    After months of waiting just to watch the Rocks play, who in the blue hell is going to play? I heard bout half of our starting lineup is out including Rice, Cat, Langhi, and Griffin. So, any thoughts on who is going to be our lineup tonight?

    It seems that with all the players that will be holding the first couple of games with injuries, then our lineup will be something like:

    PG - Damon Jones
    SG - Oscar Torres
    SF - Rudy Tomjanovich
    PF - Larry Smith
    C - Carol Dawson

    Out with injuries:

    Mobley - hip
    Rice - foot
    Griffin - ankle
    Collier - foot
    Langhi - ankle
    Nwanko - nose
    Williams - ankle
    Jackson - contract
    Moochie - behind bars for robbery against the Rockets
    KT - rabies

    and

    Cato - splinters in posterior region

    That's my guess.....

    I think CD has "gut-itis". He'll be out after a few trips up and down the court!:D

    OK, let's see...If the following people go out with injury:

    the entire rockets team
    the entire rockets coaching staff
    Turbo
    the towel boy
    the Rockets Power Dancers
    the beer vendor is section 125

    ...then I'll get my chance to play for the Rockets! Oh man, I can't wait...

    Dave2000,

    You are right... How in the world could I forget the Franchise... I do apologize...

    In order to keep him from getting hurt also, management has elected him to hand out cookies to Calvin and Bill during the broadcast.

    Has anyone that's been to a Rockets home game ever seen the beer guy that looks like Dennis Rodman's little brother? He's the spitten image!

    DAVE 2000: Yeah, KT's used to scoring 25ppg 10rpg in The Pit, so he'll have that career night. :)

    I think Berkman took Bagwell and Biggio's place as the biggest choke on the team. Dirk will get his pink slip on Friday.

    I don't mean to be hard on them but its just tough to root for a team and see them choke in the playoffs every single year. Its amazing.

    I truly know the feeling, my heart sank every time they went to the plate, batting .125 when all season 350 avg. some one need to be fired.
