The Astros record on opening day with Roy Oswalt pitching is 2-5. Oswalt is 2-3 in those games with two no decisions. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Houston_Astros_Opening_Day_starting_pitchers
Lets Go Stros!!! Time to surprise some people this season! I'm just excited I get to see a game on my big TV since it is national as I'll be watching most of the season on my Slingbox.
Heyward crushed that ball. He's got an awesome swing to. Lineup for today...... Bourn CF Matsui 2B Pence RF Lee LF Blum 1B Feliz 3B Towles C Manzella SS Oswalt P
Lincecum is 2-0 with a 1.67ERA against us in 5 starts(0.79 ERA at MMP in 2 no decisions) Cain is 1-2 with a 3.54ERA in 4 games(3 starts)
With Heyward and Hansen, the Braves have great young anchors in the rotation, and in the batter's box.
So we got thumpers in Blum, Feliz, Manzella, Towles vs Lincecum, Zito, and Cain... I'm going to be more realistic for this series and say I'll be happy if we just don't get shut out for the entire series
