[bigballerj]

I can't watch when the Cards are batting. I turn off the tv and get my info from here. Keep me posted.

I do that as well. Whatta coincidence.

Update: Oswalt got out of the inning 1-0 Good Guys. :)

[halfbreed]

I can't watch when the Cards are batting. I turn off the tv and get my info from here. Keep me posted.

Keep it up. It's worked so far!! :D

[DaDakota]

Really wishing Burke could play SS right now.

They HAVE to give him a look next spring....Everett should be a defensive replacement...he is just not a major league caliber hitter.

DD

[MR. MEOWGI]

Inning over... no runs.

Thanks. I feel like a wimp though. :D

[JunkyardDwg]

I can't watch when the Cards are batting. I turn off the tv and get my info from here. Keep me posted.

That was kinda like me last year. Every time the Cardinals came to the plate I'd be such a wreck. But this year I'm much more relaxed. Maybe Pettite, Clemens and Oswalt have something to do w/ that ;)

[halfbreed]

Thanks. I feel like a wimp though. :D

We all must do our part

[Rule0001]

They HAVE to give him a look next spring....Everett should be a defensive replacement...he is just not a major league caliber hitter.

DD


can say that about 40 times over lol

[adw]

Yea brad doubles! Tell me again why Adam is batting before him Phil!?

[Nick]

At the least, they HAVE to move Ausmus up in the order over Everett.

The guy just brings it in October...

[JBIIRockets]

I'll say this as well. Ausmus is an offensive weapon at playoff time.

[BMoney]

Babe Ausmus strikes again!

[adw]

Great sac Roy,come on Biggio,get the run home.

[Nick]

Step 1 of the execution is done... now step 2 is getting Brad home.

I'd try a squeeze now.

[Nick]

FUNDAMENTALS!

[halfbreed]

Much needed insurance.

[adw]

Great job Bidge.....2-0 good guys.

[desihooper]

nice execution.... small ball, baby

[BMoney]

That's winning baseball, people. Good job, Craig!

[JunkyardDwg]

Man I wish it was the 8th or 9th..this game is only half over.

[Aceshigh7]

Taveras is doing a great job tonight. He's working the pitch count extremely well and making Mulder throw lots of pitches.

[DaDakota]

An offensive EXPLOSION !!

Way to go Craig...that was huge.

DD

[Nick]

Taveras is doing a great job tonight. He's working the pitch count extremely well and making Mulder throw lots of pitches.

Yea... but a lot of the balls he's fouling off should be DRIVEN somewhere... its not like they're low and away.

But, you take what Willy gives you... and he is making Mulder work... so it is something.

[adw]

1 pitch 1 out,I love those.

[adw]

Ugh Molina doubles.

[Nick]

Bad location... I'm glad that wasn't one of their big-time hitters (which is probably why it was bad location in the first place).

[desihooper]

need a K here... and then do a number on Eckstein.

[adw]

Great K,now get the pest out Roy!

[DaDakota]

TOO MANY DARNED FASTBALLS.....come on Roy...time to mix it up a bit.

[adw]

**** walked the pest,please get Edmonds out,this is huge now.

[desihooper]

crap... two on two out

[Nick]

You could call this a key moment... Roy is playing with fire right now.

If Edmonds hits a HR here, I will retire the term "astro-killer"... cause there will be nobody else that could match him.

[AggieRocket]

As I posted yesterday, I hold my breath every time Edmonds bats.

[desihooper]

bad feeling here... Edmonds just wears out Astros pitching

[Nick]

TOO MANY DARNED FASTBALLS.....come on Roy...time to mix it up a bit.

I've actually not seen enough of it... he's thrown more sliders than I've ever seen him throw.

Plus, if he's missing with the fastball, he's not going to come close with a breaking pitch.

[desihooper]

come on baby... one more strike

[Nick]

That was right there!!!! c'mon UMP!

[liamrock]

We are getting SCREWED by the ump...thats two strikes!!!

[AggieRocket]

That strike zone is ridiculous!!

[adw]

HELL YEA ROY!!!!

[desihooper]

yessir!!!

[Nick]

3-2 SLIDER!!!!

SIT DOWN JIMMY!

[AggieRocket]

Thank God!

[liamrock]

ONE MORE RUN!!!!

[DaDakota]

Finally, a breaking ball....man that umpire was SQUEEZING that dish...

DD

[JunkyardDwg]

Wow...what a great pitch.

[Nick]

I just screamed louder than I did for the Burke HR... that was HUGE!

[Aceshigh7]

Roy Oswalt is the freaking man!!!!!!!!!

[Miguel]

Holy crap that strikezone was ridiculous. Roy prevails anyway.

[MR. MEOWGI]

I heard my wife clapping in the other room (she's a bigger man the me and can watch the game) and I knew we were out of it.

Go Astros!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still mad about how the umpire extended the strike zone for Izzy last night, and won't do the same for Andy or Roy. Bout time they got a freaking call at the dish :mad:

[Nick]

Does anybody else know what Edmonds was looking for??? He basically just struck out THREE TIMES in that AB, by taking the two pitches that should have been called, and the one that finally was.

[DaDakota]

And....you face Albert as a leadoff hitter, and all he can do is cut the lead in half.....

THAT is big too.

Nice single Lance,do that more with men on,thanks.

[desihooper]

Good point DD... let's play add on fellas. Heart of the line up... let's get it done!!!

[adw]

I hate Edmonds!!!!! :mad:

[ruddy]

Finnaly that mf called it right

Fuc9 Edmon!

[desihooper]

God Bless... he ALWAYS taketh away :eek:

[Nick]

You can't do anything about that... Ensberg nailed it the opposite way.

[BMoney]

Damn, he's good.

[JunkyardDwg]

Well that play just brings back memories. Freakin Edmonds :mad:

[Nick]

I'd rather he make that play now, than in a game 7.

ARRGH... They're showing it.

KC sez hello to wife of Meowgi... :)

Edmonds is such a showboat. He slows down on those flyballs so that he can have a chance to dive at it and look like a God. He always does that crap.

[Uprising]

:( Damn amazing diving catch at the warning track by Edmonds. Morgan was robed!

Lance still at first.

[adw]

We are hitting the ball hard,ugh we should be scoring more :(

[francis 4 prez]

someone needs to jeff gilooly edmonds for the next week or so. he never fails to make a catch against us. we would've been in the world series last year if he didn't catch that hit by ausmus.

ITA. Taveras would've been underneath that ball when it landed. :D
