First trip to Fenway. Pitching Probables: 6-13 -- Johnson (0-1, 5.11) vs Lowe (6-3, 4.66) 6-14 -- Redding (4-4, 3.47) vs Burkett (3-3, 6.12) 6-15 -- Miller (4-7, 4.82) vs Kim (1-0, 6.60) Fearless Prediction- Jimy Williams will absent-mindedly go into the Red Sox dugout just for old times sake.
Lowe scares me... But this will be a great series. I think Bags will rediscover his stroke here, as he would want to mash at home. I'm feeling optimisitic... With Rupe going against our #5 instead of Lowe, as well as the way Redding and Miller have been pitching lately, and with Bagwell coming out of a slump in his hometown, I say we SWEEP!! Quality starts out of Redding and Miller. Bagwell gets 2 HR and 6 RBI in the series. Game 1 is a sluggfest 11-10 Astros. Game 2 is a pitcher's duel 3-2 Astros. Game 3 is a better one 1-0 Astros.
Okay, I know that I'm in the minority here, but a sweep at Fenway?? Such a post makes me think your real name is Homer Simpson. The Sox are a better hitting team, so far, than the Yankees, expecting to hold them to a total of 2 runs in 2 games is laughable. The only thing I think will happen is some slug fests, as the pitching has been awful so far for the Sox. Facing Ryan Rupe should be a win for y'all and I hope and pray that Grady goes with Kim instead of Burkett. But if he doesn't, then I can see the Astros winning 2 out of 3 as Burkett is useless.
It's getting to the point that it almost does not matter who our starters are on the stros...The bullpen is the beast! That will be the differance in the series...2 out of 3, Astros!!!
lets hope...I freakin' HATE lossing the rubber game ala NY--we must show bean-town whats up! Down with the Amatuer League!
WWW biggio will hit 4 doubles throughout the series. berkman will 2 homers and fenway bagwell 4 homers kent 2 homers one each by kent, ensburg, and doggy.
Ausmus had a bunch of good plays in that game, and Ensberg with another homer. This player is on a huge hotstreak.
