    the umps strike zone is all over the place tonight....
    at least they are being consistent though, willy t got a tough call at the top of the frame and now the pads got one to end the 7th....phew!

    this could mean lidge could be wild and still get calls?

    i hope so

    You know what I like about you JYD your always so calm and you find the best in every situation.. Even when Lidge gives up 1,000's of HRs your still calm...I wish I could be like that... ;)

    I know there are a few B/CS folks that post here. We'll get everyone together and definitely do a viewing party at one of the local sports bars or at someone's house. It'll be fun.

    Your not kidding..I'm watching the game on ESPN gamecast and it shows the strikezone and where every pitch is. Some of these pitches are like way out of the strikezone and they are being called strikes. I don't know how accurate this gamezone thing is but it goes with what your saying..

    Eh I just unleash my emotion before I post here...believe me I've done my fair share of yelling when the Astros or Rockets screw up (can't say the Texans because they haven't been good enough to screw up yet). :p

    So far tonight is vintage '05. 1-0 game; turn it over to the bullpen and Qualls, Wheeler and Lidge? shut the door.

    I've been saying it for a while now Wheeler should be our closer...Man I hope we can get some more runs and get 3 OUTS....Is that to much to ask for...Please No Lidge Garner....Is Lidge throwing in the bullpen ?

    I know I use to be the biggest Oiler fan and man they used to win all the time of course they'd screw up in the playoffs especially against Buffalo...but I Like the Texans I don't quit Love them YET...They'll come around....I LOve The Rockets and Stros and I'm also a big Dallas Stars Fan..I wish Houston would get a Hockey team or should I say real Hockey Team (Aeros..)
