It's a great time to be an Astros fan!

If they win tomorrow at home...Houston will rock for days!

1. So they won tonight?

I was at work and couldn't watch/listen to the game.

I prefer to listen to the Astros' games on the radio - I think Milo Hamilton is a great announcer.

Go 'Stros!!!

2. They won! They won!

The Wizard of O's and Lights Out Lidge got it done tonight! Yeah, I watched the broadcast on 26...I prefer Milo any day!

5. Yaaay!!!!

:woohoo:

I so hope they FINALLY make it all the way to the World Series this year.

I have been following the Astros since the days of J.R. Richard, Joe Niekro, and Jose Cruz.

As your screen name says, I am Not Giving Up!

Edit: sp. :silly:

7. I have had exposure my entire life

I remember best the days of The Big Bopper, The Bottom Bullet, The Little Lefty, The Ryan Express, Mike Scott, Jose Cruuuuuuuuuz, Alan Ashby, Bill Doran.


Ah, the good old days.

3. Damn that weak Central Division. Damn it to hell.

:eyes: Cards v. Astros again. DU will rock for days. :D

4. We spanked the Braves tonight

7-3....Doubles, doubles, and more doubles. Mike Lamb hit a solo homer. We're ready this year!!

[cssmall]

6. Yeah, but we're all ready spanking the Padres. :D

Bwah ::takes off his disguise:: Seriously, I just like watching good baseball. We're ready too, promise. :) I mean fucking David Eckstein hit a home run. David Eckstein.

8. LOL

Well, last Sunday, I was there as Roy Oswalt knocked in a run. OK, he didn't homer, but he's a pitcher, and he got a hit.

[cssmall]

9. I saw that. I was great.

You know what? Matt Morris bunted and got on base. It was funny too. He didn't know what to do, what Suppan did last year would have been funny as well, but the Cards lost. ;)

10. I hope the bats stay hot

They need to win tomorrow!!!

11. Who's starting for the Braves tomorrow? Hudson again?

See, I thought ATL made the wrong trade and STL the right one for this reason: Hudson is a hell of a pitcher AND younger than Mulder, but chokes in the postseason. Mulder is consistent, but pitches well in the postseason.

12. Probable pitchers for tomorrow are Hudson and Backe

According to astros.com.

13. Backe has been way too up and down.

In fact, once you get past the big three in Houston, I would be worried as a 'Stros fan. But, if Petitte, Oswalt and Clemens do their job, G4 shouldn't be trouble. It's called attrition. :D But, the Cards have hit Petitte well and Clemens all right. It's going to be an interesting series.

[Not_Giving_Up]

14. Backe came through in the post season last year

They're hoping he'll do it again. I'm not worried...the Killer Bees are present and accounted for...The Hive is Alive!

[cssmall]

15. He just might. If we meet you there, I say to you good luck!

And, let us never get our emotions too high to enjoy the wonderful baseball being played.

[Not_Giving_Up]

16. Yes, the game!

When I had nothing but times on my hands (as a kid), I watch any game that was on. If the Astros weren't on TV, they were on my radio. Watched the Cubs on WGN, the Braves on TBS, and anybody else I could get. Now, I do good to catch my stros.

[cssmall]

17. Same here just take the Stros and replace'em with Cards. :D
