    This is what we've been waiting for since 1986. It's set up exaclty like that series should have. Our ace ready and rested for Game 7.


    LET'S GO ASTROS

    I watched the game yesterday just because there was a HOUSTON team in that game. I cheered and clapped for the Astros for the whole game but, to be honest, I didn't know what was going on over there. This was the first time in my whole life that I watched a baseball game. LOL.

    Now I am looking for something like "baseball 101" on internet. I hope I can be more knowledgable about baseball before tonight's game.

    Go Astros. :)

    One thing I keep thinking about is pressure. Roger has been here (and I'd assume in worse situations) before so even though I'm sure he's nervous, I wouldn't think it is half as bad as it is for Suppan. I would definitely think that woud give us a great chance to get going in the first couple of innings before he gets any confidence.

    Ahhh I'm just watching a little Baseball Tonight blurb on ESPN. I used to like Harold Reynolds, but the guy is REALLY pissing me off now.:mad: He never, ever picks the Astros to win anything or gives them respect. All his "Fact or Fiction" predictions are so wrong. He said "Fact, the Cardinals will deny the Astros their first World Series." WRONG! He did say, though, that Lidge is bionic and the amount he pitches wont affect him. Screw you ESPN analysts, they will prove you wrong!

    This is where the Astros are going to show their true selves and kill this nonsense by the Cardinals. I hope Clemens steps up, mows down the Cardinals, and Beltran shows his MVP colors.

    Astros 6
    Cards 2

    LET'S MOVE ON TO FACE THE CURSED RED SOX!

    Harold Reynolds is a herb. That guy should be eating some major crow when the Stros beat the Cards. Him and that ****** Kruk picked Cards/Yankees WS.

    If you're right, I might have a heart attack somewhere around the 10th.

    Can't it be easy, for once? I'm looking for an 8 to 1 victory.

    I think our offense will click if Biggio can find some way to get on base tonight! Beltran has 4 hr's 5 rbis in this series. 3 solo shots and a 3 run hr he hit off Williams in game one...guess who he drove in? Biggio has to do his job tonight! I wonder if they'll have Womack tonight. Gosh this is going to be an anxious day! Go Clemens! I know his motor is gonna be hummin' tonight.

    I can't quit shaking up here at work. I'm really nervous. I just want this to be over with. Hopefully, the result goes our way. I also just found out my boss is rooting for the Cardinals. :mad:

    I AM CRAPPING MY PANTS WITH ANTICIPATION AND EXCITEMENT!

    LET'S DO THIS THING!

    Go Stros!

    Hypothetical Situation.

    Roger Clemens is pitching on the back end of a double header. He pitched 9 perfect innings on the front end so he's tired. In between games he gets mugged by a bad guy and he cuts off his non throwing arm and gouges out both of his eyes. The opponent in both of the games is a collection of Marvel Super heroes. Captain America is pitching and he's got a 110 mph fastball and a 12-6 crurveball that is unhittable. They've got Cyclops, The human Torch, Spiderman, Iceman, Thor, Nightcrawler, The Beast, Sub Mariner, Thing, Wolverine, a reincarnated Bucky, Hawkeye, Powerman, Iron Fist, Jack of Hearts, half of the West Coast Avengers, and Ghost Rider. They are managed by Professor X.

    What do you predict the score will be?

    BTW - The astros are only fielding Beltran, Berkman, Adam Everett, Biggio, Bagwell, Kent, Ausmus, the Rocket, and the ghost of Caminiti.
