    If we can get the Ben Sheets Monkey off of our back then we should kill the Brewers. Here's to the 'stros getting their second series sweep.

    Go Astros!!!

    If Sheets has anything close to the stuff he had the other day, then we are not going to beat him.

    LWWW

    3 out of 4 ain't bad.

    I hate it that Reddings being the No. 5 starter has to face the same ace two times in a row.

    We lose with Redding and then win the next 3...I think our offense is on a roll and will continue throughout the whole year...

    I think we'll find a way to scrap out some runs tonight... but our dominance will end on Saturday, as Kinney will somehow be the stopper against us again (he did it last year as well).

    Of course I want sweep... but its too early in the season to start predicting sweeps either way.

    A lot of you guys are not giving Redding enough credit. I know he can fall apart at times, but others times he can be dominate. I think he's going to bounce back from his last performance.

    Redding wasn't exactly bad in his first start...Sheets was just mowing down the Astros.

    Our bats are so hot right now that I think we'll knock Sheets out by the 5th inning.

    I think the Astros bats are too hot to be shut down like the last time they faced Sheets, but I still think this is a loss.

    Second series sweep of the year. Count on it.

    Redding has too much potential this year. I understand that talent never won a ball game, but this is Redding's year. He's due.

    As far as Duckworth, the other night, after stepping in for Fernandez, he really showed me something. I have much more confidence in Duckworth now than I would have if you had asked me before his "start".

    I don't think anyone needs to worry about Oswalt and Clemens.

    Astros sweep the Brewers.

    WWLW as well.

    Biggio and Everett are doing a superb job of getting on base setting up the big guns. The pitching with exception to Mr. Fernandez has been good. They've got a shot at a sweep
