bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/10/19, 07:13 PM I figured I would see a few posts here...ok, it is your turn to gloat, but we are going back to Busch..thank God. It may yet be far from over. But, I must give credit where it is due..Backe pitched one heck of a game. Why Larussa took Williams out for a pinch hitter when he did with nonone on base and 2 outs, I will never know. A stellar pitching effort went to waste,:( but one of them had to lose.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2005/10/20, 05:37 AM First off let me congratulate you and the Stros. And Oswalt was great. Now, if I may rant a bit, this series was eerily similar to last years flop in the world series. A high scoring team, making things happen all year, suddenly cannot get a hit in a 7 game series? Geez, they beat good pitchers all year, the Cardinals have become a major dissapointment. Last year it was blamed on pitching, well they went out and got Mulder, who was supposed to be that big game pitcher they needed. Ha! What a flop he was! Oh well, it is weird what this team does..at least the Braves scored some runs! Oh well, congrats to you and best of luck to the Astro's in the WS. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2005/10/22, 11:05 PM As long as the Spankees aren't in it, I'm happy. Pujols homerun on Monday night was one of the most amazing sports moments that I have witnessed live(I know there are tons more). I'm going for the BLACK SOX because it would really be cool to see Boston(1918) win one year and the White Sox(1917) the next. Plus, I CAN'T STAND ROGER CLEMENS for the reason he head-hunted my beloved Mike Piazza. I respect him as the greatect living pitcher though. Oswalt, when he is hitting the corners, cannot be hit. Pettitte, well, he left the Spankees so I like him for that reason. He's great in the playoffs and we've seen that for so many years. Chicago's starting pitching is second only to Houston but their middle relief is awesome with Koch, Jenks, and El Duque and Hermanson closing. Stros have Wheeler to set up and Lidge to close. I give the edge to...wow, thats too close to call. Hitting belongs to the Sox all the way. Berkman is always dangerous but the rest of the lineup is questionable. I know you Astros fans won't agree with me, but at least I'm honest. Jimbo's pick: SOX in 6...sorry Astros, so close but no Mike Scott for game 7...I'm a Mets fan, I don't forget about '86.:laugh: -------------- Shut up and grow. Thank God I don\'t have to got through another year of the Yankees winning the World Series.
Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2005/10/23, 12:20 PM Correction....Cotts, not Koch...and Hermanson is not the closer any more. Jenks threw a 102 mph fb last night...thats sick. -------------- Shut up and grow. Thank God I don\'t have to got through another year of the Yankees winning the World Series.
Keaper Posts: 100 Joined: 2003/10/21	2005/10/24, 01:37 PM I have to say that the 'stros are backed into a corner for now, but then again they have been resilient and at their best when faced with impossible odds. At least they proved that a power closer can be scored on and they will not go out without a fight. The series will be in our house for the next three games (hopefully). The Sox have some kind of magic on there side due to some questionable calls buy the 'umps'. That's baseball!!! -------------- Courage is being scared to death....and saddling up anyway John Wayne \"When in doubt, let your horse do the thinkin\"
