    I predict Oswalt will pitch great.

    Garner will swallow his stupid pills and bring in Micelli and Russ Springer to blow the game.

    well, the good thing is ....we should have a fresh Lidge tomorrow

    Braves bullpen is spent and Wright wasn't good the first game

    I believe.

    we WILL win tomorrow

    :( I really wanted this one to end at home.

    It would have been easier that way etc. Well....crap.

    Let's win this thing tomorow! Time to make history!

    9-3 Astros.

    Braves have choked away the last two game 5's at their place... and Jaret Wright is no Maddux, Glavine, or Smoltz.

    i'm not even going to bother to predict win or loss

    have got hw, wasted too much time watching already.

    yes I have temporarily taken over roll of board troll in the astros section but.... I'm not even watching the game until I know we're ahead by 12 runs so no trolling from me until much later tommorow.

    Lets just hope today we weren't witnessing Clemens, Beltrans and Biggio's last time stepping onto the field at Minute Maid.

    Yea...I guess I'm going to stay at work and not catch the first several innings of this game. It's too much to watch or handle. I want us to win. But, this is shaping up to be not what I want. I think if it's close...then the bullpen will win or lose this game. Unfortunately, Atlanta's bullpen has proven to be superior to our bullpen. So, we have to hit and hit hard to win. If we get in a close game, then I think history will repeat itself. Damn this is killing me.

    Depends on what happens with the Dodgers/Cards game. If they close out LA tonight the game would be primetime. If not, another afternoon time.

    That's a good question... if the Dodgers win again today, their game 5 is also tommorow.

    We may have another 3pm game because of that.

    If the Dodgers lose, then the game is at night(8 eastern). If the Dodgers win, then the game is a day game(4 eastern).

    We're screwed. Astros had their chance, and they blew it.

    8-2 Braves

    :(

    That's right....I forgot it was Lima Time last night. LA is still alive.

    Man....I can't believe the Braves have tied this one up....

    Hmmm... 4 of those 6 teams went onto play in or win the World series.

    Astros - 7

    Braves - 5

    I don't think i can take another 1st round exit; put up or shutup

    I don't have a prediction. Biggio played well today and we still lost the game. So i don't know what will happen.

    I'm just going to watch it unfold.
