    1st!!!

    I just can't see duckworth making it past the 5th. But the Rocket and Mulder in the 2nd game should be a great game.

    Waiting for MadMax and his WWW prediction. :)

    Seriously, Duckworth is gonna get hit like a pinata today, but the weekend games should be good pitching duels. Maybe Wandy Rodriguez or Astacio will get called up soon.

    I don't care if Duckworth has a lucky game and does well (which I seriously doubt) ... He has done ZERO to deserve this opportunity. Its time for Zeke to have his chance.

    Unfortunately, Zeke has been getting his ass knocked around like your aforementioned pinata, but in AAA. His control within the strike zone, oddly, has been the major problem.

    Burba & Wandy have been pitching lights-out. As has Burns out of the pen.

    I think Duckworth gets smoked back to the minors tonight....then we lose a 2-1 heartbreaker after a typical Clemens game...then Backe keeps on keepin on and wins the last game of the series.

    The first game is looking a little scary though.

    Our hitting (or lack thereof) is what will be the deciding factor in most of these games. Our pitching matches up fairly evenly with the Cardinals. (even Ducky).

    This is the astros baseball that we all know and love. Astros 1-0. But we have the horses that can outduel anyone so I like. Plus we have Taveras speed to steal that one run. I think we'll be ok until Berky has our backe.

    Adam to hit leadoff.

    I guess he is healthy now.

    Adam out via a groundout to 1st baseman Pujols.

    One thing that is encouraging about Adam this season is his good composure with 2 strikes.

    Bidges doubles to left.
