Not just him..we have a few of them that are riding the Astros to do some damage. I think it has to do a lot with our pitching staff and how well they are pitching right now.

New WS prediction--What happens when (if) the Astros win the WS: Hell freezes over Beltran fires his agent and requests a trade SI puts it on the cover only of a special edition sold only in Houston In his post game interview following the clinching game 6 win, Biggio says "Never underestimate the heart of a champion" after having said "that's baseball" and "we took care of our business" twice each. Sura fall in faint.
I saw this and I think that's great to get the pub, but when are these guys ever right...Don't get me wrong, I believe too, but you have too many guys jumping the bandwagon... Btw, Stros in 6 vs. the Red Sox...
Guess we can't complain about lack of respect or national press anymore, can we? (Actually, it was annoying how much play Yankees/Red Sox got at the end while we were still fighting for a spot...)
I can't believe this.. never in my wildest dreams would I have expected experts to pick us WINNIng the series. Geez, we're freakin favored by them to take down the Cards! I mean, I'm really really hoping...and I can give you a million reasons why I think it'll happen (pitching, injuries, recent performance, momentum, recent head to head results, etc.)...and I really think it will. But even I know that it's gonna be tough. To hear over 50% of ESPN analysts say it'll happen means I'm not being a stupid homer (completely).. haha, and I guess it means they can't use the Rockets "Nobody respects us" type mantra as they storm through the postseason!
Man, this team is receiving love for real. This year playoff are going to be pretty pretty interesting. BTW, Astros in 6
I hope the Padres take out the Cards for us. Cards seem to have our # and the Padres happen to have the Cards #. That would be so sweet.
If that happens, who gets home field in the NLCS? Us with the better record? Or the Padres as a division winner?
These predictions are surprising really since ESPN is a bunch of Boston homers... Let's hope they aren't trying to pull some reverse jinx on us! I really would start crying for joy if Baggy and Bigg can get a WS ring before their career is up... Well.. that.. and to think the Beltran is sitting at home while the Astros are popping champangne on tv.
