    It's only the third inning? Uuugh, I don't want to have to wait 4 more innings for Qualls to tie it up. Put him in now!

    Did anybody else notice the replica Astrodome model available to the fans for next Saturday's (i think) game is innacurate. It's a dirt infield, yet the Astrodome just had dirt around the bases. That's a pretty big mistake.

    Wow that was a long HR!

    Well Stros are still looking good tonight. I wish STL or CIN would have lost though so we could gain some more ground.

    Btw... aren't we rocking a pitcher that we've never faced before? I thought that we're supposed to fail miserably every single time against them.

    Garner, please don't pull Roger yet! Bullpen too shaky, let the Rocket throw a bit more...

    Nobody should be feeling "sorry" for Roger... but knowing our bullpen, I won't speak too soon.

    I say I need to get tattoos more often, geeze. Is this all it took to get us going? I am so proud of our guys. They are really turning it on.

    Well, it looks like there's grass. So it's probaby right when it opened before they developed Astroturf.

    I am betting that was the first year the Dome was open. They couldn't keep the grass growing, so they invented AstroTurf.

    I try to forget them... who knows how many careers that god-awful invention consumed... not to mention the building of monstrosities such as the Kingdome, Silverdome, the Metrodome and RCA dome.

    The only dome they did "right" (besides the Astrodome) was the Superdome... that place didn't wear out as fast as the other ones, despite being older than most of them.
