    After Roy O pitches today...what is your NLCS Rotation?


    Wednesday - Munro
    Thursday - Backe

    Saturday - Clemens
    Sunday - Oswalt
    Monday - Backe with short leash, Munro ready to come in at the first sign of trouble.

    Wednesday - Clemens
    Thursday - Oswalt

    I don't think Backe could go on 3 days rest...considering he rarely goes past the 5th-6th inning, and I believe he's always been a reliever, not a starter. It'd take him longer to recover, and I wouldn't want him out there on 3 days rest. So Peter "Pedro" Munro could possibly get 2 starts in the series.

    Clemens on Saturday on normal rest, Oswalt on Sunday on normal rest. Backe could go Monday, with Munro ready to come in if anything happens. Clemens on Wednesday on 3 days, Oswalt on 3 days on Thursday.

    What would you do?

    Garner should get some film of, I think 99, when Cammy hit that homer and we beat the Braves to take a 1-0 lead. Show that for inspiration. Backs to the wall guys lose this and we may not mkae the playoffs again for a loonnng time if Biggio, Kent, Beltran etc abandon ship.

    I believe.

    If we lose this game now, then I will be totally devastated.

    Let's win for Ken. That has to be the feeling going into this game.

    Please, God, let us come out on top in honor of Ken and to overcome our demons against the Braves. Please do not continue to punish Houston in favor of Atlanta...especially now. Amen.

    My thoughts exactly.

    I was grumpy after yesterday's game, but life is to precious to waste on the past.

    Let's Go Astros. Win one for Cammy.

    Someone said that they would either win big or lose big. I totally agree. I hope they come out and kick all kinds of ass for Cammy. They will be the talk of the playoffs from now on if they do. The Astros have that kind of story that the media will want to get behind. The big comeback and now winning for their buddy.

    Cammy played for the Braves too so some of them might be fired up as well.

    Cammy may have played briefly for the Braves but Cammy is an Astros and a Padre. Thats it.

    Cammy , Bags and Bidge are pretty good friends...it wouldn't shock me to see them with the #11 on their caps or cleats.

    Why exactly was that inning a fluke? Just because Biggio hit a postseason homer or because Chipper Jones is a jackass?

    Damn straight! Just like the 0/7 postseason series streak the Astros have

    he is probably referring to the ball that hit the roof as a fluke...since it bought us another out

    Do or Die...

    Astros win tonight, no problem...I think this is the year we get over the hump...Oswalt needs to stay in for 7 inning, no less...Roger should have stayed longer than 5...

    anyway, I believe and will be watching the game tonight...

    Go Stros'!!!

    Well, hopefully, jungle karma doesn't bite us in the ass. John Smoltz was on the jungle today.

    Go 'Stros!!
