Please keep this to talk about the series. As usual no Play-by-Play, or general Astros talk. If you need play by play see one of the many other sites that have game casts. 4-5 Tim Lincecum, RHP (0-0, -.--) vs. Roy Oswalt, RHP (0-0, -.--) 6:05 on FSH and ESPN2 4-6 Barry Zito, LHP (0-0, -.--) vs. Wandy Rodriguez, LHP (0-0, -.--) 7:05 on FSH 4-7 Matt Cain, RHP (0-0, -.--) vs. Brett Myers, RHP (0-0, -.--) 7:05 on FSH
First! of the season. So glad baseball season has arrived again, hope Roy is back to form and we see an outstanding pitching match-up tonight.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it's baseball season!!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: WWW. It's too early to make rational predictions. :grin:
WWWW We're so good, that they'll award us an extra win for being super awesome! :grin: That can happen right...right?
Hard not to get excited with all the pop in the bats from our infield. Felix, Blum, Manzella, and Matsui. Just WOW! It is a good thing defense is unimportant as these guys can't field.
Opening day is always an excited day, even when expectation for your team aren't particularly high. Speaking of which...I'll set the over/under on the number of hits the Astros get while Lincecum is in the game at 4.5.
Anyone know our track record when it comes to home openers with Roy pitching? I thought they mostly ended in losses. It will be nice to win one for a change...but I'm not expecting it.
I'm watching this over the Rockets game sadly, after last night I can't bear to watch a back to back. I think Lincecum is great, but the Astros beat him last year so here's hoping some of that confidence transfers to this year. I'll go with WWL, Cain always ate us alive iirc.
Getting ready to check out of work and head downtown. Even though I have very little hope this season, opening day is always a good time. LWL
by the end of tonight the astros will of had more games nationally televised than the rockets......Anyways WWW Pence goes off!
