    I see us winning all 3 games as well. Our bats are coming around. Having Taveras and Lamb in their current lineup spots is really helping our offense. Plus we're at home. Time for some payback.

    WWW, which would put as at .500 when Lance gets back. About the spot I thought we'd be in when he returned to the lineup.

    ....Is it against the rules for a player to wear another player's jersey if they're not playing? Maybe Roger should wear Backe or Pettite's jersey during his next start...

    Wow, I flip it over during half time of the game and Biggio hits a three run bomb and we're up 8-0!

    Who is this team, and what have they done with my Astros?

    I personlly, would like to thank the Cubbies for waking up the Astros bats.

    We are hitting the ball like crazy since the Cubs came to town!

    Just like last year! WHOOP! Thanks for turning around our season Cubs!


    :D :D :D

    8-0 Baby!

    Remember.... the Reds are going to be a "contender" this year... :rolleyes:

    Anyways, I guess we get to look forward to Zeke's debut tommorow... it couldn't come against a better team.

    Astros 10-3 at home (best in MLB) but 1-10 on road (worst in MLB) :confused:

    Because our offense is 3rd in the NL at Home, 3rd from the bottom on the road. Pitching remains consistant.

    That tells me its comfort level. Its not like they're all taking advantage of MMP's cozy dimensions, or that this park has a Coors Field-like effect on the offense.

    Also, I do believe they've faced better pitching on the road rather than at home... that will even out.

    Have you guys seen Astacio's face? It looks worse than Seal. Sorry if this has been talked about before, just go to astros.com.

    Maybe it'll make him more intimidating on the mound.

    I can definitively say that I'm scared....

    He should wear his hat real low, and never smile.... hitters will tremble.

    the pirates are awful...they make so many "errors" that don't show up on the scoresheet as "errors".

    I am loving Willy at the top of the lineup ... Glad Garner finally saw the light on that issue.

    I'll be amazed if we can get this back to .500 for Berkman's return. I still have some hope.
