Backe has pitched well of late aside from a few control issues. Well, not "well", but he's shown flashes. HE puts it together here. And a Backe HR into the Crawford's to top it off. STros win 6-2
Brandon was really locked in last year.I think it's too much to expect that kind of performance again,but if he can keep us in it for 5 -6 innings,I feel the Astros won't lose this game.Big Mo is on our side and after all these years,IT'S TIME TO GO TO THE WORLD SERIES! Astros 6 - Cards 4
no freaking ****. and then what thats finally over they go to the atlanta/new orleans overtime and now here we are 21 minutes into what suppose to be the pre-game show for the baseball game and they're giving us the post football game show. unfrickingbelievable!

No, you're not. The only thing Fox manages to do well in these playoffs is just showing the freaking game itself. Everything else they do... the sound effects, the pre-game narrative/intro, the pre-game show itself, the highlights they show... somehow manage to get me LESS hyped up for the game than if I hadn't seen it at all. If these games were on a real network.... ie, NBC/CBS, they'd hype up the drama factor 10-fold... and focus less on playing the latest music/cool graphics to introduce their games.
Backe's biggest problem... his control. Without the walks, he probably has a decent start against Atlanta... now, he's already falling behind and walking guys early on. C'mon Brandon!
Eckstein was trying to cheap-shot Everett... lets bean him! (this is just referring to the thousands of Cards fans who want Jason Lane to be hung for his "cheap" shot of Nunez).
