    Please keep this to talk about the series. As usual no Play-by-Play, or general Astros talk. If you need play by play see one of the many other sites that have game casts.

    4-16 Felipe Paulino, RHP (0-0, 7.20) vs. Carlos Silva, RHP (0-0, 1.50) 1:20 on FSH

    4-17 Roy Oswalt, RHP (0-2, 3.75) vs. Tom Gorzelanny, LHP (0-0, 0.00) 12:05 on FSH

    4-18 Wandy Rodriguez, LHP (0-2, 6.10) vs. Ryan Dempster, RHP (1-0, 4.38) 1:20 FSH

    Astros shock the world and sweep the Baby Bears.

    Michael Barrett gets great seats along first base line. Oswalt hits him with fastball to the groin and steals his hot dog. Then grins.

    Damn, man. I want to watch the game on a Friday evening...not follow a damn internet scoreboard while working. Why couldn't they have done a night game and then two day games? Bastards. :mad:

    The Cubs have their own mess going around so we have a good chance at 2 out 3 with Paulino, Roy and Wandy going.

    Saying that we are 1-8, not ready to pick them to win a series on the road..LWL

    Totally agree. I love going to day games, but having to follow them at work sucks. In Austin, 1300 am won't preempt anything for Astros games, especially Jim Rome and UT water polo, so no radio is available. Haven't been able to find any good links to watch online. Gamecast is cool, but I'd still rather be on my couch watching.

    You know how LAME it is to not have offense. Astros are going to give up less than 10 runs this weekend...and might lose 2 of 3. :(

    I'll go WWL.

    This is my 2nd favorite baseball related pic ever...just behind the one of Nolan Ryan having Robin Ventura in a headlock.

    astros pitchers have got to have the best combined batting average among pitching staffs so far i would imagine. it seems like they get a hit every game.

    Would have won another one if we had been able to face Zambrano. I think the stros are ready to blow up on him
