    So far Prior has struck out all 4 of the astros....no Hidalgo is up to bat.

    EDIT: 5 batters struck out in a row...Hidalgo joins the lowley group.

    Hell, the way this is going, this may be a 27 strike out game by Prior. Dammit.

    Edit: Blum flied out. Insert "Yay" or "Oh boy" here. :rolleyes:

    This is the beginning of the end for our beloved Astros and their season.

    Even if we make the playoffs...we won't go anywhere.

    I just hope we can get a damn hit in this game cause this is sad.

    Hot Damn what a game by the Astros. Man oh man. They get 12 runs last night and then put on quite a performance tonight.
    Astros rule.












    ...atleast the cards are going to lose.

    dissapointing loss but it would have been more surprising if we actually won.

    the astros number five starter against the cubs best and one of the hottest pitchers in the league. it's not the end of the season to lose that game.

    if villone can stay on track we have a chance tomorrow against wood.

    I thought we needed to sweep this series to make up for the fact that the Cubs have the easier remaining schedule.

    Hold that thought, the optimist in me just kicked in. We will be OK. We just need to take care of business tonight and get on a hot streak. Right?

    I don't think the Stros have what it takes. They are too nice. The position players are all nice, and the pitchers too.

    I want NASTY....brush em back, come in high with your cleats type of ball players.

    Also, the Stros are like the Rockets of a few years ago, holding on to fading stars a bit too long...Biggio in particular.
