WWW !!! I might be going to saturday's game...hope my boy oswalt can get his 20th and hopefully by saturday we'll be a game up (fingers crossed) Biggest game of the season is probably tomorrow night's game, with munro pitching. Come on Munro, this should be the biggest start of the season!!!
It is up to us to get it done...I've been like Kerry, flip-flopping on whether the stros' were in or out, but I'm here to tell you, I truly believe they;ll get it done...I wish Backe were available instead of munro, but I can see him coming in and doing relief... WWW Go Stros!!!
Those were old stats ... here are the new ones * To WIN WILD CARD If the Astros go: 3-0: Cubs/Giants must go 3-1 or worse 2-1: Cubs/Giants must go 2-2 or worse 1-2: Cubs/Giants must go 1-3 or worse • TO TIE FOR WILD CARD If the Astros go: 3-0: Cubs/Giants must go 4-0 2-1: Cubs/Giants must go 3-1 1-2: Cubs/Giants must go 2-2 0-3: Cubs/Giants must go 1-4
Even if the Stros don't make the playoffs I think winning 90+ games after being in the grave for 2 months is amazing by itself.
That series against the Cards was the first time all year I weighed in with a series prediction, and I went with WWW. And look what happened! So, of course, for the Rockies series I'm going: WWW
