We're the only series that starts on Wednesday, so all others start on Tuesday and the NLDS game twos are both on Thursday... and since the Padres/Cards get a day off in between games 1 & 2 I suppose that is why they go the early start times... that and the fact the Braves vs. Astros is a better series then Padres vs. Cards.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I have an exam that starts at 2:30pm! Sheet! I'm going to try to take it early.
Finally my MLB.com all access package will pay off. Still wish FOX was carrying the game so I could ignore calls and watch the game on the big screen in the conference room at work.
gotta feel good about the chances with our pitching! offense should be a wash, but perhaps a slight edge to the astros with lane coming on strong
and.....? Ensberg, Berkman, Lane. equal out if not top that trio. throw in biggio/taveras/lamb and I think we've got the slight edge in bats. it's not much , but an edge it is I believe.
Man, the Braves owned us this season having a 5-1 record against us. And they outscored us 42-13, IIRC. BUT, i think that was mainly back when we sucked (earlier in the year). I see us winning in 6. Looks like I'm capturing the first hr of the game on my pc.
that top trio might be better but, without looking at numbers, i definitely don't think our offense as a whole is nearly as good. our pitching will carry us past them though.
ahh. Isn't this a familiar statement that the Rockets fans looked at 10 years ago. Then we went to San Antonio for the West Finals AND KICKED THE SPERS ASSES!!!!!!! Astros in 4! I'm freakin pumped up right now
