Houston ASTROS!!!

[BigMacFU]

Now CC, when did I ever tout the Cubs as going all the way this year or doing well? I may have in previous years, when they were flirting with .500, but I knew it wouldn't happen this year at all. So, I will rub it in your face all year long because of your post back at the end of April/beginning of May when you were touting their best record in baseball. I love it!!!!

Whadda difference a month makes! Ouch, May did hurt, but the Astros are still a strong team and can do it!! GO ASTROS, KICK ASS, TAKE NAMES AND BEAT ST LOUIS AGAIN!!

It would be PRICELESS if, after shaming the Cards in their last season in their old stadium, they could shame them again during their first year in their new stadium!!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

The Astros have put together a little winning streak here, four games!! Nieve pitched a fantastic game on Friday and the bats came alive. Still have some ground to make up but we're not out of it yet.

While I'm naturally excited about Clemens coming back, I don't think it's as big of a deal as some are making it out to be unless of course it works as a psychological boost to the players than all the better. I'm very confident in Astros pitching, particularly the bullpen. One guy I wish they'd use more is Dave Borkowski BUT Qualls, Springer, Wheeler and Lidge are all doing pretty well as well as Gallo so the bullpen is doing just fine. The Astros bullpen makes or breaks us, it was the cause of MANY of those loses in May but I think that's behind us now (at least I hope).
