after a fearsome 1-6 roadtrip, we should definitely be ready to play at home. since we all know a ****ty road record never spills over to your home ballpark
I am going to go with wins in all three games. I think that Derek Wheeler and Chad Qualls are going to pitch great in this series against the Colorado Rockies. Jason Lane and Preston Wilson have been batting very well yesterday, as I wrote in my AOL sports blog, Morgan Ensberg needs to continue hitting the homeruns. I think Andy Pettitte and Roy Oswalt are going to win at home and I think Fernando Nieve will win too, but it will be a slug it out game. I hope that Adam Everrette can hit a homerun also in this series!
Lidge has a long talk with Nolan Ryan before the game and closes out all 3 games for saves with noone getting on base.
Lance did not look to happy when he was taken off the on deck circle and replaced by Lamb. It's a strange substitution, the lead isn't that big.
