    Probable Pitchers

    9/16 Robertson vs Tsao ***8:05pm KNWS Ch.51

    9/17 Villone vs Oliver ***8:05pm FSSW

    9/18 Miller vs Jimenez ***2:05pm KNWS Ch.51


    Let's hope the Astros can keep up their current dominance on the road. As long as the run support keeps coming and Roberston has another outing like his last one, I see another sweep. WWW



    Matt Morris showing some love for the Astros:

    There could be more bad feelings brewing between the Cardinals and Cubs.

    Cardinals pitcher Matt Morris told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he wants the Astros to win the NL Central if the Cardinals don't. :D

    "I really have a respect for their players," Morris said of the Astros. "When we compete against them, the games are intense, but they don't have that `I want to kill you, I hate you' attitude. When it's over, it's easy to tip your hat to the other side.

    Villone is starting to worry me significantly
    He is due for a MAJOR meltdown.

    Well we're going to have our control pitchers out there that will rely on keeping the ball down and hitting corners, and changing speeds. Usually in Colorado, the ball tends to stay up and hang in the air more then usual, so I could see these games being high scoring, but hopefully our bats will step up and carry us this series.

    Rockies have been playing the NL leaders as of late and are 4-16 in their last 20 games. The Stros SHOULD continue this trend...though Villone's starting to worry me a bit too.

    I too am concerned with Villone, but I have more concern with Robertson who has been kind of shaky as of lately. Either way I will give them both a W for my predictions.

    WWW .....I needed this post to bring me to my little mildstone of 2500 POSTS BABY!!!!

    I can now go to bed knowing my day is complete.

    Go 'Stros!!

    Check the spelling on milEstone, don't want your 2500th to have a spelling error do you?

    I think he was alluding to the fact that 2500 posts was a minor milestone....thus the phrase Mildstone.

    I like it Up.

    Here are the definitions I looked up on dictionary.com.

    milestone - An important event, as in a person's career, the history of a nation, or the advancement of knowledge in a field; a turning point.

    mildstone - A semi-important event, as in a clutchcity.net members 2500th post, the Houston Rockets signing of 5 "players" to fill out the training camp roster, or a Sam Mack sighting; a point

    And I thought Uprising had just mis-typed something. ;)
