Personally, I needed the break. :)

Between the work week and games 1 & 2 , I'm shot tonight. I just had a nice bit of Glenlivet, and now I'm ready for bed. I'm an old 29.

Jimmy Key...sigh.. to have a lefty starter.

There's a Rocket on the pad in Htown.
 
astros are done. st louis just has too much firepower, and the pitching to shut down the hot and cold asstros bats.

i'm calling it 4-1.

Jack Flack always escapes!
I just noticed that FOX is using a green screen behind the batters now so they can put any ad they want to on TV. (I haven't been able to watch any games until now). Wierd...

Man once Clemens got his splitter rolling...it was on!

Yup, not even the heart of their order could handle the split... That was a no-hit calibur splitter he had the last 3 innings

Beltran isnt human.
 
Man...Beltran is such an amazing player.

So what's this the announcers were saying earlier in the game about the Astros having no chance of signing him next year? They made it sound as if they aren't even going to try.

Announcers= idiots,they have no idea what Mclane is going to offer him or what Beltran plans on doing,they have no insider info.


Also I love how Tony always turns Lance around to bat right and Lance shoves it right down his throat.

They don't know what they're talking about.

I think after this postseason performance, McLane HAS to make a big offer. The other big free agent they let go was Randy...of course Randy was set on going to the desert. We will definitely make an offer...it's up to Beltran after that.

BTW, Lance OWNS Ray King.

That's pretty much what I thought. I laughed when one of them mentioned the fact that Biggio was going to be a free agent and said that he would probably go to another team.

Shit they just had to bring up '86 on fox :(
 
Could these announcers be any more anti-Houston? "HURR YOU'D BETTER WATCH THAT SLIDER OR SANDERS WILL LAUNCH IT OFF THE TRAIN TRACKS!" *slider for a swinging strike* "Well, he got lucky on that pitch."

Yeah...though I guess we might've lost anyway and then he might not have been able to throw 40+ pitches today...oh well whatever.

I've said I'm a Mets fan more than a Yankees fan. I love the Mets 1 point more because I grew up in a family of Mets lovers; I'll always root for the Mets in Subway Series. I do love the Yankees though and I love all New York sports teams.

Bringing up the 86 series doesn't bother me much.... the Mets knew they'd were toast if they had to face Mike Scott (he was fucking nasty that year). Plus it was one of the best playoffs in history win or lose. I'd have died a happy man if I could have gone to that game (granted, I was only 8 yrs old at the time).

Anyway...

Oswalt will win tomorrow.. the Cards have had trouble with pitchers that have good breaking balls and O has a great one.

speaking of Oswalt's breaking ball...

astros.com said:
He says he had that curveball in high school, but it did not garner him much of a big-league look. The Astros originally drafted Oswalt in 1996, in the 23rd round, and he attended junior college before signing as a "draft and follow" pick.

"I actually had a coach that coached at a 5A school who said at an All-Star Game that I couldn't compete at their level," said Oswalt, who attended tiny Weir High School.

"It made me drive harder," Oswalt said. "Going into [junior] college, it made me work harder. Sometimes I think guys get looked over because of the competition they're facing, but it doesn't mean they can't compete at a high level."

It doesn't get much higher than this.
