    I love it when they play like this, I don't want to get false hopes after one game. I want them to put a string of 9 out of 10 games like this, then I will feel better.

    A much needed win and good to see Berkman hammer some bombs out...We need to win today just to give us some good momentum into this weekends series...

    I tried to get some tickets for Saturday nights game but all they had were SRO...What's going on?

    Really? To me it feels like longer. We always have a great turnout. Our fans are pretty dedicated.

    The Giants and Diamondbacks have already lost for a second consecutive day. The Braves are trailing 6-1 in the 9th. This is another great opportunity... with a win tonight, we make up a full game on everybody.

    even though they haven't had a good year, attendance was to be expected to be high after a World Series appearance.

    yeah, you always draw best the year after an exciting season....because the preceding season fuels offseason ticket sales.

    Guys,
    Should I periodically post the Astros win probabilities during the course of the game? It worked for last night's game.

    If you go to the Astros website you can get tickets from season holders. I got some tickets to the Brave series and I sat right behind the Braves dugout and I only paid $35 a ticket. Not bad at all for those seats and especially when their sold out ;)

    Remind Garner that he sucks and hope he eventually puts one of the other four options we have in his spot.

    yep. this franchise allows pitchers to suck consistently for a good 2 to 3 years before they realize and accept that they are crap. no reason that hirsh shouldnt be brought up. none.

    we shouldve have dropped buchholtz back to AAA rather than nieve.
    nieve has been pitching well

    maybe screw it and go to a 4 man pitching rotation

    huff has been horrible since his 1st game!!!
