I have been looking forward to this for a long time but damn,the first 2 pitching matchups are pretty bad. 3 out of 4 would be great, but who cares -WWWW.
ok....WIN TONIGHT AND WE TIE FOR THE WC LEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WASHINGTON JUST LOST AGAIN!!!!!
Considering the way the pitching match-ups line up. I think it would be a succesful series if we only lost one game to the Nationals in the Wild Card race - if we ended up tied - or somehow passed them - it'll be a tremendous series. WWWW - because I do not like the ****ing Mets.
LWWW I like our chances to continue our tear...I hope its on National TV for us Dallas folks... Go Stros!!!!
It would be cool if the fans brought a rowdy playoff type atmosphere to the beginning of game one with the Mets. Boo Beltran, scream, cheer and pump the Astros up. Get behind young Astacio on the mound and then let the Astro bats erupt for some first inning scoring. OK no more daydreaming, back to my day job.
If Astacio keeps the ball down, he's effective. If he doesn't, he's not. Its as simple as that. Pedro will stifle us, but I don't think he'll shut us out. Regardless... I expect it to be an intense series where the focus will mainly be on the wild card chase, and not on Beltran's return (and who thought we'd be saying that 2 months ago...)
