    Remember, no PBP in these threads and keep the chatter on topic (if it is about something other than this series, talk about it in another thread).

    How about a dominate start today?

    I pray for a sweep after that crap this weekend.

    I want to be hopeful that they won't get swept, but I just can't make myself be that way right now.

    I'm fully in Texans mode starting with tonight's game.

    Was that sarcasm?

    I can't believe how many people actually do use "dominate" in place of "dominant." It's almost as bad as "rediculous."

    I want to see WWW. I predict LLL.

    I'm going to throw up in my mouth if Roy whines to the media again. Dude is falling from mega-stud to pantywaste whiner, and that makes me sad.

    After winning 2 out of 3 against the Mets and seeing the Rockies get swept, the Cubs now have a glimmer of hope, knowing they still have a distant shot at winning the wild card. Only 7 of their remaining games are against teams above .500. All this may have factored into not trading Harden to the Twins.

    If we can somehow steal this series, it could put one of the last nails in the coffin on the Cubs' season. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

    No sarcasm. Hopeful.

    And I'm sorry to have infuriated the Grammar Police. Are you and Swoly joining forces?

    Would be awesome to take the series and destroy any post season hopes the Cubs might have.

    but honestly, I don't be watching.

    I'm WAY too excited about the Texans upcoming season. (haven't seen a game yet this pre-season)

    I agree, it makes no sense.

    It's almost as bad as people who say the could care less about something they claim not to care about

    So who do we think is the Astros MVP this year?

    I say a straight race between Wandy and Bourn. I give the edge to Wandy, but only just.

    Harden has 9 strikeouts and 6 walks thru 5IP.
