    Yeah, that was really more tongue in cheek. I certainly don't want to see Clemens or Bagwell or any of our experienced oldies go. I'm just enjoying this good start by our rookies, because I really don't expect it to last. If it could last until Lance gets back, that would be wonderful, though.

    Lidge consistenly throws in the mid 90's, pretty impressive, how old is Lidge?

    Our Round Rock rotation is STACKED right now, too. Zeke Astacio, Wandy Rodriguez, Taylor Buchholz, Carlos Hernandez, and Jared Gothreaux.

    I really like this team when we get Berkman back. Speed kills. Burke made a good case to get some more starts before Berkman gets back.

    Sweep. 4 game streak. 3rd save for Lidge.

    I keep on forgetting that Round Rock is AAA now.

    Really nice to see the Astros winning like this without Berkman.

    Everett, Burke and Taveras are going to cause alot of trouble on the base paths this year. :cool:

    I have a feeling Carlos will never be major league material anymore...sucks because he had some great stuff pre-injury...:(

    I hope I'm wrong but that's just my gut instinct...

    With a potentially sub par offense and good pitching this season, I think Lidge has the potential to get 45+ saves, easily. He could have a record breaking season.

    Well, in Everett's case, you have to get on in the first place but I get your point.

    Great sweep. Let's hope the bats continue in NY.

    Hell Yeah, I think everyone will be booing their TV. We might be able to hear eachother....:D :D

    Screw Beltran.

    I got tickets in section 254 for the 4th game in the series when the mets come to H-Town in July. I have a clear shot at Beltran in the outfield. I WILL BE HECKLING like a Mofo. Oh Man, will I

    I think I will be there too. We usually get a bunch of tickets in July since my family comes back to the USA during that time for a visit.

    As for the tv, you know we all will be. I can't wait. BOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo :mad: :)

    Hey Castor. Where's your new thread for the mets series?

    It starts in 14hrs. :p
