    Game 2 is against a rookie the Astros have never seen before. That might be a no hitter.

    We've seen Mitre before. If I remember correctly he owned us.

    Edit: guess we haven't seen him before. He is not a rookie though.

    The Cubs are the only team we seem to play well against or fires us up. Plus, the Cubs park is so easy to hit in that you would think we could hit and score more than we have been. I hope that holds true here but I'm not counting on it.

    If they can get shut out by Chan Ho Park, then there is no hope for this team. They get swept again.

    I'm excited about Wandy getting a chance to pitch. He's a legit prospect imo with nice upside.

    And, he's a lefty... which automatically pre-disposes him for more success than Astacio.

    Of course, I'll be weary of tonight since he's already pitching on 3 days rest, its his first MLB start ever.
