    All series talk goes in here. DO NOT GIVE PLAY-BY-PLAY! If you need PBP try Yahoo, ESPN, or Sportsline.

    9-30 To be announced vs. Lance Cormier, RHP (4-5, 5.00) 6:05 on KNWS

    10-1 Andy Pettitte, LHP (14-13, 4.30) vs. John Smoltz, RHP (15-9, 3.58) 12:05 on FSSW

    What's their record against Smoltz? This year and all-time. I don't recall it being good.

    I sure like having both Clemens and Pettite on the mound for this series. Who will go on Saturday?

    610 says it'll probably be Sampson.

    Hasn't anyone noticed the irony here yet???

    If the Astros want to go anywhere in the playoffs, they STILL have to get past the &^(#@$&#@ Braves.

    Well, after a year of complacency due to their sucktitude, it's good to awaken that deep-seated hatred of the @(#&$#(* Braves once again.

    I HATE the Braves.

    Hey why mess with the karma, these boys are on a roll!

    Sweep! Sweep! Sweep!

    Boy, Kruky on ESPN baseball tonite was dogging the sh*t out of the Crapholes. He said the way the Cards are hitting, Capuano and Sheets dont even need to bring their A game becaue the Cards are choking SO hard.

    Dont look now but the pundits are coming around giving us maybe just a little respect. Kruky also said "Garner is managing his (ass off) proverbially speaking."

    Man, I honestly cannot believe this! We pull this off I'm convinced it really doesnt matter how we do til Aug/Sept though I would like one semi-normal season. Call me crazy but a little less drama would not be a bad thing. :D

    Of course, if Lane and Ensberg's numbers are any where near what they were last year, we would clinched a couple of weeks ago. But, hey ...
    the Stros love the Stage. :cool:

    The last game vs. Smoltz kinda worries me, even though we finally beat the braves in the playoffs, Smoltz is still an astro killer.

    Braves may be out for revenge for the last playoff defeats?

    Down with the tomahawk chop.

    I hope RM95 will be wearing his Braves Suck shirt all weekend. I think it should be required.

    We're all counting on you.

    I just watched Rich Lord on Cold Pizza talking about the Astros, called Luke Scott a rookie, what a spaz.

    he still qualifies as a rookie. he didn't have enough AB's last year for it to be considered a rookie season.

    Man, Buck the Fraves! :D :D :D And you can quote me on that ...

    Game 1: Yawn ...Rocket will b*tch slap them.
    Game 2: Could be a little tougher but Sampson has shown resolve to get it done.

    Game 3: We need Handy Andy's A game vs Smoltzie ... we win anyway 3-1.

    By tomorrow nite, Larasshole will be needing to check into the psyche ward so he can talk and play with the bunny rabbits.

    Bottom line, Cards dont believe, the Stros and their fans do ... thats why we are going to the playoffs and they will spend the offseason in the corner sucking their thumb, laughing at their own uselessness. :D :p
