Don't ever buy the ranch ones...i have bought the BBQ which ere good. The Ranch ones tasted like the wree rotten or just nasty musty flavor...just plain bad.... Oh yeah Astros win 7 - 2
I guess it's official now. Clemens v. Ortiz in Game 4 http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/front/2837862
I still think it depends on what happens tomorrow. If the Astros go up 2-1 Garner will think long hard about holding him back to a normal starts rest. There's been some talk that Oswalt won't be able to go on 3 days rest (Heard it on 610), so the question is, do you want to take the chance in having Pete Munro starting game 5?
Sounded pretty definitive in article. Clemens is going game 4. Garner doesn't want to have to go back to Atlanta for a game 4, and if we lose game 3, there is no way you go with Munro, first, to try and save your season.
No way do I want to see Munro starting in the playoffs....that just scares me. We will win these games at home!
Of course if we go down 2-1 starting Clemens is a no brainer. I just worry about Clemens going on 3 days rest because he's always struggled.
He had never won a game one of any series either...but he did that this year. NEW YEAR PEOPLE !!! GO STROS !! DD
I need the Astros to win to erase the heartache of 1999. Walt Freaking Weiss..... I think someone, either Kent, Ensberg, or Viz is going to have a key at bat in this game with runners on and a chance to break the game open in the late innings. Here's hoping they come through. Here's what I sorta dreamed: second and third, two out.... Astros down a run in the 6th. Kent comes up and shoots a ball down the through the left side between third and short (poetic justice) and with the runners going on contact, Berkman beats out a close play at the plate. Astros go up one, knock their pitcher out of the game. And then play add-on with a late homer by (of all people) Biggio in the 7th inning. Of course, he is pulled soon there after for defensive purposes. Lidge comes on in the NINTH and retires the side in order, Drew, Jones, and LaRoach.
This may be true but he "struggled" in Game 1 too and we saw what happened. I think Roger is the type of guy that can rise above not having his best stuff, especially at home in front of a wild MMP crowd. He's a bulldog and when his adrenaline kicks in, he can do just about anything. Look at it this way. In Game 4, either we will be trying to close out the series at home or the braves will be trying to eliminate us. Either way, do you want Munro on the hill? I'd much rather have The Rocket in either situation.
i have a good feeling about backe today here's to an astros victory (hopefully) 13 mins until game time!
Thompson taken out.. His injury is acting up. Hopefully Paul Byrd will be rusty and we can crush him.
I think we could have pounded Thompson, so I kind of wish he was still in throwing limp. But outside of Smoltz, we should be able to handle their bullpen and leave them in bad shape tomorrow. Although they might bring in Ortiz or Byrd meaning they'd be forced to start the other tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure Cox will throw Ortiz tommorow... Prepare for Byrd, Gryboski, Martin, Alfonseca, Retisma, etc.
