    Time for some offense. Bagwell can make even more of a statement here. Hit a homer.

    Finally.

    K by Lidge..

    2-2 heading to 9th.

    Time to get to Smoltz. Revenge against Atlanta wouldn't be complete without getting to him.

    Not that I absolutely love the commentary thus far (I wish they'd shut the hell up bout the Biggio double play/no bunting crap), but they do have a pt....if thats all he's throwing then they're gonna be looking for it and pound on it. He needs a second pitch - his fastball - to be really effective.

    But thank God the 'Stros got out of that inning...

    It's a shame we couldn't force Cox to make a choice of Smoltz batting or not last inning. I want Smoltz out of the game -- I can't imagine any of our guys hitting him. I hope I'm wrong though.

    Well, I guess it wasn't meant to be as easy as it seemed yesterday.

    Who would they go to after Smoltz? Would they pitch him in the 10th?

    I don't like the Miceli vs Smoltz matchup...

    These pitches are not close... why is Dave O'Brien trying to make a big deal about it?

    Smoltz is really really good. We are just overmatched right now

    Those last 2 at bats looked waaaay too familiar (see previous Astros playoff at bats)...

    Just flailing at pitches.

    we gotta bring out Ausmus for a pinch hit homer in the 10th.


    who's gonna pitch the 9th for us?? Miceli was warming up, right?
