    can't believe we took out oswalt at 88 pitches. can't believe we didn't bunt with biggio. CAN'T F'N BELIEVE WE PUT IN LIDGE IN THE 7TH. after dominating the regular season, you had to know things would be a little different in the postseason since it was his first postseason game. you cannot make a tough 3 outs in the ninth become a tough 8 outs from the 7th through the 9th. garner lost the magic in this game. better get it back quick.

    Man!!! This could be a demoralizing defeat if we don't come back ... We NEED to take this one now. We gotta start going for some real offense rather than just trying to hit home runs

    Agreed ... that was huge.

    Smoltz batting? Guess that answers my question about the 10th.

    you have got to be kidding me!!!!

    EDIT: What 10th ...

    We got pretty lucky early in the game, and got a bit unlucky at the end. All things considered, this game could have easily been over in the Braves favor. 11 hits and 2 runs for the Braves through 8. The old Astros would have already lost this game.

    this keeps reminding me more and more of the 1999 series.

    Sadly, I was at game 3 in the dome.. AKA the "I hate Jay Powell" game.

    Biggio needs to be benched permanently at this point. He has a blistering .125 batting average so far this series and the sad thing is thats not far from his playoff average. Sit his ass down.

    Is Lidge the new post season scapegoat?

    I'm sorry, but the talk about Lidge being one of the best relievers in baseball can end now.

    You can't let that wild pitch rattle you. He looks so unconfident out there.

    Gotta be more nails in these situations.

    I hope Smoltz gets hurt running the bases.

    It also sucks that a guy who should be in Jail has gotten some clutch hits for them. But I still think we are going to win this game.
