I hate to go against our team, but I'm going to have to say.... Us - 3 Them - 6 Our offense falters after the big game yesterday. Pugs
None of that ****. Even if you dont think they will win, you are going to have to say they will win. I believe!! Astros 487 Cards -3
The Stros are on a roll right now, and they have hit Woody Williams quite well this year. Astros 8 Cards 3
Have you guys seen what this team has done to Woody Williams when he throws his 88 mph fastball up in the zone, and the cutter that doesn't really cut, the sinker that doesn't really sink, and the curveball that's so flat... you would donate the money yourself for her implants...? Regardless of what Munro does, Woody is shaking in his (cowboy) boots right now, as he knows that his home-town team has had his number the last couple of years... big time. The one thing I love about playing the Cardinals is that we know them a lot better than we know anybody else. Hell... they're still unfamiliar with guys like Backe, Qualls, Beltran and even Lidge. We KNOW Matty Mo, Woody, Marquis, Suppan, Tavarez, Kline, Izzy, etc.
Man I hope the 1st game gets rained out so we can line up our pitchers a little better. There is a chance, here's the forecast for St. Louis. Today: Overcast with rain showers at times. Thunder possible. High 61F. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Rainfall near a half an inch. Tonight: Cloudy with occasional rain showers. Low 53F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 50%. Tomorrow: Rain showers in the morning becoming more widely scattered in the afternoon. High around 65F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 50%. Tomorrow night: Overcast with rain showers at times. Low around 45F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%. Thursday: Showers possible. Highs in the mid 50s and lows in the upper 30s. Friday: Occasional showers possible. Highs in the low 60s and lows in the low 40s. Saturday: Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper 50s and lows in the upper 30s.
Woody Williams has a 9.00 ERA (in 15.0 innings) versus the Astros this year. The Stros have had 24 hits and own a .353 batting average against him. I like our chances.
The Cardinals have had time to rest, I don't understand why they're throwing Wiliams tonight. If we've beaten him up so bad then you'd think he would put someone else out there. I dunno, maybe they only got 1 more days rest and it really didn't make much of a difference, but as well as we've hit Williams I'd think he would put anyone else out there. Pugs
There's an old saying in Missouri... if you don't like the weather, just wait 5 minutes. "Well, we here in Blaine would like to think that we can do that in 3 minutes..."
