    Sorry but the best you can hope for is the Wild Card and Cleveland just may have something to say about that

    Well, I gotta report the BAD news when necessary. The freakin' Astros just dropped the first two of a four game series against Florida at home and are now 1 1/2 games behind them in the Wild Card We had two kinda lousy pitchers start these games (Backe who is not fully recovered from his injury and Wandy Rodriguez who's got potential but he's not anywhere near as reliable as Clemens, Oswalt or Pettitte).

    Oswalt and Clemens are scheduled to pitch games 3 & 4 of the series so we've got to win the BOTH of them or things are going to be very stressful from here on out......

    Our star rookie center fielder Willy Taveras had a ball hit off of his finger and he had to get five stitches on it so he's out for a few days and Morgan Ensberg has been out for seven games so far and who knows when he'll return. Things aren't looking so good.......

    BACK IN THE WILD CARD LEAD !!!

    Split the series with Florida so it was a wash.

    AND even with the injury laden roster, the Astros managed to score a whole lotta runs in the last two games with Florida. A very pleasant surprise.

    Well, after dropping the first game out of four to the lowly Pittsburg Pirates, the Astros took the last three of the series and STILL have a two game lead in the Wild Card.

    BUT we're on the road for three against the Cubs which play Houston very well AND we have to go to St. Louis for two. Then it's back to Houston for four more with the Cubs.

    Fortunately it appears Florida and Washington are pretty much out of it and Philadelphia has six of their nine remaining games on the road against Cincinnati and Washington, and three at home against the Mets.

    I don't think they'll win six of their last nine BUT I do think Houston will win five of their last nine so that means the Astros SHOULD win the Wild Card.

    Hmmmm, I hit that one EXACTLY

    Oh Philadelphia did indeed win six but oh dear me, that was one short

    I was kinda looking forward to a tie breaker with Philadelphia since they haven't beaten the Astros since sometime in 2003
